LE SSERAFIM is closing out 2025 on a high note as anticipation grows for the group’s upcoming appearance on one of the biggest New Year’s Eve broadcasts in the United States.
Following a series of well-received year-end performances in Korea, the group is set to appear live on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026, which will air on December 31 local time on ABC. LE SSERAFIM is the only K-pop act included in this year’s lineup, highlighting their expanding global presence.
Fans React Strongly to Year-End Performances
Throughout recent year-end music specials, LE SSERAFIM earned praise for their creative staging and consistently polished performances. The group showcased multiple versions of their track “SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS),” offering fresh interpretations for each broadcast and keeping viewers engaged with dynamic visual storytelling.
At KBS2’s Gayo Daechukje Global Festival, the group drew attention with a concept-driven stage that incorporated oversized props inspired by the song’s title, such as giant chopsticks and a fork. During the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon, LE SSERAFIM delivered a powerful intro with a large-scale dance crew, followed by a bold dance break featuring drag performers, creating one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
These stages further reinforced the group’s reputation as one of the leading fourth-generation girl groups in terms of performance and stage presence.
Excitement Builds for U.S. Broadcast
Ahead of their U.S. appearance, the members shared their thoughts through Source Music, expressing excitement about closing the year on such a meaningful stage.
They said it feels special to wrap up 2025 and welcome the new year with audiences around the world, adding that the year was particularly memorable thanks to the strong response to their music and the completion of their first world tour. The group also promised to deliver a memorable performance as a way of thanking fans for their continued support.
On New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, LE SSERAFIM is scheduled to perform the title track from their fourth mini album, “CRAZY,” along with “SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS).” The stage is expected to introduce their performance style to an even wider global audience.
Looking Ahead to 2026
After completing their New Year’s Eve broadcast, LE SSERAFIM will continue their activities with encore concerts in Seoul. The group is set to hold two shows on January 31 and February 1, 2026, at Jamsil Indoor Stadium. Both performances sold out completely within ten minutes of general ticket sales, underscoring their strong fanbase.
As LE SSERAFIM wraps up a successful year and steps onto a global stage to welcome 2026, attention is firmly fixed on how they will continue to expand their international reach in the coming year.
Editor’s Insight
What makes LE SSERAFIM’s 2025 year-end run so spectacular is their fearless commitment to “Performance Art.” In a sea of idols, they have carved out a niche by being intentionally bold—whether it’s the campy, oversized props for “SPAGHETTI” or the groundbreaking inclusion of drag performers at SBS Gayo Daejeon. By choosing to be “CRAZY” and experimental, they are signaling to the world that they aren’t just following a girl-group blueprint; they are creating their own.
The fact that they are the only K-pop act on the Rockin’ Eve 2026 lineup is a massive strategic win for Source Music. It places them in front of millions of non-K-pop fans at the exact moment their collaboration with BTS’s j-hope is peaking on global charts. From a branding perspective, this is the perfect “Global Entry” strategy. They aren’t just showing up to perform; they are showing up to dominate the conversation. As they head into 2026 with a sold-out Seoul encore, it’s clear that LE SSERAFIM has cracked the code for international longevity: stay bold, stay creative, and never be afraid to make a scene.
