• LE SSERAFIM to Launch 'FIM'S CLUB' Characters on October 29

    LE SSERAFIM is gearing up to launch their first official character series, 'FIM'S CLUB,' on October 29! The group, consisting of Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae, introduced these adorable characters through a video posted on their official social media on October 21.

    The five characters—Kim Achi (Kim Chaewon), Sakkukku (Sakura), Heurimong (Huh Yunjin), Zhaharong (Kazuha), and Hong Pippi (Hong Eunchae)—each have their own unique charm. Kim Achi is a baby cheetah who dreams of being a cool trendsetter. Sakkukku is a cat who loves diving into different hobbies. Heurimong is a ghost who finds inspiration in books and music. Zhaharong stays positive no matter what, while Hong Pippi is the brave leader of 'FIM'S CLUB,' though she sometimes becomes an emotional little chick.

    'FIM'S CLUB' was created with FEARNOT, LE SSERAFIM's fans, in mind, acting as a cute and comforting presence for them. The tagline "Join FIM'S CLUB!" captures the fun and friendly spirit of these characters.

    What's really special is that LE SSERAFIM members were heavily involved in creating the characters, including their looks, names, and personalities. These characters actually started as sketches the members drew last year in their self-produced series 'LENIVERSE,' which got fans excited because they reflect the members' real selves. Now, fans can finally see the official version of 'FIM'S CLUB,' and with the cute designs inspired by animals and ghosts, there's no doubt FEARNOTs will love collecting them!

    Starting with the character introduction video, LE SSERAFIM has more fun content planned for fans. Plus, 'FIM'S CLUB' merchandise will be available from October 29, so fans can get their hands on some adorable goodies.

    In other news, LE SSERAFIM has been nominated in three categories at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards: ‘Best Push,’ ‘Best New,’ and ‘Best K-Pop,’ proving their global influence.
