Following the announcement, LE SSERAFIM fans have expressed concern for the members—sharing their personal experiences with the flu season and how recovering “took longer than it did for COVID-19.”

• “The flu was worse than COVID-19, IMO. It was painful-AF… I hope they get the rest they need before coming back.”
• “I couldn’t even sleep when I had the flu. I needed fluids to get me through it. Sucks that the concerts had to be called off, but I hope they rest and get well soon.”
• “When I got the Type A Flu, I took longer to recover from it than I did for COVID-19. Of course, I spent the whole time scrolling on my phone…”
• “Stay healthy, girls.”
• “COVID-19 was nothing compared to the flu. Like, the flu comes with that high fever. It’s hard… I think it’s flu season right now. Take care, everyone.”
• “I was out dead for three days with the flu… It’s so painful. You all stay heathy!”
• “Oh no, must be painful. What a bummer… I hope they get well soon!”
