LE SSERAFIM have taken a step in response to recent online harassment by disabling the comment sections across their social media platforms. As of now, posts on X, Instagram, TikTok, and other networks only allow likes and shares, effectively barring any new comments from being posted or viewed. This decision extends to the personal accounts of the group’s members as well.
The move follows a surge in harmful and malicious comments targeting the group, which has raised considerable concern among their fanbase. Fans have expressed a willingness to see the group take a hiatus if it means ensuring their safety and well-being. The heightened negativity has been particularly alarming given the recent release of LE SSERAFIM’s documentary, ‘MAKE IT LOOK EASY’. This film reveals the pressures and challenges faced by the members, including distressing scenes where the young idols grapple with intense criticism.
In the documentary, 17-year-old Eunchae is shown reading hateful comments that question her readiness and ability, while other members, such as Yunjin, are depicted dealing with similar issues. Yunjin is seen visibly distressed by the negative feedback, with one particular moment capturing her in tears while viewing her phone. The film also reveals the members’ fears and insecurities, including Sakura’s anxiety about performing in front of the crowd. The group’s management, Source Music, had previously addressed malicious comments in June, but the ongoing nature of the abuse has prompted this more drastic measure to protect the members.
