LE SSERAFIM is turning up the heat with their new album HOT!

On February 27 at midnight KST, LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae) dropped new concept photos and videos for the compact version of their upcoming fifth mini-album HOT.

The visuals continue the theme from their Born Fire trailer, where the members transformed from beautiful statues into fierce, free-spirited individuals.

The new teaser video kicks off with Hong Eunchae strutting confidently, followed by each member showing off their unique presence.

The clip ends with the group standing boldly in front of a giant cat wheel, leaving fans curious about its meaning.

The members flaunt two contrasting styles in their solo photos. Dressed in pristine white, they resemble statues in an art gallery, while their bold black outfits highlight their strong, confident sides.

• Kim Chaewon looks like a doll sitting gracefully on a sofa, holding a pamphlet with the words EASY, CRAZY, and HOT. In her black look, she exudes charisma while sitting atop a cat wheel.
• Sakura switches from an innocent, soft look with long flowing hair to a captivating feline-like charm with smoky makeup.
• Kazuha impresses with her ballerina-like elegance before transforming into a chic, urban goddess with a sleek high ponytail.
• Huh Yunjin keeps fans on edge with dynamic poses, whether in a quiet art gallery or a mysterious tunnel.
• Hong Eunchae stuns with her ability to rock both long black hair and a striking golden bob, proving her versatility.

LE SSERAFIM has already unveiled four unique visual themes for HOT: TANNED GUAIAC, DRENCHED VETIVER, BLEACHED AURA, and now the compact album version. Fans can expect more teasers soon, including a track sampler (March 3), tracklist (March 4), and highlight medley (March 7).

Meanwhile, the group continues to make waves in Japan! Their hit song CRAZY from August 2023 just earned a ‘Gold’ certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for surpassing 50 million streams.

With all eyes on them, LE SSERAFIM is set to drop HOT on March 14 at 1 PM KST. Are you ready for the fire?

YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has been ordered to stop making videos about the late actress Kim Sae Ron after the court recognized his actions as stalking.

On March 31, Kwon Young Chan, head of the Korea Celebrity Suicide Prevention Association, revealed to CBS No Cut News that Kim Sae Ron’s family won their case against Lee Jin Ho.

He stated, “The court ruled that Lee Jin Ho committed stalking and issued a provisional order. For the next three months, he is banned from broadcasting anything related to the late Kim Sae Ron and her family.”

Kwon Young Chan also shared that Kim Sae Ron’s family is preparing to take further legal action. “The family plans to file an additional lawsuit for defamation due to false information in his recent broadcasts,” he said.

Kim Sae Ron’s family had already sued Lee Jin Ho for defamation, accusing him of spreading false claims. However, the YouTuber continued to release unverified details about her personal life and family.

On March 27, her family took stronger action by filing another lawsuit against him for violating the Anti-Stalking Act and requesting court intervention. The recent ruling has now restricted Lee Jin Ho from discussing Kim Sae Ron publicly.
