One-by-one they strut across the stage during “Good Bones,” the intro track from their third mini-album “Easy,” which was released last February, setting the tone for the evening with the confident personas the members are known for. 

They followed it with “Antifragile,” an Afro-Latin style of pop genre with a hard-hitting Latin rhythm, showcasing their versatility as a genre-crossing group. 

Le Sserafim also gave mesmerizing performances of their debut single “Fearless” and “The Great Mermaid” before surprising fans with a new, unreleased track titled, “1-800-hot-n-fun.” 

They were joined on stage by legendary guitarist and producer Nile Rodgers for a surprise performance of their song “Unforgiven.” This marked the first time the two artists joined forces since releasing their collaboration last May. 

The energy then turned up with the Jersey club “Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard’s wife (English Ver.)” before going into “Perfect Night,” “Smart” and “Easy,” all of which had the crowd singing word-for-word. 

As they got ready to wrap up their set, Le Sserafim showcased their individuality and personal flair with their own dance breaks leading into crowd favorite “Fire in the belly.” The Latin pop track had the entire audience dancing with its irresistible energy.

Overall, throughout the entire show, it was obvious the members were genuinely having a great time on stage as they effortlessly brought the crowd together to sing and dance alongside them, making it feel like one big party.

Le Sserafim’s Coachella performance is another milestone for them. In just two short years, not only have they become the fastest K-pop artist to perform at the festival, but they’ve had three albums chart on the Billboard 200 (“Antifragile,” “Unforgiven” and “Easy”) and their latest lead single “Easy” debuted at No. 99 on the Billboard Hot 100, making them the fourth K-pop girl group to conquer both charts. 

Le Sserafim will return to Coachella on April 20.
