LE SSERAFIM New Year’s Eve performance: K-pop sensation LE SSERAFIM is set to ring in the New Year on one of the world’s biggest stages. The group has officially been announced as part of the star-studded lineup for ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026, making them the only K-pop act featured in this year’s show. Their inclusion underscores the group’s rapidly rising popularity across the United States.
The announcement was made on December 2 (local time) through the show’s official social media handles, confirming that LE SSERAFIM will perform live from Times Square during the iconic New Year’s Eve broadcast. The group will take the stage with two major hits, their fourth mini-album title track CRAZY and their debut single SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS).
CRAZY, released last August, entered the Billboard Hot 100 and went viral again during their 2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘EASY CRAZY HOT’, becoming one of the group’s most beloved tracks. SPAGHETTI, released on October 24, also drew massive attention, largely driven by its infectious hook and striking choreography. The collaboration with BTS’ j-hope helped the track debut at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, while also charting at No. 46 on the UK Official Singles Chart, marking another milestone in the group’s global success.
LE SSERAFIM’s momentum in the U.S. market has been particularly strong this year. Their North American tour sold out all seven cities, including Newark, Chicago, Grand Prairie, Inglewood, San Francisco, Seattle and Las Vegas.
The group is expected to maintain a packed global schedule through the year-end season. They will appear at the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025 in Taiwan on December 6, followed by COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26 on December 28. LE SSERAFIM will also attend the 40th Golden Disc Awards in January 2026.
The main Times Square broadcast will air live on ABC on December 31 at 8:00 PM EST. For international and delayed viewers, the show will also be available to stream on Hulu from January 1, 2027.
The 2026 celebration will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora from Times Square, with Chance the Rapper anchoring the Chicago segment and Rob Gronkowski and Julianne Hough hosting from Las Vegas.
