LE SSERAFIM Sakura reveals her convictions in response to harsh criticism on the Coachella stage… “No one is perfect”
On the 15th, Sakura posted a long article in Japanese on the official fan community Weverse, expressing her feelings after the Coachella performance.
Sakura asked, “What does it mean to stand on stage?” At the same time, he wrote a story that seemed to be conscious of the controversy over his skills, saying, "Is it to show a perfect appearance, to entertain the audience, or to complete the stage without a single mistake?"
Sakura then expressed her thoughts on the Coachella stage, saying, "Standards may be different for each person. I thought this stage was a stage where anyone would feel, 'It was an unforgettable, wonderful day. It was fun.'"
Sakura directly responded to the ongoing controversy over the Coachella stage, saying, "I think we created the best stage." She added her thoughts on the stage, saying, "It's been less than two years since our debut, and we've only toured once since my debut. We poured my heart out on the Coachella stage, had fun, and poured my heart into this stage."
Regarding the preparation process for the stage, Sakura said, "I prepared seriously, worked hard, and had fun," and "I think I was able to show it all on the day of the performance."
Soon after, as if explaining the current controversy, Sakura explained, "No one is perfect, and it was the best performance I've ever shown. That's an unchanging fact."
In addition, Sakura said, "Rather than comparing myself to others, I want to think about whether I am better now compared to my past self. I hope you find something you truly love and only focus on the good things you like. My life is “I just have to live the way I want to live,” he said.
Previously, LE SSERAFIM, to which Sakura belongs, appeared on stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereinafter referred to as Coachella) on the 13th (local time) and was criticized for their live skills falling short of expectations.
Below is the full text of Sakura Weverse’s post:
From preparing for Coachella to the day of the performance, I learned so much.
What does it mean to be on stage?
Is it to show off your perfect appearance?
Is it to entertain the audience?
Or will you complete the stage without making a single mistake?
Each person may have different standards.
It also depends on what kind of stage it is.
I want to show this performance to people who don't know us or who are hearing the song for the first time. 'Anyway, it was fun! I wanted to create a stage where people could feel, ‘It was an unforgettable, wonderful day!’
And I am confident that that decision will be conveyed.
I think we created the best stage. It's been less than two years since I debuted and I've only toured once, but I poured my heart out on the Coachella stage, had fun, and poured my heart into this stage.
It was a day when I felt like that was life and that was LE SSERAFIM.
Peona also faces many difficulties in life and faces many unreasonable situations. But I'm the only one who knows for sure what I did.
I prepared seriously for this performance, worked hard, and had fun, and I think I was able to show it all on the day of the performance.
It may seem immature to some, but no one is perfect.
It is an unchanging fact that it was the best performance so far.
So, I really looked forward to becoming a better team in the future, and it was a performance that made me want to work harder.

I think there is a difference between what I can gain by comparing myself to others and what I can gain by comparing myself to my past self. Please, even if you live an ordinary life in a painful world, I hope you find something you truly love and focus only on the good things you like.
I don't think it's naive to only see good things.
It's my life, so I can live it the way I want to live it.

I was walking around Coachella Plaza today and saw some people.
He said, “Yesterday’s performance was really cool!!!” That alone overwhelmed me with emotion.
The best memory for me is the memory of the audience on stage happily humming along until the end and sharing such a wonderful space together.
No matter what anyone thinks, I believe what I feel. This is why we came here.
I will not let you down and you will continue to believe in me.
I would like to say thank you to all the staff, dancers, members, and everyone who created this stage.
And I would like to sincerely thank Fiona for coming to the site or watching the broadcast.
I was able to do it with pride because I was blooming. Thank you very much.
And we will continue to do our best to show you a side that you can't even imagine, so please continue to support us😉
Thank you so much Coachella! ! ! I'll do my best next week! ! !
