LE SSERAFIM has clinched the No. 1 trophy on a music show after concluding official activities.
On the broadcast of SBS 'Inkigayo' on 6th, LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Heo Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) took first place with their mini album's title track 'HOT.' This was based on a combination of album sales, social media, viewer pre-voting, on-air scores, real-time voting, and online music scores, proving that LE SSERAFIM's popularity remains undiminished even after their activities ended.
LE SSERAFIM expressed through their agency Source Music, "While doing activities for 'HOT,' we gained a lot of strength from the fans' enthusiastic support, and we are really happy and grateful to receive continuous love even after the end of this period. Just like the message of the song, 'Even if we may not know the ending, we will burn everything for what we love,' we will work hard for everyone who supports us. We will put our best effort into preparing for the upcoming world tour, and we aim to always be a proud LE SSERAFIM."
The title track 'HOT' entered the iTunes 'Top Song' chart in 27 countries/regions, including Japan, the U.S., and Hong Kong, at the time of its release. In the Daily Top Song chart on Spotify Korea (as of 1st), it recorded a high rank of No. 3, following BTS solo tracks. The daily chart performance on major domestic music sites continues to rise, with Melon and Genie daily chart rankings climbing to No. 15 and No. 31 (as of 5th), respectively, compared to their release date (March 14). Notably, it ranked No. 3 on Bugs (as of 3rd).
Earlier, LE SSERAFIM achieved remarkable records with their mini album. It topped the latest weekly album charts of Hanteo Chart (aggregate period: March 10-16) and Circle Chart (aggregate period: March 9-15), as well as the daily album rankings on the Oricon chart in Japan (as of March 15) and the weekly digital album rankings (aggregate period: March 10-16). Notably, it secured the 9th spot on the Billboard 200, making them the only fourth-generation K-pop girl group to have four albums consecutively enter the top 10 of that chart.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM will embark on their first world tour, '2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'EASY CRAZY HOT',' starting with a performance in Incheon on the 19th-20th.
