LE SSERAFIM

LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) rewrote the fourth-generation playbook. Formed by Source Music, a HYBE subsidiary, the five-member group launched May 2, 2022, and proceeded to set records that previous acts spent years chasing.

The group's name is an anagram of "I'm Fearless" and references the six-winged seraphim of religious tradition. That confidence proved warranted: their debut EP "Fearless" entered pre-orders at 380,000 copies, and follow-up "Antifragile" hit No. 14 on the Billboard 200, making them the fastest K-pop girl group to debut on the chart at the time.

The lineup combines experience with fresh energy. Sakura and Kim Chaewon brought IZ*ONE and Japanese 48 Group pedigrees. Huh Yunjin survived Produce 48 elimination to become the group's main songwriter. Kazuha arrived via professional ballet. Hong Eunchae debuted at 15 with zero prior public exposure.

Since 2022, LE SSERAFIM has stacked achievements: "Perfect Night" topped Circle Digital Chart for six weeks; "Easy" marked their first Billboard Hot 100 entry; "SPAGHETTI" reached Hot 100 No. 50 in October 2025, their highest US chart position yet. They performed at Coachella 2024, won MTV VMA PUSH Performance of the Year, and earned MTV EMA Best Push.

The group now heads into its next phase with mini album "PUREFLOW pt.1" due May 22, 2026 and the 23-city PUREFLOW world tour opening in Incheon that July. It is their clearest play yet for a fully global touring era.
