In this week’s The Cover, LE SSERAFIM discuss their upcoming mini-album ‘Crazy’ and tearing down the walls of their “fearless” image. “Idols are expected to present ourselves as perfect, but, at the same time, nobody’s perfect,” Sakura says. “We have our shortcomings. It takes courage to express those and show that weakness, but we try to embrace it and move forward.”
