LE SSERAFIM is being called a flop.
On September 24, a post titled “LE SSERAFIM Is A Flop” went viral. In only a couple of hours, the post has been viewed close to 70K times.
In the post, a netizen uploaded the views from several of YouTube videos and shows featuring LE SSERAFIM. Shockingly, it seems that the group is failing to attract very many viewers. This appears to be especially true when compared to videos from other groups.
- MEOVV ANNA’s FanCam: 240K views
- Hong Eunchae: 18k views
- Huh Yunjin: 15k views
- Kazuha: 25k views
- Sakura: 49k views
- Chaewon: 26k views
- Kazuha: 17k views
- Yunjin: 10k views
- Sakura: 89k views
- Chaewon: 33k views
- Eunchae: 9.9k views
Most damning are the views from LE SSERAFIM’s recent appearance on Shin Dong Yup’s YouTube show. The show, which regularly surpasses a million views per video only brought in 270K viewers for its LE SSERAFIM episode.
- LE SSERAFIM: 270K views
- Kim Woo Bin, Kim Sung Kyung: 1.18 Million views
- Jung Hae In: 1.16 Million views
- Jo In Sung: 2.18 Million views
- Baekhyun: 1.11 Million views
Although it is important to note that the views largely reflect the Korean audience, it is undeniable that the group has suffered a loss of popularity due to controversies surrounding their vocals as well as HYBE‘s feud with Min Hee Jin and NewJeans. With the group only being in their 3rd year, however, the group still has time to turn things around.
