LE SSERAFIM Heo Yunjin recalled a recently difficult time.
On the 19th, from 5 p.m., the final day of the '2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'EASY CRAZY HOT' ENCORE IN TOKYO DOME' concert was held at Tokyo Dome in Japan. This concert was the encore of their first world tour, which began in April in Incheon and electrified Japan, Asia and North America through September.
That day Kim Chaewon took the stage for the encore and to the fans he said, "Did you enjoy it? I am really happy to be able to perform on stage in front of so many Piona. At this moment, after nearly finishing our performance on this stage that has been a dream for us, I feel like my childhood of hiding and singing and dancing is coming back to me. From then I cultivated my dream little by little and I want to tell and congratulate my past self who never gave up and kept going. You all have your own dreams, and even if you think your dream is absurd, don't worry about what others think and take one step at a time toward your dream. We will be with you."
She continued, "I want to say I am so, so grateful to my family, members, friends, Source Music family and Piona who have been by my side as I ran until now," and added, "You will keep staying with us, right? Today, thanks to Piona I was able to achieve one dream. I am really grateful. I will continue to do my best and work hard."
Meanwhile Heo Yunjin said, "I am really happy. Before the long-awaited shows yesterday and today there is a scene that I remember very clearly starting yesterday. In Saitama, before the announcement, we separately heard the news that we might be able to enter Tokyo Dome. Honestly it didn't feel real at all, but as soon as I heard it I cried a lot. There were many reasons for those tears, but do you perhaps know the joy when someone recognizes the value of something you had forgotten or rediscovers it? It could be the bright side of you you forgot because you were tired of life, a happy old memory, or a dream you became too embarrassed to talk about."
She said, "For me, who was going through a hard time, even if it didn't feel real it was a ray of hope. It felt like a comfort saying, it's okay to not be ashamed, your passion is valid, you can dream. No matter how hard it is, we'll overcome it, and imagining us in a very special place with Piona gave me strength. After spending time at various temperatures, the moment it finally felt real was yesterday when we performed 'HOT'," choking up.
She continued, "It felt like some kind of declaration to Piona. It felt like saying we have all overcome it and we are still hot, and we will be hot in the future. I believe there is something between Piona and us that connects us without words, and I think they felt the same yesterday and today. Thank you so, so much for bringing us this far. And I am very grateful to the staff who always put us before themselves and to the company members who make time for us when there is none."
Heo Yunjin said, "Even if our speeds are different, I want to tell the members who waited for and guided each other that you worked so hard, and thank you for sharing the same dream—let's dream bigger in the future," she said, shedding tears and hugging the members tightly. She added, "Today feels like the end of a movie since it's the last day at Tokyo Dome, but I truly see this as the beginning, a new chapter. I will become an artist I can never be ashamed of. Because Piona made me believe again that it's okay to dream, I will achieve the most wonderful dream and take you to a wonderful place. Thank you. I love you."
Meanwhile LE SSERAFIM began their '2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'EASY CRAZY HOT'' performances in a total of 19 cities starting in April at Incheon Inspire Arena, meeting global fans. They then held encore concerts at Tokyo Dome on Nov. 18 and 19, bringing the half-year tour to a close.
