Fans were thrilled when ILLIT shared a surprise photo featuring members of LE SSERAFIM and KATSEYE, marking the first time all three HYBE girl groups were seen together in one picture.

The photo was posted on ILLIT’s official social media on April 22 and is believed to have been taken backstage at LE SSERAFIM’s recent concert. On April 20, LE SSERAFIM kicked off their 2025 world tour, titled 'EASY CRAZY HOT,' at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. ILLIT and KATSEYE attended the show as audience members to support their labelmates.

The image shows all three groups posing affectionately, radiating warm and cheerful energy. Fans were excited to see familiar faces all in one frame—Kim Garam, Hong Eunchae, Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Kazuha and Huh Yunjin from LE SSERAFIM; Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha from ILLIT; and Daniella, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae from KATSEYE. The idols smiled brightly, flashing peace signs and hearts, showing off their closeness and chemistry.

What stood out the most was how each group expressed their own style and personality. LE SSERAFIM wore their bold and glamorous stage outfits, while ILLIT kept it playful and cute with their casual everyday looks. KATSEYE showed off a cool and chic fashion sense, each member exuding confidence in their own way.

All three groups belong to the HYBE family. LE SSERAFIM is under Source Music, ILLIT is signed with BELIFT LAB, and KATSEYE is part of HYBE’s collaboration with HYBE UMG. This wasn’t the only sweet moment shared between the teams—LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin previously posted another group photo of all the girls standing in a circle and reaching their hands toward the center, showing just how close they’ve become.

During the concert, LE SSERAFIM took time to address the audience with heartfelt words. Reflecting on the challenges they’ve faced over the past year, the members grew emotional, thanking their fans for staying with them through everything. “You could have walked away, but you stayed with us and came back,” they said, holding back tears. “We’re truly grateful.”

It’s a rare and touching moment for fans to see this kind of unity and mutual support across groups. The photo is more than just a snapshot—it’s a glimpse into the growing bond among HYBE’s rising stars.
