BTS's Jimin Literally Changed LE SSERAFIM Kazuha's Life And Influenced Where She Is Today

LE SSERAFIM‘s Kazuha is living proof that K-pop has the power to inspire and captivate people from all walks of life. The 19-year-old idol is a former professional ballerina who gave up years of rigorous training to pursue a new path. And there’s one person who influenced her decision—BTS‘s Jimin!

In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, she revealed that her interest in K-pop was sparked by none other than the “Dynamite” singer, whom she admired for his exceptional contemporary dance skills.

I only knew ballet before, but I got interested in K-pop especially because of Jimin from BTS, because he also majored in contemporary dance.

Previously only interested in ballet, she came to realize that K-Pop was a genre that she wanted to pursue herself. She had hoped that it would help her express herself in a “very diverse way.”

[I was] enamored by K-pop. It got me thinking that I wanna try this kind of dance and music so that I can express myself in a very diverse way.

Once she made the decision, she never looked back. Despite having to leave everything she knew behind and move to a different country, Kazuha worked hard to pursue her dream. She ultimately debuted in LE SSERAFIM and is now a sought-after K-Pop idol who is booking endorsements left and right.
