In April 2024, Sakura began exploring crocheting as a creative hobby, initially crafting small items like accessories before progressing to larger, more intricate projects such as beanies and tops.
Her passion for this art form quickly became evident, blending her interests with thoughtful gestures. For instance, she recently created a crochet bag as a gift for LE SSERAFIM's managers to make their work more convenient, showcasing her talent and her caring nature.
Sakura designed and crocheted a custom top for the group's Easy promotions, incorporating advanced techniques and even lettering that elegantly displayed the song’s title. She shared this creation on her Instagram, where fans admired the professional craftsmanship and her adorable styling with pigtails, and a coordinated outfit.
Sakura’s KKUROCHET project not only showcases her talent but also serves as an invitation to fans to embrace creativity and discover hobbies they love. As the first solo merchandise launch by Sakura, this collection is both a tribute to her artistry and a gift to fans eager to connect with her on a personal level.
