LE SSERAFIM
The group LE SSERAFIM became the first Kpop girl group to perform live at the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve event. On this stage at the world’s biggest New Year’s celebration in the United States, they demonstrated their status as “top representatives of 4th-generation girl groups.”
On December 31 (local time), the show “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026” (hereafter New Year’s Rockin’ Eve) took place in Times Square, New York. LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) became the first Kpop girl group to engage with the audience in person, asserting their global influence through the final hours of 2025.
That day, to celebrate the Year of the Red Horse, the group wore outfits with touches of red to enhance their intensity. Amid the audience’s cheers, they performed the lead track from their first single, “Spaghetti (Member ver.),” as well as a song from their fourth mini-album, “Crazy.” With highly catchy tracks, the crowd was swept up in the performance. The five members captivated the audience with expressive faces and impressive stage presence, filling the space with intense energy. “Crazy” had already been a highlight during the group’s first world tour, “2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT,’” as a song that encouraged audience participation. This was evident from the musical intro, which triggered massive applause and cheers. The striking dance segments left a strong impression on viewers worldwide.
LE SSERAFIM shared in an interview with host Ryan Seacrest:
“It’s a dream to welcome the New Year in New York with the members. We sincerely thank everyone who was here and watching. I especially want to thank FEARNOT, our fandom. It’s an honor to be on this stage.”
Additionally, Times Square posted on its official social media a photo from the concert with the caption “A ‘Perfect Night’ with LE SSERAFIM.” “Perfect Night” is a track released by LE SSERAFIM in 2023.
After ending the year on a high note, expectations are high for LE SSERAFIM’s activities in 2026. The group will hold encore concerts from December 31 to February 1 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. Both shows sold out, and the recently released additional seats with restricted visibility were sold in just ten minutes, demonstrating the group’s strong popularity.
