LE SSERAFIM successfully kicked off their first-ever tour "FLAME RISES" in Seoul with jaw-dropping performances on August 12 & 13. The act also greeted its global fans through a live stream of the offline concert.
Synchronized performances of “The Worlds Is My Oyster” and “FEARLESS” led the set featuring 17 tracks, followed by a mesmerizing performance reminiscent of mermaids dancing in the sea with “The Great Mermaid.” Crossing over different genres that show the act’s versatility throughout the show, LE SSERAFIM performed their empowering hits including “ANTIFRAGILE,” “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife,” and “UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)” with tightly choreographed dance breaks in between to wow the audience.
Throughout the show, the quintet actively interacted with fans and showcased flawless stages of fan favourites including “No Celestial,” “Blue Flame,” “FEARNOT (Between You, Me, and the Lamppost),” “Good Parts (When the quality is bad but I am)” and more. The act premiered their unreleased track “We Got So Much,” delivering their love towards their fans FEARNOT. For the grand finale, leader KIM CHAEWON shouted out the lyrics “Join my crew” as the signature Latin pop rhythm of “Fire in the belly” filled the entire arena, adding fuel to the quintet and the fans’ passion for their adventure together moving forward.
Today, immediately following the two blissful nights of "FLAME RISES" in Seoul, the quintet’s singer-songwriter HUH YUNJIN surprised the fans with her fourth self-produced track “Blessing in Disguise.”
A bright disco-pop-based soul/funk track “Blessing in Disguise” relays an honest and personal message—the gratitude that comes from overcoming difficulties and inconveniences is what empowers us to change ourselves.
"FLAME RISES" includes a total of 13 dates across 7 cities. LE SSERAFIM will bring their highly-anticipated show full of energy to Japan on August 23.
