But eventually, LE SSERAFIM Sakura realized that there will always be people who hate her for no reason. So instead of paying attention to them, she developed a healthier mindset to deal with those malicious comments.

She explained, "Before, it was really hard for me to look at malicious comments. Now, I don't pay much attention because I realized people always see what they want to, so now I just think 'whatevs'."

As Miyawaki Sakura has become more mature than before, her mindset has also gotten stronger. Thanks to this, she now has the ability to help her fellow members who are also receiving malicious comments, giving them advice on how to handle them.

In a separate interview, the "FEARLESS" singer shared, "I thought that they (the members) would face the similar hardship I faced when I first debuted. So, I want to share with them how I handled the situation at those times. People say a lot of different things when you get attention."

She confessed that it was initially hard for her to see people say things about her when they didn't even see her in person. But she soon realized that it's 2:6:2- 20% of the people like her no matter what she does, 60% of people will evaluate her by looking at her results, and 20% of people will hate her no matter what she does.
