LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura and Chaewon are drawing attention after fans noticed a sudden change to their Instagram following lists.
The two idols have unfollowed all former members of IZ*ONE, the group they were part of before debuting in LE SSERAFIM under Source Music in 2022. The abrupt change has sparked both confusion and anger among fans.
Sakura and Chaewon now appear to follow only their current group members on their personal accounts.
IZ*ONE was active from 2018 to 2021 and built a strong fanbase, with many continuing to closely follow the members even after disbandment. The group was known for their close bond, making the unfollows a hot topic online.
Many fans believe the move could signal a shift in the relationship between the former members.

Others have pointed fingers at Source Music and HYBE, suspecting company involvement.

The timing has also raised questions, as the move comes ahead of LE SSERAFIM’s highly anticipated April comeback. Some fans think it could be tied to promotions or a way to emphasize the group’s current identity.
As of now, neither idol has addressed the situation, leaving fans to interpret the unfollows on their own.
