Le Sserafim begins first world tour with powerful statement of growth
From controversy to confidence, group opens a new chapter with 'Easy Crazy Hot'
After a difficult year marred by criticism of its live singing, girl group Le Sserafim kicked off its first world tour with an all-out, two-day show.
On Saturday and Sunday, Le Sserafim held its first world tour, 'Easy Crazy Hot,' at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the group.
Opening the show with 'Ash,' Le Sserafim quickly amped up the energy with performances of its latest main track 'Hot' and the B-side 'Come Over.'
The tour title, 'Easy Crazy Hot,' is a combination of the names of the mini albums the group released sequentially from February 2024 to March 2025: 'Easy,' 'Crazy' and 'Hot.' The group reflected on its journey by weaving together songs from all three albums. When they delivered a rock version of 'Easy' and a 'Crazy' stage with an added dance break, fans responded with even louder cheers.
Throughout the show, all five members showcased noticeably improved and stable vocals, a clear step up from their controversial Coachella performance last year. Whenever they hit clean high notes while executing intense dance moves, the crowd erupted in even louder cheers.
The members also delivered visually striking performances. All five climbed jungle gym-shaped stage structures, performing powerfully amid fire, laser and smoke effects that matched the mood of each song.
Toward the end of the concert, Le Sserafim performed band versions of its best-known tracks 'Fearless,' 'Unforgiven' and 'Antifragile,' drawing awe and applause from fans.
During the encore, the members expressed their gratitude to fans and indirectly addressed the criticism surrounding the group's performance skills over the past year.
Huh Yun-jin shared, 'Around this time last year, I was in my hotel room crying on the phone with someone from the company, saying, 'What are we going to do? Is there even a future for us? I don't know what's real and what's fake anymore.'' She opened up about the emotional toll of that period.
That time coincides with Le Sserafim's performance at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which drew harsh criticisms for a perceived lack of live vocal skills.
However, Huh said she used those experiences as fuel for personal growth. 'Do you know how pearls are made? An irritant enters a shell, and after enduring immense pain, it produces a pearl. I believed that if this pain was that intense, then a pearl would come out of it. I made a vow — to never lose my love through hard times and hate — and to protect our fans no matter what,' she said, drawing applause.
Youngest member Hong Eun-chae added, 'The road we walk together won't always be lined with flowers. Just like in our lyrics, there will be thorny paths too — and that's what makes the flower-filled ones even more beautiful.'
Le Sserafim is now set to embark on its first world tour since its 2022 debut, beginning with the Incheon concerts. The group will visit four cities in Japan, including Nagoya and Osaka, as well as Taipei, Hong Kong and Manila, with performances in North America scheduled for September.

Korean horror films tap everyday anxieties for spine-chilling thrills
Summer's crop of domestic frights trades supernatural scares for all-too-familiar urban nightmares Summer in South Korea traditionally means one thing: audiences flocking to darkened theaters for a good scare. It's a peculiar cultural ritual where horror films offer an icy jolt to counter the sweltering heat — a shiver down the spine in place of a cool breeze. But this year's slate of Korean horror marks a departure from the genre's usual paranormal suspects. Gone are the vengeful spirits and timeworn curses that once haunted screens. Instead, filmmakers are leaning into the anxieties of modern city life, spinning terror from the everyday frustrations that haunt urban dwellers. These films suggest that in a country as densely populated and tightly packed as South Korea, the real horrors might not be otherworldly — they might just be the people around you. Leading the charge is "Noise," opening June 25. Already a buzzed-about title on last year's international festival circuit, including Sitges and Fantasia, the film zeroes in on one of Korea's most maddening urban grievances: the relentless, brain-rattling thuds from upstairs neighbors. Director Kim Soo-jin transforms this all-too-familiar nuisance into a mounting sense of claustrophobic dread, turning domestic discomfort into a full-blown horror show. In a country where more than two-thirds of the population lives in apartment complexes, inter-floor noise complaints are no laughing matter — they've sparked violent altercations, stabbings and arson attacks, some fatal. The film roots its horror in this simmering tension, following the perspective of a hearing-impaired woman (played by Lee Sun-bin) who's searching for her missing sister. Her investigation leads her into a labyrinthine high-rise where every creak, shuffle and muffled knock feels like a threat, and even silence becomes suspicious. Backing the film's psychological horror is a razor-sharp soundscape designed by the veteran audio engineer behind "The Wailing" (2016) and "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" (2018). From the stickiness of tape being peeled to the hair-raising scratch of nails on wallpaper, each sound is fine-tuned to shred nerves. Netflix joins the fray on July 18 with "Wall to Wall," another thriller that draws on noise-fueled paranoia. It's one of seven original Korean films the streaming juggernaut is rolling out this year — and the lone horror entry — part of its broader push into the Korean film industry at a time when local theaters are reeling from record-low attendance. Kang Ha-neul, a leading man known for his range across romance and thrillers, plays an everyman who bets everything — savings, pension, even family property — to secure a modest apartment in Seoul. But his dream home quickly devolves into a psychological minefield as neighbors turn hostile and cryptic sounds pierce the thin walls. Apart from the scares, the film promises a timely commentary on South Korea's ruthless housing market and the emotional toll of securing — and keeping — a piece of it. (Fittingly, the Korean title "84 Square Meters" refers to the standard size of a middle-class unit here.) Rounding out the lineup is "Ghost Train," which premiered at last year's Busan International Film Festival. The anthology turns Korea's ubiquitous subway system — the daily artery for millions of commuters — into a haunted maze of uncanny encounters. Despite the title, the horror here is grounded in the all-too-familiar: drunken passengers, flickering platform lights and vending machines that seem just a little too creepy. Joo Hyun-young, best known for her comedic skits on "SNL Korea," makes her feature film debut as a clout-chasing YouTuber hunting for viral horror content at a notoriously cursed station. The film opens in local theaters on July 9.

BTS member Suga officially discharged from military service
K-pop group BTS member Suga was discharged from the South Korean military on Saturday, the seventh and final member to complete the country's mandatory national service amid expectations of the band's comeback from a hiatus. Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on Saturday with little fanfare as fans looked forward to his reunion with the rest of the band, a K-pop sensation since it started up in 2013. "We confirm that Suga effectively completed his alternative service on June 18 by using his remaining leave. His official discharge date is June 21," BTS' label, Big Hit Music, said in a statement. Unlike with his BTS bandmates, there was no public event planned to mark Suga's release because of overcrowding concerns. The seven members of the group put their global music careers on hold in 2022 to begin their military service, starting with Jin in December that year. South Korea's mandatory national service can be for terms of up to 18 months. Shortly after his official discharge, Suga posted a message on fan community platform Weverse, saying he was "sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by what happened last year", and also apologizing to his bandmates. Last year, Suga was fined 15 million won ($11,500) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. The group is expected to hold its largest-ever world tour in 2026, an NH Securities entertainment analyst said in a report.
