LE SSERAFIM serve up their latest dish, “Spaghetti,” the third EP in a trilogy that includes a saucy new collaboration with BTS’ j-hope.
As expected, the tasty treat dropped at midnight, along with the rest of the eight-track HYBE collection, marking j-hope’s very first feature on a track by a K-pop girl group.
The powerhouse team-up was teased earlier in the week with a video on YouTube titled “The Kick,” in which j-hope dons a Matrix-esque outfit and shades while appearing underneath flashing strobe lights. The big reveal comes at the end, with a snippet of KIM CHAEWON, SAKURA, HUH YUNJIN, KAZUHA and HONG EUNCHAE hitting us with the “eat it up” refrain.
Now it’s time to fill up.
Members of LE SSERAFIM recently caught up with Billboard Philippines to discuss how they made “Spaghetti.” The new cut “expresses LE SSERAFIM’s charm that you just can’t get away from, like spaghetti that’s stuck in your teeth,” says SAKURA. “The part where we sing “eat it up” over and over is the highlight, and since each of us members delivers it in our own styles, it adds even more playfulness to the song.”
LE SSERAFIM have been on fire of late. In March of this year, the ensemble’s HOT debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, for their fifth top 10 on the tally, which and second leader after 2024’s Crazy.
The fearless five has just completed the north American leg of their EASY CRAZY HOT World Tour, a run of shows that kicked off in April in South Korea which, according to a statement, weaves together the “unique concepts and narratives” of their EP trilogy, EASY, CRAZY, and HOT, “into one spectacular experience.”
It’s not the first time member of LE SSERAFIM have cooked up a storm with pop culture heavyweights. Earlier in the year, KIM CHAEWON featured on JVKE’s “butterflies,” featuring TAEHYUN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, while the singers teamed up with JADE on “HOT” featuring JADE; PinkPantheress on “CRAZY”; and Nile Rodgers on “UNFORGIVEN.”
