LE SSERAFIM is gearing up to launch their first official character series, 'FIM'S CLUB,' on October 29! The group, consisting of Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae, introduced these adorable characters through a video posted on their official social media on October 21.

The five characters—Kim Achi (Kim Chaewon), Sakkukku (Sakura), Heurimong (Huh Yunjin), Zhaharong (Kazuha), and Hong Pippi (Hong Eunchae)—each have their own unique charm. Kim Achi is a baby cheetah who dreams of being a cool trendsetter. Sakkukku is a cat who loves diving into different hobbies. Heurimong is a ghost who finds inspiration in books and music. Zhaharong stays positive no matter what, while Hong Pippi is the brave leader of 'FIM'S CLUB,' though she sometimes becomes an emotional little chick.

'FIM'S CLUB' was created with FEARNOT, LE SSERAFIM's fans, in mind, acting as a cute and comforting presence for them. The tagline "Join FIM'S CLUB!" captures the fun and friendly spirit of these characters.

What's really special is that LE SSERAFIM members were heavily involved in creating the characters, including their looks, names, and personalities. These characters actually started as sketches the members drew last year in their self-produced series 'LENIVERSE,' which got fans excited because they reflect the members' real selves. Now, fans can finally see the official version of 'FIM'S CLUB,' and with the cute designs inspired by animals and ghosts, there's no doubt FEARNOTs will love collecting them!

Starting with the character introduction video, LE SSERAFIM has more fun content planned for fans. Plus, 'FIM'S CLUB' merchandise will be available from October 29, so fans can get their hands on some adorable goodies.

In other news, LE SSERAFIM has been nominated in three categories at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards: ‘Best Push,’ ‘Best New,’ and ‘Best K-Pop,’ proving their global influence.

Kim Jaejoong, the famous singer and businessman, recently revealed that he was the victim of a hacking incident involving his Kakao Pay account, raising concerns about his financial safety.

On May 7, the star shared his experience with fans via the official fan platform From, explaining that his Kakao Pay account was hacked and the password was changed without his permission. As a result, Kim Jaejoong was locked out of his account and couldn’t access any of his information, which made the situation even more difficult to handle.

He expressed frustration over the customer service process, sharing that he had contacted support multiple times for help. Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved. Kim Jaejoong pointed out a flaw in the system: “The hacker changed the password, so why do I, the victim, have to prove everything?”

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career. In 2023, he co-founded iNKODE Entertainment, a company where he works as a producer and businessman. iNKODE Entertainment currently manages artists like Oh Ji Yul, Jung Si Hyun, Lee Ji Hoon, and others. Kim Jae joong also launched the 7-member girl group Say My Name last year.

Even though he’s facing challenges, Kim Jaejoong’s career remains strong, and he’s taking steps to ensure this type of situation doesn’t happen again.
