LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE are officially joining forces in a high-impact collaboration that is already sending K-Pop fans into a frenzy.

On the 8th, SOURCE MUSIC, BELIFT LAB, and HYBE-Geffen Records announced via the global superfan platform Weverse that the three groups will release their joint digital single 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' on June 12 at 1 p.m.

The surprise logo motion video dropped the same day flipped the mood from a serene, feather-filled vibe to a sudden shock with the punchy line "I'm iconic by mistake," teasing a bold new sonic shift.

This power project stands out as a meeting of three distinct strengths: LE SSERAFIM's commanding performance prowess, ILLIT's trend-setting appeal, and KATSEYE's proven impact in the U.S. mainstream market. Each act has been charting high on Billboard's main charts and hitting career highs—raising expectations for the explosive impact their combined force will deliver.

Fans reacted instantly, saying, "I'm so excited," "I like all three groups," and "This is going to be fun," among other enthusiastic comments.

Meanwhile, ahead of the single's release, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE will make their first-ever joint appearance on Mnet's M Countdown on the 11th to premiere their collaborative stage.
