LE SSERAFIM Encore Concert Goes Viral as Chaewon and Sakura Transform Tote Bags Into Fashion Statements

LE SSERAFIM wrapped up their world tour in spectacular fashion with a two-day encore concert at Seoul's Jamsil Indoor Stadium on January 31 and February 1, and it was a moment during the encore stage that has since taken social media by storm. Members Chaewon and Sakura surprised fans by creatively repurposing their official merchandise tote bags as makeshift tops, turning a simple accessory into an unexpected fashion statement that quickly went viral online.

A Viral Fashion Moment

While the rest of the group donned standard concert merchandise for the encore portion of the show, Chaewon and Sakura decided to take a different approach. The two members slipped into the group's promotional tote bags, wearing them as crop tops in a playful display of creativity that delighted the audience. Fans flooded social media with clips and photos of the moment, praising both the humor and the effortless style the members brought to the unconventional look.

The lighthearted moment provided a perfect capstone to what has been a monumental tour for the five-member group. Their world tour, titled 'EASY CRAZY HOT,' spanned 19 cities across Asia, North America, and beyond, with 29 performances in total. Twelve of those shows were completely sold out, cementing LE SSERAFIM's status as one of K-pop's most in-demand live acts.

Tour Milestones and Chart Domination

The Seoul encore concerts were streamed live via Weverse to fans in 57 countries and regions, underscoring the group's truly global reach. The tour included a landmark two-night engagement at Tokyo Dome last November, where the group performed for approximately 80,000 fans across both dates.

The momentum from the tour has also translated into chart success. LE SSERAFIM's single 'SPAGHETTI' recently claimed the number one spot on Japan's Oricon Weekly Singles Ranking, making the group only the second overseas female artist to top the chart in three years. The achievement follows their 2023 debut single 'FEARLESS,' which also reached the summit of the same chart.

Unforgettable Fan Interactions

Beyond the viral tote bag moment, the Seoul encore was filled with heartwarming interactions between the members and their fans. Leader Chaewon opened the show by expressing how much she had missed performing in Seoul after traveling the world since April of last year. Yunjin greeted international fans in English, Sakura spoke in Japanese, and Eunchae addressed Chinese-speaking fans in their language.

One particularly touching moment came when the youngest concertgoer in attendance, a 10-year-old girl who had come with her parents, was spotted by Chaewon and Kazuha. A married couple was also shown on the big screen, with the husband planting a kiss on his wife's cheek, drawing cheers from the crowd. Member Eunchae playfully demanded louder cheers from the audience, threatening to leave the stage if fans did not match their energy, which only amplified the already electric atmosphere.

With Summer Sonic 2026 in Tokyo and Osaka already confirmed for August, LE SSERAFIM shows no signs of slowing down as they continue to expand their global footprint in the year ahead.
