After being eliminated from the idol survival show Produce 48 in 2018, Yunjin returned to her home in New York, content for a short time that she may not become an idol. She shared with Teen Vogue that the feeling didn’t last long, and she soon found herself wondering what path she would find herself on next.

First, I was very much at peace. I was like, ‘It’s okay. It’s fine.’ And then, as time went [on], I was like, ‘No, it’s not fine. What am I going to do?’ Then I was angry. Then I was so sad. Then I was upset. Then I felt guilty at times. Then I felt sorry again. And then, in the end, I got myself together, and I was like, ‘I’m going to start a new life.

Since LE SSERAFIM’s debut in May 2022, Yunjin has already released four self-written songs, with her most recent being “Blessing In Disguise,” released on August 14.

The LE SSERAFIM members showed Yunjin love and support when she performed as a soloist for the first time at the 2023 Weverse Con Festival on June 11.

Yunjin shared that she’s noticed a difference between performing as soloist Huh Yunjin and as LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin.

The talented member revealed that she wonders if she’s allowed to be as vulnerable as she is performing as a soloist. Performing alone, Yunjin feels very “raw,” and she sometimes “feels naked.”

Sometimes I feel naked. I’m like, ‘Am I allowed to be this personal?’ But I [still] try to be as down to earth and transparent.

On the other hand, she revealed she feels like she “found [herself]” as LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin and credits that to the love and support she’s received from FEARNOTs.

I think the people who support and love us make us who we are. That person is also me, but it’s my ideal version of me. It’s the person that I really want to become. They’re both me, but LE SSERAFIM Yunjin is the ultimate version that I aspire to be, or when I’m alone, it’s a little more human.
