LE SSERAFIM shared personal letters with fans during their Incheon encore, revealing deep emotion and heartfelt gratitude. Each member reflected on the past year’s hardships, expressing love and trust toward FEARNOT while showing unity. Their letters created a powerful moment of connection and promise for the future.
Heartfelt Letters Shared by LE SSERAFIM During Encore in Incheon
On April 20, LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae) delivered a powerful encore performance at Inspire Arena in Incheon. The event marked the second show of their debut world tour, 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’ IN INCHEON. After captivating the audience with their high-energy performances and solid live vocals, the group added a personal touch. During the encore, each member read heartfelt letters they had prepared in advance, creating a deeply emotional atmosphere.
Their decision to share these letters was a sincere attempt to speak openly to their fans, FEARNOT. The group acknowledged the difficult journey they’ve faced over the past year, including public criticism after their Coachella stage and controversies involving HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin, during which their team name became embroiled in public discourse. The tone of the letters revealed the depth of their emotions and showed their gratitude and determination.
Kazuha Reflects on the Journey Through Her Letter to Fans
Kazuha began by expressing how the sight of the fans moved her. She said they felt like people who had endured hardships together, which made her feelings even deeper. She recalled the many nights both she and their fans had spent in worry, sadness, and exhaustion. Some nights they cried, other nights they fell asleep wrapped in the warmth of someone’s encouragement. She believed that fans must have felt similar emotions while staying by their side.
Despite the difficulties, Kazuha thanked everyone who continued to show up like they did that night. She expressed her gratitude for not walking away during hard times. Though the road ahead may not be easy, she assured them of the group’s sincerity and commitment. The five members would continue to create stages and music that only they could deliver. She asked fans to trust them and keep watching as they take on new challenges.
Hong Eunchae Shares Her Growth Through LE SSERAFIM and Letters
Hong Eunchae spoke about how nervous she felt at the start of the tour. During moments when she was physically overwhelmed, a thought suddenly crossed her mind: “How long can I keep performing on this stage?” She realized then that not everything needs to have a perfect answer. Instead, she hoped she and the other four members could shine on stage with FEARNOT for as long as possible.
Debuting at 17 and now entering adulthood, she reflected on how every high and low moment with LE SSERAFIM helped her grow emotionally. She admitted that their path together wouldn’t always be smooth. However, she believed that the presence of hardship made the beautiful moments even more meaningful. She felt thankful that FEARNOT recognized the effort they had put in. While they were far from perfect, she promised to always do her best and remain a source of strength. She wanted to continue being someone fans could rely on during both joyful and difficult times.
LE SSERAFIM Communicates Deep Trust Through Their Letters
Leader Kim Chaewon said plainly, “So much has happened.” She thanked FEARNOT for enduring everything and staying with them. Her voice was calm but strong as she said that this moment gave her the confidence that, no matter what comes next, as long as LE SSERAFIM and FEARNOT are together, she can overcome anything. Every moment, even the hard ones, happened for a reason. She believed those times gave them the chance to become stronger and more resilient. She promised they would do even better in their future endeavors and asked everyone to continue watching over their journey.
During her turn, Huh Yunjin sat on the stage to read her letter. She recalled the emotional breakdown she had during a phone call with a company staff member in a hotel room last year. “What do we do now? Is there really a future for us? I can’t tell what’s real and what’s fake.” These were the questions that ran through her mind. The path ahead looked completely dark. But she realized she had no choice but to move forward. Even when a wall seemed impossible to overcome, all they could do was keep walking and trying.
Letters Reveal Huh Yunjin and Sakura’s Emotional Growth and Bond with Fans
Huh Yunjin guessed fans also went through hard times last year. She shared that her emotions expanded in so many ways over those months. There were moments of deep frustration, but she couldn’t give up. There were too many people who continued to cheer her on. When Sakura began to cry next to her, Yunjin grew teary as well. She said that they survived by holding on to the thought that they had to protect FEARNOT. Eventually, she realized the darkness wasn’t a dead end but a tunnel. And from within that tunnel, she began to see the light and feel the growing bond between the members.
She concluded by answering the question that haunted her: “What is real and what is fake?” She said the answer was right in front of them—in the energy, memories, passion, sincerity, and warmth shared in that space. None of it came easily. Their love and the time they share with fans are real. She encouraged everyone to keep moving forward by remembering the things that make their hearts beat. With deep gratitude, she said, “You protected us for the past year. Now, we will protect you.”
Sakura Looks Back on Her Idol Journey and Shares a Poignant Letter
Sakura reflected on her long career. She began as an idol in 2011, which means she’s now spent more than half of her life in this profession. Her voice trembled as she said that each moment along the way helped her get this far. She remembered moments with fans who once read her letters aloud in Japanese because her Korean wasn’t strong at the time. She also recalled the fans who finally got the chance to cheer her on in person after ten years, because she continued her path as an idol.
She said those precious memories became her source of strength. “I was nothing,” she said, “but the fans made me shine.” Though it’s a common phrase, she said she meant it from the bottom of her heart. She thanked them sincerely and said she loved them. She also said she felt incredibly lucky to have LE SSERAFIM as her final idol team. She promised to keep improving and show an even better version of herself in the future.
Even through their tears, the members all expressed one thing clearly—they were truly happy, all because of FEARNOT. LE SSERAFIM will continue their tour with 17 performances scheduled across Nagoya, Osaka, Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore from May through August. A North American tour is also planned for September.
Fans Celebrate the Honesty in LE SSERAFIM and Their Letters
On the Korean forum MLBPARK, fans uploaded photos and videos taken at the concert. In one video, Kim Chaewon tries to hold back tears as Huh Yunjin reads her letter. Another image shows members hugging Hong Eunchae after she breaks down in tears post-letter. Fans expressed pride, saying the group had grown not only as performers but also as individuals.
A particular moment from Sakura drew attention. She compared herself to the moon—unable to shine by itself but glowing because of the support from fans, like light from the sun. Many fans said that metaphor showed her uniquely Japanese emotional style. Above all, they were touched by the group’s sincerity and honesty, now more confident and united than ever.

Seriously can’t thank you enough for not letting go, not giving up, and for being here with us looking this amazing. ❤️ The past year was so tough as a FEARNOT and as a fan of HYBE artists, but I think we all just kept going with the thought of ‘don’t get tired, don’t give up, so we can all be happy.’ Thank you again, and let’s keep being together and loving each other forever and ever! 🥰
