The final members of the new group SAINT SATINE were announced on May 12. They are a four-member global artist group formed through the audition program 'WORLD: THE FINAL PIECE', a project by HYBE × Geffen Records.

'WORLD: THE FINAL PIECE' made headlines for its unique audition format, aiming to find the final piece to complete SAINT SATINE—a Japanese member—to join Emily (USA), Lexi (Sweden), and Samara (Brazil). Members of LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT participated as mentors.

SAKURA was selected from 14,000 applicants. Shortly after the final selection, she visited the set of ViVi. Although she was nervous, she showed various expressions and poses, and the staff highly praised her rapid learning ability and boundless energy.

The magazine also includes an interview diving into SAKURA's personality, secret audition stories, and future dreams. Don't miss her first magazine appearance, where she says, 'I met a version of myself I hadn't seen before.'

ViVi's July/August 2026 combined issue goes on sale May 22.
