LE SSERAFIM Exclusive Behind-The-Scenes Video
True to form, the footage showcased the group’s undeniable talent and their ability to effortlessly embody the essence of Louis Vuitton. However, it was the rehearsal outfits that captured the attention of netizens, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
While it was expected that the members would be seen donning the iconic garments of the esteemed designer, the distinctively mismatched outfits worn during the rehearsals raised eyebrows and left many scratching their heads.
For a group that is known for their impeccable style, particularly in sportswear during rehearsals and dance practices, the lack of coordination in these particular Louis Vuitton ensembles was glaringly apparent.
Social media platforms were inundated with discussions surrounding the seemingly punishing outfits chosen for LE SSERAFIM’s rehearsals.

TikTok videos and YouTube comment sections were abuzz with netizens expressing their disappointment and confusion over the unusual styling choices. Some even went as far as speculating that the members were being subjected to some form of retribution due to the perceived inadequacy of their attire.
In one viral video, Kazuha, a member of the group, was highlighted as her movement appeared restricted by her coat during practice. This further fueled the discontent and sparked a chorus of criticism. It was evident that the lack of comfort and coordination in the rehearsal outfits had a detrimental impact on the group’s overall performance preparation, a circumstance that is far from ideal for any artist, especially idols who strive for perfection.
Given the significant attention garnered by the video showcasing the rehearsal process, it is understandable that netizens hoped for a more visually appealing presentation. The fact that the outfits fell short of expectations, combined with the apparent discomfort experienced by some members, only added fuel to the fire of online discussion.
