HOT earns spotlight as LE SSERAFIM wins on major music show

HOT earned fresh recognition when LE SSERAFIM won first place on a major music show after promotions had ended. The group’s consistency across top programs and their Japan tour reflect deep support from fans. While many celebrated, Huh Yunjin’s injury left others concerned about her absence from upcoming shows.

HOT and music show victories prove steady popularity

LE SSERAFIM once again proved their strong presence in the K-pop scene by adding another music show win with HOT. On the May 10 broadcast of MBC’s Show! Music Core, LE SSERAFIM won first place with the track HOT. With this win, the group completed a rare grand slam. They secured trophies from all three major Korean music shows: KBS2’s Music Bank, SBS’s Inkigayo, and MBC’s Show! Music Core. Their total trophy count with HOT reached four, reflecting consistent public support.

Music show win after HOT promotions adds deeper meaning

What makes this win more significant is the timing. LE SSERAFIM earned first place even after the official promotion period for HOT ended. Nearly two months have passed since the release, yet the song’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. On that day, LE SSERAFIM received the highest combined score in both digital and album categories. Their final score of 5,002 points placed them well ahead of other nominees, confirming that HOT continues to resonate with fans.

Ongoing Japan tour brings LE SSERAFIM closer to fans

The group is currently touring Japan under the title 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’ IN JAPAN. On May 6 and 7, they successfully wrapped up two shows in Nagoya. Their tour will continue in Osaka on May 13 and 14, then in Kitakyushu on June 7 and 8. They will also perform in Saitama between June 12 and 15. Fans across Japan are responding enthusiastically, and the group seems energized by the warm support they’ve received so far.

Message of gratitude following music show win with HOT

After the Show! Music Core victory, LE SSERAFIM expressed sincere thanks through their agency, Source Music. They called the win a “gift-like” surprise and said they were touched by the ongoing support. The members shared that their biggest motivation is the fans who always stand by them. They promised to pour their hearts into the rest of the world tour and celebrate every stage with passion and joy. They also mentioned their third debut anniversary on May 2, pledging to stay with fans for decades to come.

HOT explores bold emotions with fresh musical style

The track HOT carries a strong message about throwing yourself into what you love, even without knowing the final outcome. Musically, it blends rock and disco within a pop framework, setting a distinct tone compared to the group’s earlier title tracks. This time, LE SSERAFIM went beyond powerful choreography and confident messaging. Through HOT, they explored a wider emotional spectrum, focusing on love and its complexity. Their approach received praise from fans who appreciated the more expressive and layered performance.

Korean community reacts to HOT and music show win

The unexpected win stirred reactions on Korean forums like MLBPARK. Many fans didn’t expect a trophy since HOT promotions had already ended. Some users expressed surprise, but also delight, saying that the song’s quality alone helped it endure. One fan said, “When a song is good, it naturally survives longer on music shows.” While a few critics continued to question their live singing skills, fans quickly defended the group. They pointed out that LE SSERAFIM’s encore stages have been so stable that no controversy could stick.

Concerns over Huh Yunjin’s absence from tour performances

Despite the excitement, fans remain concerned about Huh Yunjin’s health. She is currently taking a break due to a back injury. She was unable to participate in the recent Nagoya concerts, and there has been no update regarding her involvement in the upcoming Osaka, Kitakyushu, and Saitama shows. Many fans are hoping for her speedy recovery and are eager to see her return to the stage in good health. Her presence is deeply missed, and fans continue to send messages of support and encouragement.
