According to a report published on March 25, HYBE Labels and Source Music's upcoming girl group will consist of six members: former IZ*ONE members Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae Won, former Produce 48 contestant Heo Yun Jin, two former Source Music trainees, and a sixth member personally discovered by Source Music's CEO in the Netherlands.

Source Music began a countdown reading 'IM FEARLESS' on March 25 at midnight KST (March 24, 8:30 pm IST), which will end on March 28 at 12 am KST (March 27, 8:30 pm IST). When the countdown came to a close, Source Music announced the name of the upcoming girl group, 'LE SSERAFIM,' as well as launching many official social media sites.

Meanwhile, a media site stated on March 21 that the girl group was practicing in preparation for their May debut. "The first girl group founded under HYBE Labels with Kim Chae Won and Miyawaki Sakura is preparing with a goal to debut in May," Source Music confirmed. "Their debut timetable will be publicized after it is confirmed," the agency added.

Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae Won first collaborated as part of the project girl group IZ*ONE, which was founded through Mnet's 'Produce 48' survival program. After IZ*ONE's special deal expired in April 2021, it was revealed on March 14 that both members of the former girl group had secured exclusive contracts with HYBE Labels' subsidiary Source Music.
