Le Sserafim Dominates Music Shows With Post-Promotion Victory for ‘HOT’

Le Sserafim continues to ride high on the K-pop scene with their latest mini-album title track “HOT,” snatching another music show trophy and solidifying their unstoppable momentum.

On June 10, the five-member girl group—Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae—clinched first place on MBC “Show Music Core”, marking their triumphant takeover of all three major Korean network music programs.

This win follows previous victories on KBS 2TV “Music Bank” and SBS “Inkigayo”, earning Le Sserafim a 4th trophy for “HOT.” What’s even more impressive is that this win came after the group officially wrapped promotions for the track—proof of the song’s enduring impact nearly two months after its release.

On the June 10 broadcast, Le Sserafim outperformed other contenders with the highest score (5002 points) in both digital and album sales, reaffirming their chart power.

The group is currently on their “2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’ IN JAPAN.” Fresh off a successful two-day concert in Nagoya on June 6–7, Le Sserafim is set to perform in Osaka (June 13–14), Kitakyushu (June 7–8), and Saitama (June 12, 14–15).

Through their agency Source Music, Le Sserafim shared, “Receiving this win after our promotions ended feels like a wonderful gift. We’re deeply grateful for the continued love.”

The members added, “Our fans have always been our main source of energy. Thanks to their support, we’ll give our all for the rest of the world tour. We just marked our 3rd debut anniversary and hope to walk together with fans for 10, 30 years—or forever.”

“HOT” is a genre-blending pop track that incorporates rock and disco elements. It conveys a powerful message: even if the ending is unknown, they’ll burn brightly for what they love. The song showcases Le Sserafim’s emotional depth as they explore love through bold choreography and expressive lyrics—a new direction that resonated strongly with fans.
