K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM canceled their two-night concert in Bangkok as three of its members were diagnosed with Type A influenza. 

Source Music made the announcement on late Friday, October 6. The quintet was supposed to hold their FLAME RISES concert stop in Bangkok on October 7 and 8. 

According to the agency, members Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, and Kazuha visited the hospital on Friday due to sudden fever and headaches. “After a series of medical evaluations, they were diagnosed with Type A influenza,” the label revealed. 

Moreover, all those affected by the virus quickly underwent self-quarantine and are currently under medical supervision. 

Because of the members’ current well-being, Source Music decided to cancel the concert as it’s not feasible for LE SSERAFIM to perform. With this, they apologized to fans for the sudden development in the event. But they also requested for their understanding as the decision was made under guidance of health professionals and in consideration of the artists’ health. 

Furthermore, they also assured the ticket buyers that refunds for the show will be available. 

“We will continue to place the highest priority on the health and safety of our artists,” Source Music ended their statement.

LE SSERAFIM members pen message to fans 

Following the release of the statement, fans of LE SSERAFIM quickly took to social media to express their worry for the group. 

Many are wishing for their speedy recovery, while others are clamoring for the agency to prioritize the members’ resting period. 

On the group’s Weverse community, each LE SSERAFIM member penned a message to their fans to assure them of their condition. 

In Yunjin’s case, she wrote that “everything is okay.” “We are doing our best to get better as soon as possible,” she added. 

Moreover, she also apologized to fans who were excited for the show and expressed her sadness over the situation. “All five of us wanted to complete this tour by showing you guys only our best performances. So it’s truly such a shame that things ended up like this,” she wrote. 

Similar to Yunjin, Kazuha also wrote an apology for fans and promised that they’ll recover quickly. 

As for leader Chaewon, she also expressed her regret of not being able to see their fans in Thailand. Although she’s sad and upset, she promised that she will give them back with a better performance.

Watch: LE SSERAFIM Bonds With ‘The Debut: Dream Academy’ Contestants

While it’s only been a year since LE SSERAFIM’s debut, the quintet already proved that they are ready to be seniors of the next HYBE girl group formed through the reality series The  Debut: Dream Academy.

On Monday, October 2, the survival competition unveiled its latest episode, featuring the surprise visit of LE SSERAFIM.

At the start of the video, Chaewon, Yunjin, Sakura, Kazuha, and Eunchae appeared as undercover staff while the trainees filmed Tiktok content. After a few minutes, the trainees could not hide their astonishment upon seeing the idols reveal their faces. The girls were also surprised that Yunjin knew all of their names.

For the episode’s mission, the trainees were tasked to cover two of the girl group’s songs. Composed of four to five trainees each, two groups performed “ANTIFRAGILE” in front of the original singers. 

“Thank you for working on it so hard. I could feel the powerful energy,” Chaewon remarked. “Everyone’s facial expression was great. It was amazing,” the leader added.

Next, two more groups showcased their “FEARLESS” performances. “I could clearly see what moves you were showing,” Eunchae commented. Kazuha added that the contestants were able to show their charms, too.

LE SSERAFIM’s warm advice for the dreamers

After the performances, LE SSERAFIM and the trainees sat down for a little chit chat.

First, trainee Sophia voiced out her worries about maintaining friendship with the other trainees, despite knowing that not all of them are making it to the final debut lineup. Yunjin then advised them to do their best individually and still continue rooting for each other. “I think goodbyes are unfortunately inevitable but I think that is a part of growing,” she said.

On the other hand, one contestant asked how Kazuha is able to look good while dancing on stage. Kazuha then answered, “I think the most important thing is to enjoy the stage.” Additionally, the singer also advised them to expand their horizons by experiencing different genres of dance instead of focusing on just one.

Another contestant mentioned that she was experiencing a language barrier and wondered how the Japanese members Sakura and Kazuha overcame it. In response, Sakura said that language is not a big problem if the members have a connection with each other.

Bang PD visits ‘The Debut: Dream Academy’ too

Just while the girls were having a serious conversation, the trainees were caught off guard with another surprise visit from the HYBE Chairman himself, Bang Si Hyuk.

Bang PD first asked about the trainees’ trip to South Korea. Then, the trainees said that they enjoyed the Korean food and that they wished to visit Lotte World, which the producer generously granted.

Later on, trainee Karlee asked the producer about the most important thing to remember for aspiring artists. To which Bang PD provided a heartwarming answer.

“Before you become an artist, you should know what you really want to be,” he said. “From my perspective, you should love music itself, performing on stage, and making the fans happy.”

Ending on a good note, the trainees took a group photo with the LE SERRAFIM members and Bang PD.

aespa’s Karina and NingNing Joke About Overwhelming Comeback Schedule

Are aespa members struggling to deal with their overwhelming comeback schedule?

Karina and NingNing need your help! The aespa members have jokingly addressed their upcoming comeback and it sounds like the idols are not very happy about it. Not surprisingly, fans think that the joke undermines the truth about their overwhelming comeback schedule.

Karina and NingNing “Ask For Help” Due to aespa’s Overwhelming Comeback Schedule

In a special edition of this week’s “Eunchae’s Star Diary,” LE SSERAFIM member Hong Eunchae had a heartwarming reunion with Karina and Ningning. The “Music Bank” MC and the aespa members finally fulfilled their promised samgyeopsal date and a bit of catch-up.

The three talented K-Pop idols shared a delightful meal of grilled samgyeopsal, savoring the delicious flavors while engaging in a lively conversation about their ongoing world tours. During their time together, Hong Eunchae couldn’t help but notice the impressive scale of aespa’s world tour, which encompassed a more significant number of stops than LE SSERAFIM’s tour. Moreover, she highlighted the remarkable dedication of the girl group, who were simultaneously gearing up for a domestic comeback slated for November.

“You wrapped up your last comeback promotions around May or June, and you’ve been busy with your world tour all this time, but you were also preparing for your next comeback all at once. That sounds like a lot,” Eunchae said.

Without missing a beat, Karina nodded and looked at the camera to say, “Help.” Her fellow aespa member NingNing quickly joined the joke by saying, “Please, help us!”

It’s easy to see that Karina and NingNing are just joking but fans were also concerned about the idols having to deal with an overwhelming comeback schedule. Hopefully, aespa will be able to take a break after they release their new music.

The friendly gathering was a testament to the strong bonds that exist within the K-Pop industry, where artists from different groups come together to share their experiences and enjoy each other’s company. However, it also shed light on the hard work and commitment that go into global tours and domestic comebacks, offering fans a glimpse into these talented idols’ demanding yet rewarding lives.

Huh Yunjin of K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM couldn’t keep her fangirl feelings at bay as she interacted with jazz singer-songwriter Laufey. 

On X (formerly known as Twitter), a fan shared a brief exchange between the LE SSERAFIM member and a fan about Laufey’s music on the platform Werverse. 

“Yunjin, I would die if you’d cover a Laufey song,” the fan’s comment read. To which Yunjin replied that she’d love to do it. 

Initially, the exchange was well-received by fans alone. Some were even giving suggestions as to which Laufey song should Yunjin cover. 

However, fans online were surprised when Laufey herself took notice of the exchange. “Wait, what is happening,” the Icelandic vocalist said. 

Then, in another surprising development, Yunjin took the reins in explaining the situation using the official LE SSERAFIM account,“Hi. I’m Yunjin. I love you, I love you, I love you,” she wrote. 

In her response, Laufey also reciprocated the adoration presented by the K-pop star. “Yunjin, hi! I love you too, let’s sing together sometime,” she said. 

A Yunjin x Laufey collaboration?

Since the interaction between the two artists gained traction, both of their fans have expressed their hopes in seeing a possible collaboration. 

On social media, the fans are discussing how they’d like to hear a collaboration from two talented artists. Or, if it’s not new music, the fans are also eager for a chance of the two doing a cover of each other’s song, or featuring in remixes or new tracks. 

For those unfamiliar, Laufey is a 24-year-old Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter who rose to fame through Island Got Talent and The Voice Iceland. Also known as a jazz prodigy, the singer is famous for her songs that are of jazz tunes. She released her sophomore studio album Bewitched in September. 

Meanwhile, Yunjin has also explored doing solo music aside from just being a part of LE SSERAFIM. In 2023, she released her solo digital singles “I =/= DOLL,” “i love you twice,” and “blessing in disguise.”

Here’s to a collaboration we didn’t see coming!

This remix features a new second verse from Demi.

Demi’s verse continues with the lyrics: “A work of art / I’m coming to steal your heart / I’m taking charge / I told you from the start. You can’t believe / You’re falling in love with me / Don’t say I didn’t warn you, baby.”

The remix with Demi is LE SSERAFIM’s latest collaboration for their song “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife.”

Other artists who teamed up with the K-pop act for a remix includes Rina Sawayama, Upsahi, BIBI, Mirani, and Camo. 

“Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife” initially appeared in LE SSERAFIM’s Unforgiven album that was released in May. 

Despite being a B-track, the track easily became a fan-favorite that LE SSERAFIM released a full English version in July. 

Composed of Chaewon, Sakura, Yunjin, Kazuha, and Eunchae, LE SSERAFIM made their debut in July 2022.
