LE SSERAFIM has shared their personal struggles and emotions in a heartfelt and tearful documentary.

On July 29, 'HYBE Labels' released a five-part documentary series about LE SSERAFIM. In the series, member Hong Eun Chae opened up about her uncertainties, admitting that she isn't sure about her true self when asked, "What is your true self?" She expressed feeling more accepted and open due to the growing number of fans and the love they receive.

Hong Eun Chae also discussed the pressure to conform to public expectations, stating, "Because there are certain looks, behaviors, and images that the public likes, I subconsciously try to match them and compare myself. I keep comparing myself and worrying about how I come across."

Huh Yun Jin also shared her emotional struggles while working on music, revealing that she feels constant pressure from the public and those in the industry. In an interview, she spoke about her desire to break free from invisible boundaries and the responsibility she feels to live up to the expectations she set for herself. She expressed her determination to make a positive impact through her music.

Bang Si Hyuk, Chairman of HYBE, advised her to focus on her true self without worrying about public or company expectations. He explained, "I want you to just start writing without thinking about what the company and the public think." 

Throughout the docuseries, LE SSERAFIM members each candidly shared their thoughts on their struggles being idols and expressed their concerns about their careers.
