Hong Eunchae of LE SSERAFIM has issued an apology for a mistake made during a live broadcast.

On August 29, LE SSERAFIM held a showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate their fourth mini-album, "CRAZY."

Hong Eunchae addressed the controversy surrounding a past live broadcast slip-up where she made an insensitive comment to a high school senior fan.

During the live stream, she said, "You're in school, right? It must be tough for you," which was criticized as thoughtless.

Hong Eunchae admitted, "I was too relaxed thinking it was just a communication opportunity with fans. I should have been more careful, especially with people I’m close to. I didn’t think deeply about it."

She added, "I’m sorry for disappointing you with my immature behavior. I will work on being more cautious and responsible."

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM's new mini-album "CRAZY" is out on August 30. The album's message is "Let’s just go crazy with LE SSERAFIM," and it’s their first release in six months since their third mini-album "EASY" in February.

The title track "CRAZY" captures the excitement of meeting something that drives you wild. It connects with the thrill of experiencing exhilarating moments.

The album features five tracks: "Chasing Lightning," "Pierrot," "1-800-Hot-N-Fun," and "Reasons for Not Going Crazy."

"Chasing Lightning" was partially featured in the album trailer released on the 13th. "Pierrot" is a hip-hop track that samples Kim Wan Sun's "Pierrot Laughs at Us," blending old and new elements.

"1-800-Hot-N-Fun" was previewed during fan meetings in Japan and features contributions from producer BloodPop, known for his work with Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé. The final track, "Reasons for Not Going Crazy," credits member Huh Yunjin as the main producer.

"CRAZY" will drop on August 30th at 1 PM.

Kwon Eun Bi is living the dream — solo success, tons of ads, and now… a building under her name!

On April 21, a new episode was uploaded on the Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk YouTube channel.

In the video, Kwon Eun Bi opened up about her viral Waterbomb moment, her career boost, and her big investment move.

The former IZ*ONE member confidently said, “Is there a Waterbomb goddess I feel competitive with? Honestly, not even one. I don’t care. Aren’t I the best?” Eunhyuk backed her up, saying, “The original has a different level. I can’t argue with that.”

Eun Bi also talked about how nervous she was at the time. “That was my first festival in Seoul. I was alone on such a big stage, and I was so nervous. You never know when success will hit. I didn’t think that performance would blow up,” she said.

Surprisingly, she didn’t feel the buzz while performing. “I was on stage around 1 PM, and there were still lots of empty seats. I kept thinking, ‘Is this okay? What if it goes badly?’ But when I got home, the reaction just exploded. I was shocked!”

Eunhyuk asked, “You must’ve gotten a lot of ads after that, right?” She replied with a smile, “Yes, I did a lot of ads after Waterbomb.” KCM chimed in and teased, “You even bought a building with all that money!”

Eun Bi laughed and admitted, “I was already making money before, but after Waterbomb, the income ratio felt like 3 to 7. I got tons of commercial deals and events. And since I’m working alone now, I don’t need to share my income with group members, so that helped a lot.”

Netizens are cheering her on, calling her a true queen of the solo era — with business smarts to match her talent!
