The World Is My Oyster

Literary Journalism By Jenny Park

As a citizen of South Korea, Korean Pop music has always played an enormously influential role in my upbringing. It was the 26th of May in the year 2023 when I had been compelled by my sense of admiration. As the season of change comes to a close and the humidity of summer slowly rises, I found “change” within myself when I came across a documentary video of the, back then, one-year-old KPop girl group called LE SSERAFIM under the company Source Music. Originally, all that I had known back then was that they were a six-member group turned 5 and that three of their oldest members had come from a KPop survival show called Produce48 — a brutal reality competition show wherein numerous trainees from Japanese girl group AKB48 and others from a variety of companies are sent to compete in singing, dancing, and rapping to showcase their skills and last until the end of the show through the votes of the judges as well as the viewers — but what had caught my eye was the title of the YouTube documentary; The World Is My Oyster.

A total of 4 videos, 20 minutes each, and the gut-wrenching reality behind the adversities of these girls working like dogs to achieve their lifelong dreams. That was what I had understood right then and there. The documentary itself reveals the triumphs and hardships the girls had to go through to prepare to meet the world as LE SSERAFIM.

Episode 01. The beginning. Just like staring at an empty canvas, the beginning, the start, and the forefront is always the most difficult. When the group first came together, the girls had all been contacted by HYBE Labels underscoring a similar statement of “I want you to join the team.” With fluttering feelings of both nervousness and excitement, each of the girls — Sakura, Kim Chaewon, and Huh Yunjin — return from where they once were to become a member of a team of possible strangers. “It’s a bit of a pressure to be carrying the name Miyawaki Sakura,” “I want to show a side of me that’s new and better than when I was in IZ*ONE,” “It felt strange. Other companies have contacted me but I was just going to go back to school. I thought that I had nothing left to do with KPop.” Once again, starting the training process with singing, dancing, media training, and language training, their lives were flipped upside down when one of the trainees — Haruka — was announced to be eliminated from the team. The brutal truth is that even though you have trained together, ate together, and spent nearly 24/7 together, in the end, you may end up in entirely different directions. The cold reality here is that reasons as simple as not fitting the aesthetic or vision of the team can get you removed. As the remaining three were left in a dark place, not knowing when they would debut or if they would even get to debut together, a bright light from the Netherlands has given them hope. Nakamura Kazuha, a girl who had been lost, found a new sense of interest in none other than KPop. A simple dream, yet so far away. From learning an entirely new language, being far away from family and from what you were used to, and doing a 180 from ballet to hip hop, waacking, and more. Not even three days later, the final member Hong Eunchae, born in 2006, entered the room.

Episode 02. The narrative of LE SSERAFIM. With the diverse backgrounds of each of the members — Sakura who has been an idol for over 10 years, coming back with her third debut, Chaewon who is reclaiming her identity and showing the world a new version of herself, Yunjin who had initially given up on her dream to simply live her life as a normal girl in New York, Kazuha who wanted to find a new passion within herself, and Eunchae who had been waiting for what felt like years to achieve the dream she has had since she was a little girl — the story they are trying to tell is towards the people talking about the past, they say that they do not need the past because “We are stepping into the future fearlessly. We won’t let the past hold us back.” To tell the audience that this is who they are, this is their story, and this is what they have been through. From going to work at 9:30 in the morning, having one-on-one lessons, meeting with the rest of the team to dance for up to at least seven hours a day, to going home at dawn. That vicious cycle of being in the South Korean media industry had just gotten even more difficult. With everyone’s eyes on you and all that you give to satisfy them, all you get in return is “you’re a bad singer,” which only further instills the insecurity and fear of entering the recording booth and wanting fewer and fewer parts in a song that tells your story. However, even when the girls’ debut becomes delayed, practices get tougher, and even when one’s health deteriorates, they have each other. Five girls who had been strangers not long ago, become a true team — a family — as they spend every second, minute, and hour of their days with one another and another piece of data enters the memory card.

Episode 03. The process of transformation. From wanting to show a new side of themselves and the overbearing thoughts of “If I had just lived a normal life and did not become a trainee, then would I have been freer? Was it right to give that life up?,” to the thoughts of wanting to do more, to experience and experiment further, to create pieces that are their very own right from their fingertips to the pen and papers laying on the mattress of the bed as the guitar lays taught on Huh Yunjin’s hands as a means of consolation and fascination. Every one of those girls has led what they had considered normal lives, and yet here they were doubting themselves and finding ways to overcome that intimidation and fear of being the most experienced and having shown the world who they once were, of being different, of choosing an entirely new path, and even that of being the youngest and constantly pushing yourself to catch up to the rest. Yet, each one of them shows that their hard work paved through until the end.

Episode 04. I am Fearless. The birth of LE SSERAFIM to the rest of the world finally arrived on the 2nd of May 2022. Fearless, is a befitting song title for the group who truly showed that they were brave throughout their pre-debut journey. Likewise, the name LE SSERAFIM is an anagram for the words I’M FEARLESS, marking the beginning of their success as a group that has now become akin to family. But before the group had been fully exposed to the idol industry, I could feel the buzz of their excitement through the screen of my phone as their album preparations had finished, their schedules were filled with different variety shows and live singing programs for idols, and their debut showcase was merely weeks away. However, when times get easy, it also gets rough. Since their debut was not far from approaching, they had to get stricter with each step, each stretch of the arm, facial expressions, their appearances, and their conditions. Fixing what they were lacking with the limited time they had was not an easy feat. As each one of them came together and polished endlessly at what they were given, the girl group became the talk of the town as news got out that they were debuting. Numerous articles in the South Korean media stating “HYBE’s First Girl Group Debut Countdown,” “First Reveal of LE SSERAFIM’s Visuals,” and “FEARLESS Showcase with Over 100,000 Concurrent Visitors” appeared as the group set their foot on stage for the first time as a team. Their team name plastered all around the big stage as they prepared to show their faces and their skills to those who had been eagerly waiting. Just as the LED stage cover slid up, the roar of the fans’ cheers filled the stadium to the brim with passion and enthusiasm as the members were slowly revealed to the world. The sea of white lights and banners printed with the team logo had spread chills all over me even just as a simple audience of this documentary and it was right there where I told myself that they belonged on the stage, they should not be separated from performing because that is what makes them feel alive. “I’m an idol because it makes me happy,” “My driving force is being on stage,” “I don’t have any regrets,” “We worked so hard and I want to show them that.”

The journey of LE SSERAFIM from their beginnings to their debut as a cohesive group is a testament to their unwavering determination and passion for their craft. Through the challenges of training, self-doubt, and the pressures of the industry, they have emerged as a courageous and united team. Their story is one of resilience, friendship, and the pursuit of their dreams. As they step into the spotlight, they carry with them the message that they are not bound by their pasts, but instead, they are boldly embracing the future. LE SSERAFIM’s debut marks not only the beginning of their music careers but also the start of a new chapter filled with endless possibilities and achievements because they are FEARLESS.

Do you guys understand how grateful I am to have had access to an education which gave me the ability to pursue a career that allows me to make my own income and live independently? I am a woman in my early twenties, childless and unmarried, with a job/income, I have so many options. Do you understand that my grandmother was illiterate, a child maid who married at 18 and had fifteen children? She had zero options. We are far from done, but my infinite joy and endless gratitude for all the women who made this possible will remain forever and ever. I won’t let my discouragement with the world stop me from enjoying the liberties I do have.

Y mi abuelita 😔…siempre ando con la curiosidad: ¿Qué tipo de vida hubiese tenido ella si pudiera escribir su propio nombre?

I'm a weirdo who sleeps with nothing much on my bed other than my pillow and my sheets, especially in the summer when it gets hot. Now, with Chili sleeping in the bed, if my big ass comforter is not there for her to curl up against, she keeps waking me up by needing to be practically up my ass all night. So I need to get a body pillow so my dog will stop trying to adhere to my back like the unholy combo of a space heater/barnacle that she is.

The question then becomes: what kind of pillowcase do I get for it? Ironic sexy anime waifu? Something cute? Something cursed?

#jacq life #the world is my oyster #wait i may have thought of one #that one robot fro ultrakill #theres a good bodypillow of him
