Hybe Labels — the company behind major K-pop acts like BTS, TXT, and Seventeen — is debuting a new girl group under Source Music in just a matter of weeks called Le Sserafim. According to a press release by Hybe, when you rearrange the letters in the name, you get "I'm fearless," and the phrase serves as a motto for the group. With this in mind, it only made sense Le Sserafim would name their debut mini album "Fearless." Their project is set to drop on Monday, May 2, so to prepare for their debut, get to know the six talented members of Le Sserafim. You'll be surprised to hear the group include a few familiar faces.

Sakura is the oldest member of Le Sserafim. She was born in 1998, making her 24 years old. You might recognize her as a former member of the K-pop group IZ*ONE, which was formed on the reality competition show "Produce 48" in 2018 and went on to release a number of hits, including "La Vie en Rose."
IZ*ONE was together for three years and then unfortunately disbanded in April 2021. Sakura was also once a member of the Japanese girl group HKT48 before she "graduated" from the group last June.
Kim Chaewon was born in 2000 and is currently 21 years old. She's also a former member of IZ*ONE like Sakura. During her time with the group, Chaewon was a lead dancer and vocalist. Now, she's apparently taking on the role of Le Sserafim's leader.
You may also recognize Huh Yunjin because she appeared on "Produce 48" with Chaewon and Sakura in 2018. The 20-year-old star, who was born in October 2001, was also once a trainee at Pledis Entertainment. Another interesting fact about Yunjin is she grew up in the United States but then moved to Korea to become an idol, according to Star News.
All six members of Le Sserafim are clearly so talented, and we can't wait to hear their debut single when it drops on May 2!
