Who LE SSERAFIM are

LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) are a five-member girl group under SOURCE MUSIC, a label under HYBE. They debuted on 2 May 2022 with the mini album FEARLESS, and eight days later, on 10 May, took their first music-show win on The Show. The name is an anagram of the English phrase I’M FEARLESS; the label describes it as a resolve to move forward without fear, unshaken by how the world looks at them.

The group debuted as six, and since July 2022 it has worked as five: Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha and Hong Eunchae. The fandom is called FEARNOT (피어나).

On stage and on the charts

The Japanese stage came before the formal Japanese debut. LE SSERAFIM appeared on the 73rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen on 31 December 2022 (Newsis) and released their Japanese debut single FEARLESS on 25 January 2023. The single reached number one on the Oricon daily singles ranking dated 28 January, with 51,249 copies (Xports News). Sports Kyunghyang reported on 21 November 2024 that the group had received the Special International Music Award at the Japan Record Awards and had been invited to Kōhaku for the third year in a row.

The concerts grew year by year. The first solo tour, FLAME RISES, opened in Seoul on 12–13 August 2023 and went on to Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Jakarta and Bangkok, seven cities in all (Tenasia). On 13 and 20 April 2024 they played the Sahara stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States (Star News). The first world tour, EASY CRAZY HOT, began in Incheon on 19–20 April 2025 and was introduced as the finale of the trilogy of the third, fourth and fifth mini albums EASY, CRAZY and HOT (Single List). By way of their first solo concerts at the Tokyo Dome on 18–19 November, the tour ran to an encore at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on 31 January–1 February 2026, 31 shows in 20 cities (Sports Kyunghyang, TopStar News).

The albums have left a mark on the US charts too. Asia Economy reported on 1 June 2026 that the second full-length album PUREFLOW pt.1 had reached number 10 on the Billboard 200 dated 6 June, so that all five albums, after UNFORGIVEN (6), EASY (8), CRAZY (7) and HOT (9), had made the top ten. The same report wrote that where the group had shouted early on that they were strong because they had no fear, the new album carries the message that they could grow stronger because they know fear.

At award shows, they won three categories at AAA 2024, including the Grand Prize for Performance of the Year (Sports Kyunghyang; Bangkok, 27 December 2024), and the Music Icon of the Year award at AAA 2025 (Star News; Kaohsiung, 6 December 2025). On 13 October 2023 the five members became Louis Vuitton house ambassadors together (Star News). On 13 September 2026 they closed the main stage of BlizzCon 2026 in Anaheim, performing 13 songs in about 45 minutes and giving ‘Made My Night’ its first stage performance (Star News).

Where to start

Start with ‘Made My Night’, the title track of the second single album Made My Night, released on 11 September 2026; its music video was made with the game Overwatch. Before it, on 22 May, came the second full-length album PUREFLOW pt.1, whose title track is ‘BOOMPALA’. ‘SPAGHETTI’, released in October 2025, reached number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, the group’s highest position on that chart.
