Sakura of LE SSERAFIM faces resurfaced past controversies

Controversies regarding Sakura, a member of the group LE SSERAFIM, have resurfaced on South Korean social media. The discussions center on past incidents from her time as an idol in Japan.

One notable incident involves a 2012 television appearance regarding her former group mate, Ueki Nao. Sakura had claimed that Nao left their New Year's Eve celebration to spend time with someone else, which led to significant backlash against Nao from fans.

Sakura later apologized, admitting she had embellished the story for television entertainment. She clarified that Nao had actually remained present but had stepped away briefly to take a phone call from a manager.
