Girl group Le Sserafim will hold its first fan meet-and-greet, “Fearnada 2023 S/S” on March 18 and 19, its agency Source Music said Tuesday.

A teaser video clip released the same day showed the words “A Fear DNA” transforming into “Fearnada,” the title of the first fan meet-and-greet.

“Fearnada” when written in hangul has another meaning in Korean — “bloomed.” A name that is also closely linked with the group’s fandom name — “Fearnot,” which in Korean also means “Bloom.”

The fan meet-and-greet will be held at the Olympic Hall at Olympic Stadium in Songpa District, southern Seoul, and both days of the concert will be livestreamed globally.

Further information about the fan meet-and-greet will be released in the coming days.

The girl group topped Japan’s Oricon Weekly Single Chart with the band’s first Japanese single “Fearless” on Tuesday, becoming the first foreign female artist to take the top spot on the chart in five years.

The single also sold 222,000 units during the first week of its release, a record sales figure for the first week for a K-pop girl group in Japan.
