LE SSERAFIM will appear on the largest New Year’s live show in the United States. As the only K-pop artist to join the lineup this year, the group is proving its strong local popularity.
On the 2nd (local time), ABC’s ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026’ (hereafter, ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’) announced on its official social media that LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) will appear.
‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ is the United States’ largest New Year’s program that brings viewers around the world together from the evening of December 31 through New Year’s Day. It offers a variety of attractions, including performances by artists who have shown the year’s best. This year’s lineup boasts LE SSERAFIM, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, Chappell Roan, and more.
LE SSERAFIM is set to perform the title track ‘CRAZY’ from their fourth mini album and the title track ‘SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS)’ from their first single album in New York’s Times Square. Released in August last year, ‘CRAZY’ was popular enough to enter the U.S. Billboard main songs chart, the ‘Hot 100’. Included in the setlist of this year’s world tour, ‘2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’’, the track spread by word of mouth as a ‘sing-along-inducing song’, once again setting social media abuzz. Released on October 24, ‘SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS)’ garnered great attention for its ‘listening pleasure’ thanks to an addictive melody and the quintet’s performance brimming with ‘viewing pleasure’. With this song, LE SSERAFIM renewed the group’s best records on the world’s two major pop charts, hitting a ‘career high’ on Billboard’s ‘Hot 100’ (No. 50) and the UK ‘Official Singles Top 100’ (No. 46).
LE SSERAFIM grew rapidly in the U.S. music market this year. On their North American tour that ran through September, they sold out shows in seven citiesNewark, Chicago, Grand Prairie, Inglewood, San Francisco, Seattle, and Las Vegasshowcasing an expanded fandom. In addition, being invited to the hottest local New Year’s program has solidified their position as the ‘top fourth-generation girl group’.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM will continue their global schedule across Korea, the United States, and Japan over the year-end and New Year period. Starting with the ‘10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025’ in Taiwan on the 6th, they will appear at KBS’s ‘2025 Song Festival Global Festival’ on the 19th, the ‘2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon’ on the 25th, and Japan’s major year-end festival ‘COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26’ on the 28th.
