“The cutest thing ever”: Fans react to LE SSERAFIM adorably running to BTS’ Jimin to ask for a comeback challenge

LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura and Kazuha had the opportunity to film BTS’ Jimin’s dance challenge for Like Crazy recently, and they took the chance to ask for the same in return.

On April 8, 2023, LE SSERAFIM posted a behind-the-scenes video of its members filming BTS’ Jimin’s Like Crazy and j-hope’s on the street challenge in HYBE’s gym. Sakura and Kazuha were selected for the former’s challenge while maknae Eunchae was selected for the latter’s.

Among the many adorable moments between the HYBE junior-senior interactions, fans specifically gushed over Sakura, Kazuha, and Jimin’s exchange. The trio had fun filming the Like Crazy dance challenge. After completing the challenge, LE SSERAFIM members got busy sharing their thoughts on camera about filming with their senior. They then noticed that the BTS singer was leaving the gym and ran towards him, screaming "Jimin sunbaenim."

This particular moment left many fans squealing in excitement as they found Sakura and Kazuha adorable. Similar was the case with BTS’ Jimin, as he first got on his knees and climbed down the stairs to properly talk to them.

The video contains imagery of blood, bruised faces, burnt wings, etc., that signifies alternate universes - and the characters’ freedom.
