LE SSERAFIM is set to perform at the much-anticipated 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs)!
On Friday, September 6, MTV revealed through social media that the 4th-generation K-pop girl group will take this year's VMA Pre-Show stage, which is scheduled before the main ceremony.
On top of their forthcoming performance, attention is also focused on the group as they are nominated for the Push Performance of the Year award with their hit track "EASY." This marks their first-ever VMA nomination since their debut in May 2022.

Sadly, despite FEARNOTs' (LE SSERAFIM fandom) excitement for the K-pop group's upcoming VMA performance, anti-fans rallied on various social platforms to deride the idols. A plethora of netizens also voiced their reservations regarding LE SSERAFIM's live performance skills, following their Coachella fiasco in April.
These are how some of the anti-fans reacted to the announcement:
- "Coachella wasn't enough embarrassment for them."
- "Stop inviting [a group] who doesn't know how to sing in prestigious award [shows]."
And they are gonna kill it just like they did at Coachella! https://t.co/2rYF7wouRL
