“The image features members from each group sharing a moment together, reflecting the growing industry bonds within the K-pop industry,” @nainaaheree noted.

More details on the HYBE girl groups LE SSERAFIM, KATSEYE, and ILLIT

LE SSERAFIM, the quintet musical group, is comprised of Huh Yunjin, Kim Chaewon, Hong Eunchae, Kazuha, and Sakura. Source Music, a sub-label under HYBE in 2022, formed the girl group.

They were originally a 6-member group, but Kim Garam left in July 2022. The group introduced itself to the world with the Fearless album, released on May 2, 2022.

Their second body of work, Antifragile, was released in October 2022; Antifragile made LE SSERAFIM the fastest K-pop girl group to debut on the US Billboard 200 at the time.

KATSEYE debuted after LE SSERAFIM in June 2024 under another sub-label of HYBE Label, Geffen. The California-based group is comprised of Manon, Daniela, Megan, Lara, Yoonchae, and Sophia.

The girl group was formed through the reality show Dream Academy and debuted with the single Debut. Their viral hit Touch was released a month after their launch, and it propelled them to fame.

ILLIT is the most recent girl group of the trio and had its grand reveal in 2024. The relative newcomer group is composed of Moka, Yunah, Minju, Iroha, and Wonhee.

The group formed by Belift Lab, another sub-label of HYBE, released its first EP, Super Real Me, on March 25, 2024. They grew popular for their hit track Magnetic, which entered the US Billboard charts eight days after its release.


Fans are thrilled to see the HYBE Label groups interact with each other, fostering unity and growth in the music industry.
