Le Sserafim generated 100 million streams on Spotify with “Antifragile,” according to the data released by the music platform on Wednesday.

“Antifragile” came out in October and stayed on Spotify’s global weekly top songs chart for nine consecutive weeks.

Meanwhile, the bandmates flew to Japan on Tuesday to star in Nihon TV’s annual music award show. On New Year’s Eve, they will join the lineup for NHK’s year-end singing contest, a rarity for a rookie group that has not officially debuted in Japan.

Le Sserafim will enter the country in full force next year, putting out debut single “Fearless” on Jan. 25. It dropped main track -- Japanese-language version of “Fearless” – on Dec. 15 in advance.

WayV will release fourth EP “Phantom” on Wednesday, according to label SM Entertainment.

It is unveiling music video for the titular track as well, inspired by musical “Phantom of the Opera.” The dance pop tune based on trap hip-hop compares hardships and obstacles to phantoms and is full of willingness to overcome them.

The six bandmates are going live on their social network channel and counting down to the full release of their album and discuss it with their fans.

WayV is a subunit of NCT consisting of seven Chinese members and debuted in 2019 with the digital EP “The Vision.” The new EP will feature only six members as Lucas has suspended all activities due to scandal since last year.

The EP was slated to be released in March, and then in September, but the date has been pushed back. It has been over 1 1/2 years since its previous EP “Kick Back.”
