KPOP girl group Le Sserafim has been gaining popularity since their debut in 2022 with "Fearless," it seems like they are on the fast track to following BLACKPINK's footsteps in dominating the United States.
According to reports, the five-membered group's recently released mini album, "EASY," topped the iTunes charts globally; it peaked at No. 2 in the country, and No. 1 in Japan, Canada, Chile, and Mexico.
This achievement comes a few months before their first-ever appearance and performance at Coachella 2024 kicks off on Apr. 12 at the Polo Club in Indio, California.
Le Sserafim consists of Chaewon, the leader, Sakura, Yunjin, Kazuha, and Eunchae. They are signed under Source Music and Geffen Records.

With the success of their newly released album, the group talked to USA Today about their journey to success and international recognition.
"Up until now, I think we've pushed forward the message that 'I'm fearless.' I think with this album, we get to be a little more transparent about the process of getting to that stage," said Yunjin, referencing the group's name which is an anagram for "I'm fearless."
"We're always trying to be as honest as we can and reflect back on how we feel in the moment and what kind of emotional growth we've gone through since the last album."
Le Sserafim is one of the few KPOP acts invited to perform at the annual music and arts festival, including BLACKPINK and boy group Ateez.
"It's going to be a big challenge for us, but we want to really grasp this opportunity and grow further as artists. We're going to put our everything into creating an amazing performance there," Kazuha said about their upcoming performance.

Le Sserafim has released three albums thus far: "Fearless," "Antifragile" and "Unforgiven."
According to reports, their new release is a culmination of the concepts of all the three albums that came before it.
"Nothing is effortless, a lot goes into what we do and we'll continue to do [as such] in the future," Yunjin explained.
"I think the scene symbolically shows our resilience to get back up even after a big fall and move forward without hesitation," Eunchae told Dazed.
"Every moment has its ups and downs, but I realized there is always something to learn and take away from them, and I've learned to face it head-on."
