More details on LE SSERAFIM’s Chaewon’s interview with Star News

Chaewon is a multi-hyphenate artist and the leader of the renowned K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM. The 24-year-old was formerly part of the project girl group IZ*ONE before her debut as a member of the group.

In her interview with Star News, the Korean star revealed that she still suffered from self-doubt. The singer/dancer confessed she was hard on herself and always sought self-improvement. She also admitted that she felt regretful when her expectations weren’t met:

"I practice hard in a bit of a fight with myself and polish myself like this, but when the results don't meet my liking, there are times when I feel regretful."

She added that she resorted to practicing more and finding new passions to get over feelings of despair and overthinking her high expectations:

"I think I tend to have a hard time because I'm greedy, and I don't get too caught up in it. I try to get out of it quickly, practice more, and find a new side of myself because I have to show you better next time."

In other news, LE SSERAFIM released a mini album titled Hot on March 14, 2025. The album peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the US World Albums.
