Le Sserafim received 100 million views on YouTube for the music video of “Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife,” agency Source Music said Friday.
It is the group’s fourth video to reach the milestone, following those of “Fearless,” “Antifragile” and “Unforgiven (feat. Nile Rodgers),” and is its first music video for a B-side track to do so.
“Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s Wife” is from the quintet’s first full-length album “Unforgiven” and surpassed the popularity of the lead single. It was remade into an English-language version, a first for Le Sserafim.
Meanwhile, the five members will greet their fans in Japan for the first time next month through their fan meetup. From June 29, they will visit four prefectures – Hyogo, Aichi, Kanagawa and Fukuoka – for their tour.
