LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha has been rapidly gaining popularity among fans, with many growing increasingly drawn to her enchanting beauty and commanding presence on stage.
Recently, Kazuha has received high praise from K-netizens, commending the strides she's made in learning and using the Korean language since her debut.
Initially, when the Japanese starlet first joined LE SSERAFIM, Kazuha encountered several challenges due to the language barrier.

She has consistently shared with fans her journey to fluency, making an effort to engage with fans in Korean, which has given her practical, real-life opportunities to improve her language skills.

Kazuha's interview translation:
Q. Which aspect of your personality do you like the most?
A: Externally, it may not be readily apparent, but I harbor ambitions within that are greater than what meets the eye. To me, "ambition" is a word with positive connotations. It allows me to think about what I want to do and my dreams without being constrained by practical limitations.
