LE SSERAFIM Draw 17,000 to Taipei Shows With Reworked Hits, Fan Light Waves and Night Market Memories

Two nights of music and a meeting beyond the stage

LE SSERAFIM drew a combined attendance of 17,000 to National Taiwan Sport University Arena, commonly known as Linkou Arena, on November 14 and 15, 2026, for the Taipei stop of their PUREFLOW world tour. The second concert brought 8,500 fans together for reworked hits, coordinated chants and a wave of mobile phone lights directed from the stage.

The five members, Kim Chaewon, Sakura Miyawaki, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha Nakamura and Hong Eunchae, also made their connection with Taiwan part of the performance. They greeted the audience in Mandarin, offered thanks in Taiwanese and described encounters outside the venue, including a night market visit that ended with an unexpected promise to see a fan at the next concert.

Taiwanese actor Greg Hsu sent a flower basket filled with local snacks, while the band Mayday also sent flowers. Behind the scenes, organiser iMe TW arranged games, coffee and hot pot for the visiting performers and their team.

The concerts carried the Taipei tour name, although the arena itself is in Taoyuan. Across both evenings, the group's fans, known as FEARNOT, supplied more than applause: they danced from their seats, raised prepared banners and joined carefully timed responses to the songs.

A bright opening and greetings in Mandarin

The November 15 show began with CELEBRATION, with the members wearing black and red sequined outfits and black boots. Creatures and Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's wife were also part of the opening stretch, establishing a brisk pace before the group paused for introductions.

Chaewon, the group's leader, greeted the audience in Mandarin by asking whether they had waited a long time and saying the members had too. Kazuha asked how fans had been and told them she had missed them. Yunjin invited everyone to enjoy the evening together.

The members said the audience's cheers made the start of the concert feel real. Their greetings were part of a wider effort to connect each stop with the place hosting it: they explained that they think about the local atmosphere when preparing to perform somewhere different.

For Taipei, the group also wanted returning fans to see how they had grown since the previous visit. That aim ran through both the revised performances and the conversations between songs, when the members repeatedly invited the audience to respond.

Familiar songs with a different concert sound

HOT and Perfect Night received new arrangements for the tour, alongside changes in dance formations. A new arrangement changes how a familiar song is presented, such as its musical backing or the way one passage leads into another. Here, those changes gave returning listeners something different to hear as well as watch.

The show moved between energetic choreography and a more relaxed setting with a sofa, where the members sang and spoke with fans in casual outfits. Songs across the performance included Need Your Company, Blue Flame, EASY and 1-800-hot-n-fun.

After a video break and another costume change, the pace rose again with BOOMPALA, ANTIFRAGILE, Irony and CRAZY. SPAGHETTI and UNFORGIVEN also featured in the later part of the concert, with the audience encouraged to stand and move along.

The contrast between the seated exchanges and the demanding dance sequences gave the evening two distinct kinds of contact. Fans could watch the group's tightly organised routines, then hear the members speak more personally before the next run of songs.

Fans turn their phones and seats into part of the show

Sakura invited the audience to switch on their phone flashlights and send a wave of light around the arena. Rather than relying only on concert light sticks, fans raised their phones in sequence, creating a moving pattern that the members directed and admired from the stage.

Audience participation also included invitations for fans who liked dancing to show their moves from their seats while the group sang for them. Yunjin later said she had watched fans dancing while she was backstage changing clothes and praised their enthusiasm.

Eunchae said the final night's responses were even more enthusiastic and coordinated than the previous evening's. Kazuha recalled feeling a similar energy during the group's earlier Taipei visit and said seeing fans enjoy themselves gave the members strength.

During SPAGHETTI and EASY, the group also sang passages without the full backing and listened for the audience's replies. These fan chants are coordinated responses placed at particular moments in a song. The timing lets thousands of people answer together, which helps explain Chaewon's later description of strangers becoming a single team.

A playful sequence before Saki involved Sakura briefly leaving the stage while the others called for her. Eunchae explained that she and Kazuha had used cute gestures to bring Sakura back the previous day. This time, Chaewon and Yunjin took their turn calling for her.

Yunjin connects songwriting with life inside the group

Yunjin used an English speaking segment to introduce a song she had written and discuss misunderstandings between people. She said misunderstandings were inevitable in relationships, but such experiences could eventually help people understand one another better, connecting the song's subject to relationships within LE SSERAFIM.

She described how those experiences had helped the members grow from teammates into friends and people who felt like sisters. Her message to fans was that she hoped they might recognise experiences from their own lives in the music.

The remarks gave a personal focus to a concert otherwise driven by dance tracks and audience games. Yunjin spoke about the work of living and performing together, while the group's frequent exchanges with fans brought that theme of closeness into the arena.

The members also explained that returning to a city brings a particular responsibility: they want people who have waited for them to see progress. In Taipei, they expressed that through changed musical arrangements, different choreography and direct conversations about their time together.

A night market encounter becomes a concert memory

Yunjin and Chaewon visited a Taipei night market during their free time, eating local food, including a Taiwanese sausage wrapped in a sticky rice sausage, and encountering a fan on the street. After a brief conversation, they agreed to see one another at the following day's performance. Recalling the encounter, they said they had exchanged a warm "See you tomorrow."

For Yunjin, the meeting made the group's place in fans' ordinary lives feel especially real. Someone walking through the city was also looking forward to attending their concert the next day. She said she valued being able to encounter that connection naturally, beyond the stage and the scheduled event.

Yunjin described enjoying local food and exploring the streets during the visit, saying, "There were so many delicious things, and the streets were very beautiful." Reflecting on the encounter, she said:

We said, see you at the show! Although we are far apart, we are each a small part of one another's lives. I realised that LE SSERAFIM's concerts are a small part of everyone's everyday lives. That is very precious to me.

She said she wanted fans to leave with happy memories and wanted their preparations to meet the group to feel worthwhile.

Members were also seen around Ningxia Night Market, Huayin Street, department store basement shopping areas and the neighbourhood around Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The outings gave their comments about experiencing local life a concrete setting, from busy food stalls to everyday shopping streets.

Greg Hsu sends flowers with a Taiwanese snack surprise

Greg Hsu's congratulatory basket combined blue and white roses and baby's breath with I-Mei mini puffs in several flavours. Taiwanese biscuits were also included. The gift brought familiar local snacks into the backstage celebrations.

Hsu, the Taiwanese actor who has previously joined LE SSERAFIM for dance collaborations, addressed the group in an English message on the card:

To LE SSERAFIM：Enjoy again～

The card was signed with his name and identified him as an actor. Yunjin photographed the basket and posted a message of thanks in traditional Chinese. Chaewon also shared a photograph and tagged Hsu's account.

Yunjin's message expressed appreciation for his repeated support:

每次都非常感謝！

The words mean that she is very grateful every time. The choice of traditional Chinese matched the writing system used in Taiwan and echoed the members' efforts to address fans in their own language during the concerts.

A friendship stretching from dance clips to Taipei concerts

Hsu's gift continued several years of contact with the group. Their interactions have included a dance challenge, support at an earlier Taiwan concert and an appearance together at an awards ceremony.

• 2023: Hsu filmed an UNFORGIVEN dance challenge with LE SSERAFIM members in South Korea.
• 2025: He sent a basket containing Taiwanese snacks and attended the group's Taiwan concert.
• January 2026: Hsu joined Kazuha and Eunchae for a dance segment at the Golden Disc Awards in Taipei.
• November 14 and 15, 2026: LE SSERAFIM held the two PUREFLOW concerts, with Hsu sending another snack filled flower basket.

Mayday also sent a congratulatory fruit and flower basket for the first concert, with a message reading, "Wishing the concert great success! GOOD SHOW!" Eunchae and Sakura both reposted it. It was the second consecutive year that Mayday had sent a basket. Together, the gifts added a visible welcome from Taiwanese entertainers to the support coming from the audience.

Organiser iMe TW prepared a separate backstage games room for the members to unwind, with claw machines, table football, a whack a mole game and capsule toy machines. A coffee truck was arranged backstage, and hot pot restaurant Wulao set up backstage to provide food for the group and its team.

Banners, an encore and a promise to return

The encore included Made My Night and ICONIC BY MISTAKE. The closing stretch also featured iffy iffy, No Celestial and Smart, as the members thanked fans for the two evenings and responded to banners wishing for LE SSERAFIM and FEARNOT to stay together for a long time.

Eunchae used Mandarin to invite spectators on the second, third and fourth levels to stand. She and Kazuha said that seeing people filling even the seats farther from the stage gave them energy. Their comments acknowledged fans across the venue, including those well beyond the floor area.

Chaewon thanked people who had come together despite not knowing one another. She said their united support made them seem like one team and expressed gratitude for the affection reaching the group across differences in language and distance.

Sakura recalled promising during the previous year's tour that they would meet again. Returning to the stage allowed her to fulfil that promise, and she closed her remarks with an expression of love for the audience.

For a group photograph, the members used their bodies to form TPE, the abbreviation representing Taipei. Kazuha was assigned the letter P through a game of rock paper scissors, adding a final playful moment to the farewell.

Kazuha then used Taiwanese to ask fans to wait for their return. Eunchae also said she hoped to come back, although no date for another Taipei concert was announced. The two nights ended with a shared wish to meet again after a visit that had connected arena performances with small, personal encounters around the city.
