[OSENWORLD] LE SSERAFIM are in the American spotlight, making waves from Major League Baseball to prime-time television and even New York’s most iconic landmark.
On September 9, members Sakura and Hong Eunchae visited Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, where they met Korean player Kim Hye-seong and Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Dodgers’ official social media accounts shared clips of the idols exchanging gifts and autographs with the athletes, in a gesture that highlighted just how warmly the group was embraced at the ballpark.
The following day, NBC’s hit show America’s Got Talent featured all five members — Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae. Host Terry Crews introduced them as “K-pop superstars” and “global headliners.” The group performed their fifth mini album title track HOT before launching into their breakout hit ANTIFRAGILE. Their precision choreography and high-octane energy brought the audience to its feet, with fans joining in loud singalongs. They closed with a heartfelt message of encouragement to contestants and dreamers alike.
Meanwhile, the Empire State Building in New York joined the celebration, sharing photos from the group’s 2024 visit, when the building was illuminated in LE SSERAFIM’s official colors to celebrate the release of their fourth mini album CRAZY.
LE SSERAFIM are now preparing to kick off their first North American tour, with all six shows sold out: Inglewood (Sept. 13), San Francisco (Sept. 15), Seattle (Sept. 18), Las Vegas (Sept. 21), and Mexico City (Sept. 24). After wrapping the tour, they will return in October with a new single — their first release in seven months since the Bang Si-hyuk–produced fifth mini album.
