LE SSERAFIM added a unique record among fourth-generation K-pop girl groups on Billboard in the United States.

According to an official article from the American music media Billboard on the 23rd (local time), LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Heo Yoon-jin, Kazuha, Hong Eun-chae) entered the main album chart 'Billboard 200' at No. 9 with their fifth mini album 'HOT' (as of March 29). 'HOT' recorded 38,500 in album sales and 7,000 in SEA units (sales converted from streaming count).

With this, LE SSERAFIM became the only fourth-generation K-pop girl group to have four albums consecutively enter the top 10 of that chart. Their first studio album 'UNFORGIVEN', mini album 3 'EASY', and mini album 4 'CRAZY' were ranked 6th, 8th, and 7th, respectively. The mini album 2 'ANTIFRAGILE' released in 2022 entered the 'Billboard 200' at No. 14, setting the record for the shortest time charting for a Korean girl group after debut.

LE SSERAFIM is showing a shining presence on various global charts with their new release. The weekly album chart from Hanteo Chart (period of March 10-16) and the 11th week album chart from Circle Chart (period of March 9-15) both topped the charts.

The title track of the same name is also receiving love both domestically and internationally. It has shown a steady upward trend on daily charts of major music sites like Melon, Bugs, and Genie, achieving the highest ranking of No. 3 on the Apple Music Korea 'Top 100' for the date of the 20th. On the world's largest music streaming platform, Spotify, it was streamed 10,235,591 times over the past week (period of March 14-20), boasting the highest number of streams among K-pop group songs this week. It also entered the 'Weekly Top Song Global' at No. 146, proving its hot popularity.

LE SSERAFIM will hold their first world tour '2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'EASY CRAZY HOT'' starting with a performance in Incheon in April. This will be the finale of their trilogy project, continuing from mini album 3 'EASY' to mini album 4 'CRAZY' and to the new release 'HOT'. The message of 'Let's enjoy this moment together with LE SSERAFIM, hot and fun' will meet fans around the world.
