Le Sserafim begins first world tour with powerful statement of growth
From controversy to confidence, group opens a new chapter with 'Easy Crazy Hot'
After a difficult year marred by criticism of its live singing, girl group Le Sserafim kicked off its first world tour with an all-out, two-day show.
On Saturday and Sunday, Le Sserafim held its first world tour, 'Easy Crazy Hot,' at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the group.
Opening the show with 'Ash,' Le Sserafim quickly amped up the energy with performances of its latest main track 'Hot' and the B-side 'Come Over.'
The tour title, 'Easy Crazy Hot,' is a combination of the names of the mini albums the group released sequentially from February 2024 to March 2025: 'Easy,' 'Crazy' and 'Hot.' The group reflected on its journey by weaving together songs from all three albums. When they delivered a rock version of 'Easy' and a 'Crazy' stage with an added dance break, fans responded with even louder cheers.
Throughout the show, all five members showcased noticeably improved and stable vocals, a clear step up from their controversial Coachella performance last year. Whenever they hit clean high notes while executing intense dance moves, the crowd erupted in even louder cheers.
The members also delivered visually striking performances. All five climbed jungle gym-shaped stage structures, performing powerfully amid fire, laser and smoke effects that matched the mood of each song.
Toward the end of the concert, Le Sserafim performed band versions of its best-known tracks 'Fearless,' 'Unforgiven' and 'Antifragile,' drawing awe and applause from fans.
During the encore, the members expressed their gratitude to fans and indirectly addressed the criticism surrounding the group's performance skills over the past year.
Huh Yun-jin shared, 'Around this time last year, I was in my hotel room crying on the phone with someone from the company, saying, 'What are we going to do? Is there even a future for us? I don't know what's real and what's fake anymore.'' She opened up about the emotional toll of that period.
That time coincides with Le Sserafim's performance at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which drew harsh criticisms for a perceived lack of live vocal skills.
However, Huh said she used those experiences as fuel for personal growth. 'Do you know how pearls are made? An irritant enters a shell, and after enduring immense pain, it produces a pearl. I believed that if this pain was that intense, then a pearl would come out of it. I made a vow — to never lose my love through hard times and hate — and to protect our fans no matter what,' she said, drawing applause.
Youngest member Hong Eun-chae added, 'The road we walk together won't always be lined with flowers. Just like in our lyrics, there will be thorny paths too — and that's what makes the flower-filled ones even more beautiful.'
Le Sserafim is now set to embark on its first world tour since its 2022 debut, beginning with the Incheon concerts. The group will visit four cities in Japan, including Nagoya and Osaka, as well as Taipei, Hong Kong and Manila, with performances in North America scheduled for September.

G-Dragon, Le Sserafim, Babymonster push on with overseas concerts amid COVID-19 surge in Asia
K-pop companies refrain from cancellations as no official restrictions are in place Despite the recent surge in the number of COVID-19 cases across parts of Asia, K-pop stars, including G-Dragon, Le Sserafim and Babymonster, are pressing ahead with their overseas concerts. According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) on Monday, countries including China, Thailand and Singapore have recently reported a notable increase in COVID-19 cases. While the situation in Korea remains relatively stable, the agency warned that a summer resurgence is possible due to international travel and regional outbreaks. The NB.1.8.1 variant — now dominant in the affected countries — is known for its strong transmissibility and immune-evasive properties, although its severity and fatality rate remain relatively low. The KDCA is advising high-risk travelers to these countries to get vaccinated before departure. G-Dragon of Big Bang is currently on his 'Ubermensch' world tour, performing across nine Asian cities including Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong and Bangkok as well as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia. He is slated to perform in Macao for three concerts starting June 7. Asked whether shows in Southeast Asia might be canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, his agency Galaxy Corporation told The Korea Herald, 'We don't know at this point.' G-Dragon recently called off his "G-Dragon Media Exhibition: Ubermensch" in Shanghai, which was originally scheduled to run from May 30 to June 22. While the agency cited 'unforeseen circumstances beyond our control' as the reason for the cancellation, the uptick in COVID-19 cases in China is widely suspected as a contributing factor. Babymonster, also on an Asia tour, wrapped up its 'Hello Monsters' concerts in Singapore and Hong Kong in May and is preparing for its final Southeast Asian stop in Bangkok from June 7-8. YG Entertainment confirmed it has no plans to postpone or cancel the shows. 'We're monitoring the situation closely, but the outbreak is limited to certain regions. Everything is proceeding as planned,' a YG official told The Korea Herald on Wednesday. Le Sserafim is scheduled to perform in Taiwan and Hong Kong in July, followed by concerts in the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore in August as part of its 'Easy Crazy Hot' world tour. Source Music's parent company, Hybe, also confirmed that all shows will proceed as scheduled. JYP Entertainment's acts — Niziu, Nmixx and Xdinary Heroes — are also expected to hold small-scale performances in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, respectively, in the second half of the year, with no changes announced. An industry official noted that unless governments issue specific warnings or event restrictions, K-pop agencies are unlikely to take unilateral action regarding concert postponements. 'There aren't any government guidelines like we saw during the height of the pandemic, so it's hard for companies to take preemptive action on their own,' one agency source said. Another industry official echoed the sentiment: 'Without national-level advisories, it's difficult for agencies to make those decisions independently.'

The mini album of the same title sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week, a first-ever for a K-pop girl group, and went on to notch the No. 1 spot on Oricon's Daily Album Ranking. The quintet is in the middle of its first international tour and will go live in Kitakyushu, Japan, this weekend.

K-pop groups fade from charts — are solo artists the new trend?
Rise of solo artists reflects shifting tastes, diversified platforms and the waning impact of idol group comebacks The Korean music scene is undergoing a notable shift. Once dominated by idol groups, the nation's top streaming charts are now increasingly led by solo artists — signaling changing tastes, industry dynamics and the evolving behaviors of K-pop consumers. As of Tuesday, girl group aespa was the only idol act ranked in the top 10 of Melon, Korea's largest music streaming service. The monthly Melon chart for May showed aespa, Ive, and BoyNextDoor placing at No. 7, No. 9, and No. 10, respectively. In stark contrast, last May's chart was packed with K-pop groups: Illit landed at No. 2, followed by Ive, I-dle, QWER, TWS, aespa and Babymonster — collectively occupying seven of the top 10 spots. A similar pattern emerged on the April digital chart released by Circle Chart, run by the Korea Music Content Association. That month's top 10 included soloists G-Dragon, Jennie, Woodz, Zo Zazz, Hwang Garam and Rose. Only aespa's 'Supernova,' Ive's 'Heya' and Le Sserafim's 'Hot' represented idol groups. On the latest weekly chart, just three groups — aespa, BoyNextDoor and Riize — managed to stay in the top 10. Comebacks fall flat: A lack of impact from new idol songs Despite the sheer number of group comebacks this year, many new releases have failed to leave a lasting impression. NCT Wish, Le Sserafim, TWS, BoyNextDoor, Hearts2Hearts and Kiiikiii are among the teams that either returned or debuted in the first half of 2025. Yet few managed to maintain a stable presence on the charts. 'Frankly, K-pop groups aren't doing well right now,' said music critic Lim Hee-yun on Tuesday. 'Of course, artists like IU are consistently strong, and soloists like Woodz, Hwang Garam and Zo Zazz have made impressive rebounds or gradually built momentum with ballads. But when it comes to idol groups, there haven't been many new songs that truly capture the public's attention.' Many soloists dominating the local charts are former members of mega-popular groups such as Big Bang and Blackpink, whose brand recognition, fan bases and individual artistry contribute to their strong performance. Big Bang's G-Dragon, for instance, ranked No. 1 in Circle Chart's April 'Digital Top 400 Artist Index,' securing 12 songs in the top 400 and accounting for a 5.5 percent share of the entire chart. A format built for focus: Solo tracks resonate in the streaming age Lim believes part of the shift is rooted in the musical format itself. Idol music, often designed around choreographed performances and rap-heavy breaks, can be thrilling on stage but less appealing for passive listening. 'K-pop idol songs can be fun and dynamic with raps and powerful choreography. But as listening experiences, they're often less cohesive,' he said. 'Even if a group has strong vocalists, it can be jarring when a weaker member jumps in with a rap verse mid-song. Solo tracks, in contrast, are built around a single vocal tone and emotional arc — making them more immersive for listeners.' Lim also noted that K-pop fan behavior has changed. Younger fans, in particular, have drifted away from traditional streaming platforms. 'K-pop fans once played a central role in boosting their favorite groups on domestic charts. Now, with so many platforms — social media, fandom apps, exclusive content — their efforts are more spread out. Idol groups no longer dominate the charts like they used to,' he said. jaaykim@
