The year has marked a significant milestone for Le Sserafim's members—Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae. Following the success of their latest EP, Hot, the group has launched their very first global concert series. This tour showcases their most popular tracks paired with their distinct, vibrant stage ensembles.
For the North American segment of their tour, which began in Newark, New Jersey, the group demonstrated a deep understanding of their fans' desires. Their return to the tri-state area was a deliberate choice, spurred by the overwhelming reception they received during their performance at the MTV VMAs in New York the previous year. Sakura remarked on the powerful connection felt with the audience, affirming the necessity of their return.
Tour preparation involved intense physical conditioning to build stamina, with the group's workout routines often gaining viral attention. Maintaining a strong group cohesion was equally important. Kazuha shared their pre-show ritual: a team chant that unifies their collective energies, helping them to focus and deliver peak performances.
An essential aspect of their tour preparation was the meticulous planning of their performance attire. Eunchae, the youngest member, emphasized the goal of creating outfits that perfectly complement the diverse and extensive setlist, ensuring each look captured the essence of every movement. Le Sserafim also collaborated with the acclaimed New York brand Guizio, releasing a capsule collection featuring light blue shades, the group's official color, just before the tour commenced.
