Kim Chaewon's Lighthearted Confession

Le Sserafim's Kim Chaewon has humorously opened up about her recent brush with what she calls "celebrity illness." During a lively appearance on SBS's "Ani Geundeon Jinshi" – affectionately known as "Agnjin" – on the 1st, Chaewon shared a chuckle-worthy story that had everyone in stitches.

Le Sserafim's Meteoric Rise

The episode featured the entire Le Sserafim lineup, who basked in the glow of their skyrocketing popularity. Tak Jae-hoon, the host, couldn't help but marvel at the group's success, noting their impressive achievement of nine music videos each hitting 100 million views. As the conversation turned to their debut, Sakura proudly noted, "The debut song was sophisticated," hinting that the group's pre-debut buzz was entirely justified.

Chaewon's Humorous Anecdote

When Tak Jae-hoon playfully asked the members who felt they'd changed with fame, Kim Chaewon raised her hand, sparking laughter. She recounted a recent restaurant visit where she thought a fellow diner recognized her, only to realize they were eyeing a menu board behind her. "I was wondering if I should give them an autograph," Chaewon laughed, adding to the humor.

“Today, while I was eating at a restaurant, someone kept staring at me. I thought they definitely recognized me. I was wondering if I should give them an autograph, but it turned out there was a menu board behind me.”

Relatable Moments Shared

The segment took a turn for the relatable when Lee Su-ji shared her own amusing encounter involving an elderly man at a bus terminal. Kang Sora, acting as a special MC, reassured her with a smile, "It's because you have an expert aura." Their stories reminded us all that even in the whirlwind of fame, there's always room for a good laugh and a dose of humility.
