Use \setkomafont or maybe better \addtokomafont to change the font settings for an element like the chapter heading.
For all headings in the document the element disposition is used first followed by a specific element for the section level. And the element disposition is also used for the chapter entries in TOC. Because it is predefined as \normalcolor\sffamily\bfseries all headings in the document will be sans serif while the normal font in the document is still roman.

If the heading of only a specific level should be roman change the settings for its specific element. For example if only the chapter heading should be changed to roman use
\addtokomafont{chapter}{\rmfamily}Image may be NSFW.
