The girl group LE SSERAFIM has captured fans’ attention with the announcement that they will appear on Japan’s representative year-end broadcast program, ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen,’ for the third time. On November 19, Japan’s NHK announced that LE SSERAFIM will perform at the 75th Kohaku Uta Gassen, set to take place on December 31. This program, which airs annually at the end of the year, is known for its overwhelming presence in viewership ratings and buzz, making an appearance a significant indicator of popularity.
LE SSERAFIM began their first appearance in 2022 and has consistently proven their influence in Japan. They were notably recognized as an exceptional case for performing on ‘Kohaku Uta Gassen’ without a debut in Japan. In 2023, they set a new record for first-week sales of a K-pop girl group’s debut single in Japan with ‘FEARLESS,’ once again taking the stage.
This year, both mini-albums ‘EASY’ and ‘CRAZY,’ released in Korea, topped the Oricon ‘Daily Album Ranking,’ with each album receiving the Gold Disc ‘Gold’ certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan. Additionally, they attracted 80,000 spectators during their fan meeting tour ‘LE SSERAFIM FAN MEETING ‘FEARNADA’ 2024 S/S – JAPAN’ held in Japan in June and July, further proving their popularity.
With the upcoming release of their third Japanese single ‘CRAZY’ on December 11, local fans’ anticipation is soaring.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM continues to actively participate in global stages, appearing in overseas year-end specials and award ceremonies. They have performed solo stages and received honors at the ‘2024 MTV Video Music Awards’ in the United States and the ‘2024 MTV Europe Music Awards’ in Europe. Expectations are high for how LE SSERAFIM’s global journey will unfold.
