LE SSERAFIM is turning up the heat for their highly anticipated comeback!

At midnight on February 26, LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae) dropped breathtaking photos and videos for BLEACHED AURA, the third concept from their 5th mini-album HOT.

In this concept, the five members transform into celestial beings with glowing feathered wings, each shining in different colors—white, pink, yellow, blue, and orange.

When they come together, their light merges into one, symbolizing the intense energy created when their individual passions unite.

Their visuals are absolutely stunning! Kim Chaewon’s piercing blue contact lenses give her an almost hypnotic gaze, while Sakura sets the scene on fire—literally—rocking a HOT-emblazoned shirt as her wings appear to burn.

Kazuha adds a magical touch, scattering glowing embers like fireflies. Huh Yunjin, with icy white eyelashes, exudes an otherworldly, elf-like beauty, and Hong Eunchae’s delicate flower petal accents on her cheeks and nose make her look effortlessly ethereal, even in extreme close-ups.

With BLEACHED AURA following the previously revealed TANNED GUAIAC and DRENCHED VETIVER concepts, fans are eager to see what’s next! LE SSERAFIM will unveil the Compact version photos and videos on February 27, followed by the Weverse version on February 28.

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM’s new album HOT is set to drop on March 14 at 1 PM KST. A day before, they’ll be holding the LE SSERAFIM COMEBACK SHOWCASE ‘HOT’ to celebrate with fans. Who’s ready for this fiery comeback?

Singer Lee Hyori is being praised once again for her touching act of kindness toward the late actress Choi Jin Sil’s mother, a story that has recently resurfaced online and has people calling her ‘Mother Hyorisa’ for a reason.

This story gained attention after Lee Hyori shared it during her appearance on the YouTube variety show Super Market Sora, which aired on February 7 of last year. On the show, Lee Hyori opened up about how she comforted Choi Jin Sil’s mother at the actress’s funeral, even though she wasn’t very close to Choi Jin Sil personally.

During the show, Lee Hyori shared, “At the funeral, Unnie (referring to Um Jung Hwa), Jin Young oppa, and Jin Sil unnie’s mother were there. I didn’t know most of them, and I was still young, so I didn’t really know how to comfort anyone. I just sat nearby and watched the unnies comfort her.”

She continued, “It was around 11 or 12 at night. Jin Young oppa seemed out of place with the others, so I went to his room. He played a duet song with Jin Sil unnie that was never released, and asked if I wanted to listen. The song even had a music video with candid moments of Jin Sil unnie. He cried while watching it. I was still young, so I just sat next to him. When I came out, all the unnies had left. I was going to leave too, but Jin Sil unnie’s mother asked if I could stay for just one night.”

Lee Hyori added, “I didn’t feel like saying no. I thought, ‘If I can be of help, I’ll stay.’ So I slept in her room, and she held me while sleeping. Then I had a dream. Jin Sil unnie came to me—even though I had never met her in person—and said, ‘Please take care of Hwan Hee and Joon Hee.’ It was a strange dream, but even so, I couldn’t keep visiting their house or taking care of the children after that.”'

This touching moment continues to earn Lee Hyori praise for her kind-hearted nature. Often called "Mother Hyorisa" by fans (a nickname combining "Hyo Ri" and "Mother Teresa"), Lee Hyori is known for her good deeds. She has volunteered for abandoned animals, anonymously donated masks to low-income groups during the early days of COVID-19, and gave 100 million won during the 2023 Gangwon wildfires.

Beyond her TV appearances, Lee Hyori has shown her sincerity on shows like Hyori’s Bed and Breakfast, where she was praised for remembering her guests and keeping in touch with them even after they left. Her actions speak louder than words, and this is exactly why people continue to call her "Mother Hyorisa."

Fans continue to be moved by her unwavering kindness and generosity, proving that Lee Hyori is truly a role model in more ways than one.
