Le Sserafim is a South Korean girl group formed by Source Music, a sub-label of Hybe.
The group debuted on May 2, 2022 with the extended play Fearless.
The name is an anagram of the phrase "I'm Fearless" and refers to the seraphim, heavenly beings with six wings.
The group was originally a six-member ensemble; Kim Garam departed in July 2022.

Current members: Sakura Miyawaki, Kim Chaewon (leader), Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae.
Sakura and Kim Chaewon were members of the project girl group Iz*One from Produce 48.
Kazuha trained as a professional ballerina before joining the group.

Second EP Antifragile (2022) became the group's first million-selling release and debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200.
Japanese debut single "Fearless" was released in January 2023.
First studio album Unforgiven (2023) was the group's first number-one album on the Circle Album Chart.
English single "Perfect Night" (2023) became the group's first number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart.
Easy (2024) and Crazy (2024) both debuted in the Billboard 200 top ten, and Hot followed in 2025.
The Easy Crazy Hot Tour (2025–2026) became one of the top 10 highest-grossing K-pop tours of 2025.
Second studio album Pureflow Pt. 1 was released in May 2026, followed by the Pureflow Tour.

David Crone of AllMusic: calls the album a notably more foot-forward release than the group's past works
Crone: says the title track is destined to become a club staple
Han Seong-hyeon of IZM: awards the album 2 out of 5 stars
Han: criticizes the lyrics of the songs
Han: unfavorably compares the album with Western music, including Taylor Swift's album Reputation (2017) and Ariana Grande's song Yes, And? (2024)
The two reviews point in opposite directions, one praising the release and the other criticizing it
