Looking ahead, the group is set to further captivate audiences in Japan with their upcoming performance on Fuji TV's prestigious "2024 FNS Music Festival" next month. These appearances are expected to reinforce their status as international icons in the Japanese music scene.
Additionally, anticipation is building for the release of their third Japanese single, "Crazy," scheduled for December 11th. The pre-released track "Star Sign" has already gained significant traction, quickly climbing to the Top 5 of real-time charts on popular platforms like LINE Music and AWA upon its release.
LE SSERAFIM's year-end schedule is equally packed with significant events. For the third consecutive year, they have been invited to perform at NHK's iconic "75th Kouhaku Uta Gassen." On December 31st, they will close out 2024 with a highly anticipated performance at this event, further cementing their legacy in Japan.
The group's consistent achievements and expanding influence in Japan exemplify their ability to resonate with a diverse audience. LE SSERAFIM continues to set benchmarks in the global music industry, leaving fans and critics eager to see what lies ahead in their journey.
