LE SSERAFIM Continues to Soar on Charts
LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) has claimed the No. 1 spot on SBS’s Inkigayo, even after wrapping up official promotions.
On the April 6 broadcast of Inkigayo, the girl group’s fifth mini-album title track “HOT” took first place.
The win was based on combined scores from album sales, SNS, viewer pre-votes, on-air points, real-time voting, and digital streaming, proving the group’s continued popularity despite ending official promotional activities.
Through their agency Source Music, LE SSERAFIM shared, “We gained so much strength from our fans’ passionate support during ‘HOT’ promotions, and we’re truly grateful to continue receiving so much love even after wrapping up.”
They added, “Just like the message of ‘HOT’—‘Even if we don’t know how it ends, we’ll burn everything for what we love’—we’ll continue to do our best for everyone who supports us and strive to always be a team to be proud of.”
Upon release, “HOT” entered the iTunes Top Songs charts in 27 countries and regions, including Japan, the U.S., and Hong Kong.
It also ranked third on Spotify Korea’s Daily Top Songs chart on April 1, following solo tracks by BTS members.
In Korea, the track climbed 66 and 74 spots respectively on Melon and Genie’s daily charts as of April 5, reaching No. 15 and No. 31. On Bugs, it placed at No. 3 on April 3.
LE SSERAFIM’s fifth mini-album also recorded impressive achievements.
The album topped weekly charts on Hanteo and Circle Chart, as well as Oricon’s daily and weekly digital album rankings in Japan.
Notably, the group secured No. 9 on the U.S. Billboard 200, becoming the only fourth-generation K-pop girl group to land four consecutive albums in the chart’s Top 10.
LE SSERAFIM is set to kick off their first world tour, 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’, starting with concerts in Incheon on April 19–20.
The tour will continue to Nagoya, Osaka, Kitakyushu, Saitama, Taipei, Hong Kong, Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore, connecting the group with fans across Asia.
