Source-derived summary

Le Sserafim ( lə SERR-ə-fim; Korean: 르세라핌; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by Source Music, a sub-label of Hybe. The group consists of five members: Sakura Miyawaki, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae. Le Sserafim was originally a six-member ensemble; Kim Garam departed from the group in July 2022.

Le Sserafim debuted on May 2, 2022, with the extended play Fearless. It was followed in October with their second extended play, Antifragile, which became the group's first release to sell over a million copies and made them the fastest K-pop girl group to debut on the US Billboard 200 at the time. Both EPs' lead singles reached the top ten of South Korea's Circle Digital Chart and were certified platinum for streaming in South Korea and Japan.

Le Sserafim's first studio album, Unforgiven (2023), marked their first number-one album on the Circle Album Chart and their first top-ten album on the Billboard 200. The album's singles "Unforgiven" and "Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife" peaked at number two in South Korea and were certified gold for streaming in Japan. The group's first English single "Perfect Night" (2023) became their first number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart, topping the chart for six weeks. They achieved further success with the extended plays Easy, Crazy, and Hot, all of which debuted in the top ten on the Billboard 200, and the Easy Crazy Hot Tour (2025–2026), which became one of the highest-grossing K-pop tours of 2025.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as south Korean girl group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111381707. VIAF identifies the subject as 2901167202635067930002. None of the 4 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
