Kazuha

Kazuha (born August 9, 2003) traded professional ballet for K-pop, bringing elite-level dance training to LE SSERAFIM. Her path to idol life ran through some of the world's most prestigious dance academies.

Before K-pop, Kazuha trained as a classical ballerina at three of ballet's most storied institutions: the Moscow State Academy of Choreography (Bolshoi Academy), the Royal Ballet School in London, and the Dutch National Ballet Academy in Amsterdam. During her studies in the Netherlands, HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk personally scouted her for Source Music.

She debuted with LE SSERAFIM on May 2, 2022, as the group's fifth revealed member. Her ballet background immediately distinguished her: the choreography for "Antifragile" incorporated her classical training, and she's become known for executing LE SSERAFIM's technical routines with precision that reflects her years of formal dance education.

Within the group, Kazuha anchors the performance line alongside Hong Eunchae. LE SSERAFIM's Coachella 2024 appearance, 2024 MTV VMA performance, and MTV EMA debut all showcased her stage command. She contributes Japanese-language content alongside Sakura, expanding the group's reach in Japan.
