The next song, GILA GILA,'' welcomed rapper JP THE WAVY and gave a performance full of energy, changing the lyrics from the original to Coachella-style lyrics, saying,What's the point now that we're performing at Coachella?''

LE SSERAFIM’s performance that sparked buzz and the special outfits by LOUIS VUITTON.

On April 13th, LE SSERAFIM took the stage at the Coachella Festival. The camera captured Yunjin in a sleeveless jacket with red hair as she asked in Japanese, "Does it bother you that I’ve got another chance?" while the band played live. The performance kicked off with "Good Bones" from their third mini-album. That day, LE SSERAFIM performed on the Sahara Stage, the third largest at Coachella, attracting a crowd too large to fit.

They achieved the milestone of being the fastest Korean artist to have a solo performance on the same stage where BLACKPINK, as the first K-pop girl group, made their Coachella debut in 2019.

The unveiling of their new song "1-800-HOT & FUN" and the performance of "UNFORGIVEN," the title track from their first album featuring legendary guitarist Nile Rodgers, were expected to be the highlights. However, the audience passionately sang along during "Perfect Night" in the latter half of the show. While the performance garnered much attention, the stage outfits specially designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, the Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, also drew significant spotlight.

In April 2023, LE SSERAFIM performed at the after-party for the Louis Vuitton 2023 Women's Pre-Fall Collection held at the Jamshugyo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea. In October of the same year, the group became ambassadors for Louis Vuitton. Since then, the members have been seen in the brand's attire across various media, raising expectations for their stage costumes at this major event.
