Eunchae

Hong Eunchae was born on November 10, 2006, in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea. As the youngest member (maknae) of LE SSERAFIM, she holds the distinction of being one of the youngest idols to debut under a HYBE-affiliated label, having been just 15 years old when LE SSERAFIM made their official debut on May 2, 2022. Unlike several of her older groupmates, Eunchae did not appear on any survival program prior to debut, having been recruited and trained directly through Source Music.

Despite her young age at debut, Eunchae quickly became a standout performer within the group. Her dancing is energetic and precise, and her position as Lead Dancer is a testament to her rapid development under Source Music's training. Fans were quickly captivated by her bright, expressive personality, which provides a warm counterpoint to the group's generally fierce and confident image.

Eunchae's role as the maknae brings a specific dynamic to LE SSERAFIM's group chemistry. She is frequently described as the group's "mood-maker" — the member whose genuine enthusiasm, laughter, and energy lifts the atmosphere both on-stage and behind the scenes. Her openness and expressiveness during fan interactions and variety appearances have made her beloved for her authenticity and relatability.

Over her years as an active idol, Eunchae has visibly grown in confidence and skill. What began as a young teenager navigating the intense pressures of the K-pop industry has evolved into a composed, technically strong performer who contributes meaningfully to LE SSERAFIM's live stage quality. Her journey from debut to established idol is one the fandom follows with particular pride, representing the transformative potential of passionate dedication at a young age.
