LE SSERAFIM, the surging force of fourth-generation K pop, is set to light up America’s biggest New Year’s Eve celebration as the only K pop act on this year’s star packed roster. ABC announced on December 2 that the group, made up of Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Heo Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae, will perform on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026.
The iconic broadcast, watched worldwide from the evening of December 31 into the first moments of the new year, is known for showcasing the most influential artists of the season, with this year’s lineup featuring LE SSERAFIM alongside Mariah Carey, Post Malone, and rising star Chappell Roan.
The group will take the Times Square stage with performances of their mini album title track CRAZY and their hit single SPAGHETTI featuring BTS member J hope. CRAZY, released in August, entered Billboard’s Hot 100 and later surged again through viral fan singalongs during their 2025 EASY CRAZY HOT world tour.
SPAGHETTI, released on October 24, has been celebrated for its addictive melody and striking stage presence, pushing the group to their highest positions yet on Billboard’s Hot 100 at number fifty and on the UK Official Singles Chart at number forty six.
LE SSERAFIM’s rapid rise in the United States has been undeniable, punctuated by a sold out North American tour that wrapped in September with shows in Newark, Chicago, Grand Prairie, Inglewood, San Francisco, Seattle, and Las Vegas. Their invitation to the country’s most watched New Year’s Eve broadcast reinforces their growing influence and solidifies their status as leading figures in the global K pop landscape.
As year end approaches, the group’s momentum remains unstoppable. Their upcoming schedule includes the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025 in Taiwan on December 6, the KBS 2025 Gayo Daechukje Global Festival on December 19, the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25, and Japan’s Countdown Japan 25/26 on December 28. They will begin the new year on a high note with an appearance at the 40th Golden Disc Awards in January 2026.
