The group LE SSERAFIM showed their enduring popularity by clinching the music broadcast first place trophy after officially concluding their activities for 'HOT.'
On the broadcast of SBS 'Inkigayo' on the 20th, the title track 'HOT' from LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Heo Yun-jin, Kazuha, Hong Eun-chae) ranked first. This was determined by combining scores from album sales, social media, audience pre-vote, on-air scores, real-time voting, and online music scores. 'HOT' topped the charts a month after its release, maintaining its long-lasting success.
In particular, LE SSERAFIM learned this news during their performance for '2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR 'EASY CRAZY HOT' IN INCHEON' held the same day. They could not hide their joy, hugging each other in celebration and expressing their gratitude to the fans.
The title track 'HOT' is performing strongly on major domestic music sites. Since its release date (March 14), Melon and Genie have climbed up to ranks 12th and 25th, with increases of 69 and 80 places, respectively. Particularly, on Bugs, it placed 3rd as of April 3. Additionally, on Spotify’s Korean 'Daily Top Song' chart, it maintained the 2nd spot for six days, trailing BTS's Jimin from March 19 to 24.
The mini album has shown strong performance in the record market. In its first week of release, LE SSERAFIM ranked 9th on Billboard's main album chart 'Billboard 200,' becoming the only fourth generation K-pop girl group to place four consecutive albums in the top 10 of that chart.
After successfully concluding their concerts in Incheon on the 19th and 20th, LE SSERAFIM will continue to meet audiences in nine cities including Nagoya on May 6-7, Osaka on 13-14, Kitakyushu on June 7-8, Saitama on 12th and 14-15th, Taipei on July 19, Hong Kong on the 26th, Manila on August 2, and Bangkok on 9-10, and Singapore on the 16th.
