Le Sserafim will put out the single “Crazy” in Japan on Dec. 11, agency Source Music said Friday.
It is the group’s third physical single to be released in the country and will consist of three songs: the Japanese-language versions of “Crazy” and “Easy,” focus tracks from its fourth and third mini albums, as well as a new song.
The original song “Crazy” hit Billboard’s Hot 100 at No. 88 and climbed to No. 76, the highest rung for the quintet. It is the only K-pop song besides BTS Jimin’s “Who” to spend two weeks on the main songs chart this year. The EP of the same title debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 7 and topped its Top Album Sales Chart. It also earned gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan last month.

StayC will be back with the digital single “…|” on Oct. 30, agency HighUp Entertainment announced Friday.
The company uploaded a short visualizer that showed a bubble gum pink phone resembling a Blackberry awaiting a reply after sending messages: “Are you not curious about me? Is it enough as it is?” The phone's keyboard with only three letters -- G, P and T -- also piqued fans' interest.
The six-member group is returning about three months after its first studio album “Metamorphic,” which debuted on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut Chart at No. 5.
As the group told fans earlier on a fandom platform, it will run a pop-up store in Seoul next month to celebrate its fourth debut anniversary. In February StayC will drop a new album, and in April it will kick off its second international tour.
