LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE shocked viewers by sharing one stage on a music show.
The three teams delivered a special collaboration of the single 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' on the June 11 broadcast of Mnet M Countdown.
Each group entered in sequence to match the song's progression, spotlighting their distinct vibes while flowing seamlessly into one narrative. Charismatic LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT with a darker mood yet bubbly energy, and KATSEYE with powerful gestures — their unique colors clicked perfectly.
Notably, the segment used pre-recorded footage filmed before LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon paused activities, letting fans finally see her back on stage.
Reactions blew up online: "I thought a big joint stage would be goofy, but it worked," "Group project dream team," and "Elite visual squad." Others were divided, saying, "The song feels a bit underwhelming," "KATSEYE dominated," and "Not sure what the planning intent was."
Meanwhile, the 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' track drops on June 12 at 1 p.m.
