Le Sserafim to return to game festival BlizzCon in September

Girl group Le Sserafim is scheduled to return to the global game show BlizzCon's closing stage on Sept. 13, three years after becoming the first K-pop act to perform in the festival, according to the quintet's agency Source Music.

BlizzCon is an annual game festival hosted by Blizzard Entertainment, a U.S. video game giant behind megahit games such as Warcraft, Diablo and StarCraft. This year’s festival is scheduled for Sept. 12 and 13 in Anaheim, California.

The group will participate in various events throughout the festival and perform on the main stage on the festival's final day, according to the agency.

In 2023, the group performed its biggest hits medley, along with “Perfect Night” (2023).  The 2023 track's music video was released in collaboration with Overwatch, a megahit video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment.

“We can't wait to meet everyone and be part of something really, really special," members said in a video uploaded to BlizzCon’s social media on Thursday.

Following its BlizzCon performance, the group will embark on its North American leg of the upcoming world tour, “Pureflow,” beginning in Los Angeles on Sept 16.

The tour will continue to: San Jose, California, on Sept. 23; Phoenix, Arizona, on Sept. 25; Fort Worth, Texas, on Sept 27; Orlando, Florida, on Sept. 30; Chicago on Oct. 2; Washington on Oct. 5; and Newark, New Jersey, on Oct. 8. 

Le Sserafim debuted in 2022 under Source Music, a K-pop agency under HYBE, with EP “Fearless” (2022).  The band consists of members: Kim Chae-won, Kazuha, Huh Sun-jin, Sakura Miyawaki and Hong Eun-chae.

The quintet is best known for hits such as "Antifragile" (2022) and "Unforgiven" (2023) and recently released its second full-length album, “Pureflow pt.1,” in May.
