As Source Music previously announced, LE SSERAFIM’s comeback with “SPAGHETTI” has been officially released at 1 p.m. on October 24. This release drew significant attention from both ARMY and the wider music scene thanks to the participation of j-hope.
The title track “SPAGHETTI” blends LE SSERAFIM’s rough, powerful vocals — showcasing a new side of the group — with j-hope’s stylish rap, creating a sonically captivating experience.
Speaking about the song, the group shared: “There are foods you may dislike at first, but the more you eat them, the more you can’t stop. At some point, you start to wonder whether you actually like them or not — and then you find yourself addicted. ‘SPAGHETTI’ captures that same exciting and α∂∂ι¢тινє feeling, just like the irresistible charm of LE SSERAFIM. We hope everyone falls for our ‘spaghetti-like allure!’”
In the same interview, the members also opened up for the first time about their feelings working directly with global K-pop superstar j-hope, a senior artist they have long admired. Although they had previously filmed short dance challenges with him, this was the first time they worked together closely on an actual music project.
Kim Chaewon began: “We were truly lucky to have the chance to talk with our senior. He told us, ‘The song is so good that I wanted to be part of it — and I’ll always support you.’ Those words gave us so much motivation.”
Sakura added: “I still remember getting goosebumps when I first heard his recorded version. It was incredible — thanks to him, the song shines even brighter. I’m deeply grateful and will never forget that moment.”
Meanwhile, Huh Yunjin said: “Last year, I was honored to participate in your album, and this time, it was truly meaningful and I'm so grateful that he joined our song. He became the perfect ‘kick’ for the track.”
As Yunjin mentioned, their musical connection began last year when she featured on j-hope’s “i don’t know” from his special album Hope On The Street Vol.1, released in March. This time, j-hope returned the favor by taking part in LE SSERAFIM’s new single — a testament to the close bond and mutual support among artists under the same label.
Following the interview, Kazuha emphasized the members’ admiration for j-hope’s artistry: “When we all listened to his recording together, everyone went, ‘That’s amazing!’ The feeling is still fresh in my mind. We’re so thankful that he made the song even more explosive.”
Finally, the youngest member Eunchae concluded: “It was such a great honor just to be able to work with such a respected senior. In particular, you repeatedly told me how great this song was, which gave me great confidence and strength during the preparation process. Thank you again, so much.”
The members’ heartfelt words highlight the depth of j-hope’s contribution to LE SSERAFIM’s comeback. His participation served not only as a musical “boost” but also as an emotional inspiration for the group — young artists striving to define their own identity and push beyond K-pop’s boundaries.
From the moment the collaboration was announced, fans were both surprised and thrilled — it marked the first time a BTS member officially featured on a girl group’s track. When “SPAGHETTI” finally dropped, LE SSERAFIM and j-hope certainly did not disappoint!
True to the group’s description of it as “a dish you can’t refuse,” the track combines pop-funk and alternative pop elements for a sound that feels “gritty yet α∂∂ι¢тινє,” while the music video visually embo∂ιєs the song’s theme with bold imagery and unforgettable choreography.
Overall, “SPAGHETTI” and its MV mark a daring artistic leap for LE SSERAFIM — retaining the group’s fierce and confident spirit while embracing j-hope’s distinct Jack In The Box energy: controlled chaos, wild energy sculpted into art. This comeback stands as one of the group’s most striking and successful evolutions yet.
