LE SSERAFIM Performs DIFFERENT on Korean Music Shows
LE SSERAFIM recently wrapped up a successful round of surprise music show appearances in Korea. Starting with Mnet’s M Countdown on July 3, they performed the English version of their Japanese single “DIFFERENT” on KBS2’s Music Bank and SBS’s Inkigayo. The group—Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae—brought a new energy to the Korean stage through this short but impactful promotion.
Special Stage Honors FEARNOT’s Wish
During an interview with the show’s MCs, the members explained their reason for returning to the stage. “Many FEARNOTs wanted to see our Japanese song performed in Korea,” they said. “We were able to make this happen thanks to their love. We’re truly happy to be here.” They added playfully, “Once you taste it, you’ll never forget it—please look forward to it!”
DIFFERENT Highlights LE SSERAFIM Visuals and Choreography
Each performance showcased distinct styles, from military-inspired outfits to oversized shirts and denim accents. The group drew attention with polished visuals, confident stage presence, and synchronized choreography. Their performance video on Mnet K-POP’s YouTube channel surpassed 340,000 views as of 6 a.m. on July 7. Despite being a limited promotion, the response showed how strong their popularity remains.
DIFFERENT by LE SSERAFIM Charts High in Japan and Worldwide
LE SSERAFIM’s fourth Japanese single “DIFFERENT” ranked No. 1 on Oricon’s daily single chart for June 23. The group sold 132,732 copies in the first week, earning second place on both the weekly and combined single charts. The title track has enjoyed steady success, appearing on Spotify Japan’s Daily Top Songs for 26 consecutive days. It also ranked No. 2 on Billboard Japan’s Hot 100 (June 23–29), marking their best result yet for a Japanese original track.
Kawaii MV Showcases Global Appeal and Collaboration
At midnight on July 9, LE SSERAFIM will release the music video for “Kawaii (Prod. Gen Hoshino),” a B-side track from the same single. Produced by renowned Japanese artist Gen Hoshino, the song also features English lyrics written by Huh Yunjin. “Kawaii” serves as the theme for the Netflix series My Melody & Kuromi. Reflecting the animated world of the show, the track aims to captivate a global audience.
BLACKPINK Concert Experience Draws Attention Online
Before their music show comeback, LE SSERAFIM attended a BLACKPINK concert, which became a hot topic on the Korean forum MLBPARK. Hong Eunchae shared how much fun she had, dancing and singing with the members until they were drenched in sweat. She said she knew every BLACKPINK song and sang along so much that she lost her voice. Kazuha also said she felt deeply moved and happy to attend the concert with her groupmates. MLBPARK users joked that Hong Eunchae might have worked harder than BLACKPINK that night. Since she had to report to the music show the next morning, fans laughed, saying she probably collapsed after the long day.
