K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is returning with new music titled “Perfect Night.”

Source Music announced that “Perfect Night” will serve as the group’s first English-language single. 

Previously, the quintet’s only all-English track was the hit song “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife.”

Despite being a B-track from the group’s Unforgiven album, it easily became a fan-favorite. Not only did LE SSERAFIM have to release a full English version of it, but it also spawned remixes with international stars such as Rina Sawayama, Upsahi, BIBI, Mirani, Camo, and Demi Lovato. 

While its success might be hard to follow through, LE SSERAFIM appears to be ready to take on the challenge. And their fans are already anticipating the upcoming single as it’s the group’s first release in five months. 

What we know about ‘Perfect Night’

In a press release, Source Music announced that ‘Perfect Night’ will “send an energetic message that even a not-so-perfect day can be fun when you spend it with your crew.”

Prior to the confirmation of the single, LE SSERAFIM also released a cryptic teaser for the track. There, a pink convertible is seen speeding along a race track. Then, the phrase “Tonight, I don’t care what’s wrong or right” appeared onscreen. 

On Monday, October 15, the “ANTI-FRAGILE” singers released the first set of individual and group photos for ‘Perfect Night.’ 

Similar to the vibes of the video teaser, the LE SSERAFIM members mixed sporty and futuristic themes in the photos. Overall, the pictures followed a neon pink, blue, and silver scheme. 

 

Meanwhile, track samplers and music video teasers will be available to the fans before the track’s official release on October 27. 

‘Perfect Night’ comes after LE SSERAFIM was supposed to wrap up their first concert tour FLAME RISES. However, their Bangkok show had to be canceled as three members were diagnosed with Type A influenza. 

In other news, LE SSERAFIM was also recently chosen as brand ambassadors for the fashion luxury house Louis Vuitton. Interestingly, they’re the first K-pop girl group to be tapped as a full act by the brand.

K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is about to make waves in the fashion industry as luxury house Louis Vuitton tapped them as their newest brand ambassador. 

On Friday, October 13, the brand unveiled a new campaign featuring all five LE SSERAFIM members: Kim Chaewon, Hong Eunchae, Sakura, Kazuha, and Huh Yunjin. 

In the debut campaign video, the quintet are seen flaunting the brand’s latest capsule collection while walking across the iconic bridge of the Hangang River. 

Aside from the short fashion film, Louis Vuitton also released individual and group photos of the group. 

According to L’Officiel, the capsule collection that the LE SSERAFIM members are modeling features exclusive redesigns of iconic Louis Vuitton pieces. 

Additionally, the collection will reportedly have a total of 16 bags that are exclusive to South Korea. Meanwhile, another eight designs will be rolled out worldwide to a later date. 

Prior to being named brand ambassador, LE SSERAFIM previously performed at Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2023 after-party show in April. 

In a press release, Nicolas Ghesquière, artistic director of women’s collection at Louis Vuitton, expressed his excitement in having the group onboard. 

“We met for the first time at my pre-fall show in Seoul and I really loved the energy they brought to the after party with their performance. They each have such a unique style that together feels very cool and authentic,” he said, 

Fans’ happiness for LE SSERAFIM 

Following the news, FEARNOTs couldn’t help but congratulate “Anti-Fragile” singers for the achievement. 

Since all of LE SSERAFIM were tapped as ambassadors, they became the first K-pop girl group to be tapped by Louis Vuitton. And the second overall, as they will be following in the footsteps of their HYBE Labels seniors BTS. To recall, all members of BTS served as Louis Vuitton ambassadors from 2021 to 2022. 

For their fans, the milestone is even more commendable as the group achieved it within a year and a half since their debut. Initially a six-member group, LE SSERAFIM made their debut under Source Music in May 2022. In July 2022, Kim Garam left the group. 

Given this recent development, LE SSERAFIM is joining the likes of other K-pop idols who are also under Louis Vuitton. Among in the list are Stray Kids’ Felix, BTS’ j-hope, Jackson Wang, and NewJeans’ Hyein. 

As for other K-pop idols serving as ambassadors for fashion brands, the list includes BTS’ V for Cartier, TWICE’s Dahyun for Michael Kors, TWICE’s Sana for Prada, SEVENTEEN’s DK for Bally.

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.

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.”
