So, how many times have we sang out "Eat it up, eat it, eat it" today? LE SSERAFIM are back with their first single album Spaghetti and the title track features the unstoppable force that is BTS's j-hope. Together, they've created a lively, track ready to be eaten up. And that's not all the music video also stars the iconic South Korean drag queen, NANA. 

Today the girls gave Teen Vogue an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the music video for their highly-anticipated new single, Spaghetti, which features BTS member j-Hope. Members of the quintet spoke with Editor-at-Large Sara Delgado about this epic collaboration and how the music video came together.

Besides the title track the EP features an English and Korean version alongside the B-side "Pearlies (My Oyster Is The World)."  The music video itself is, well, a whole meal in itself. The girls gave Teen Vogue an exclusive insight into how the video came together with the full behind-the-scenes HERE. Below are a few highlights from their chat with Sara Delgado. 

 

Sakura:

“[This song] captures LE SSERAFIM’s charm that pulls you in — like spaghetti strands you just can’t escape from,” Sakura tells Teen Vogue. “I especially love the lyric 'Just give up, you know you will eat it up,' and the corresponding choreography, where I throw my hand up. I think that bold movement perfectly embodies the song’s cheeky and playful message.”

 

“It feels new, but still so very LE SSERAFIM,” Sakura adds. “We tried so many styles for the first time, and I hope it captures what’s truly 'us' — a mix of fun, coolness, and a touch of kitsch. Personally, I love when we perform with big smiles on our faces, so I’m especially excited for [this one].”

Hong Eunchae:

“We wanted the visuals to capture the feeling of being stuck in one’s brain, like spaghetti stuck in one’s teeth," Eunchae adds. "We paid close attention to the smallest details in the outfits, adding different elements and texture to give the looks a lingering, ‘stuck-in-your-teeth’ feeling you just can’t ignore.”

 

“Since this was our first food-related concept, I got to experiment acting out a lot of eating scenes. There were quite a few involving tomatoes — even though they’re honestly not my favorite, the scenes themselves made the experience all the more fun and memorable,” Eunchae says.

Kazuha:

“For this album, we explored a lot of fun and daring visuals — new hairstyles, bold accessories like tooth gems, and vibrant nail art. I wanted those elements to amplify my attitude on stage and express a stronger, more fearless side of myself,” Kazuha says.

 

Kim Chaewon:

“The red group outfit [is our favorite],” Chaewon adds, “I think it best captures the spirit of [the song.]” Sakura continues: “I’ve always loved coordinated looks, and I think it fits the track’s concept like a glove. It was also my first time having a bob since debuting as LE SSERAFIM, and I feel the outfit’s kitschy vibe really matched my new look.”

Huh Yunjin:

“He is an artist that I deeply admire and respect, so hearing that he gladly accepted to feature on this track absolutely blew my mind,” Yunjin says. “He captured the message of the song perfectly and brought a kick that only he could ever deliver. We are so thankful for this opportunity.”

 

“This comeback really shows how much we’ve grown as a team — stronger and more united than ever,” Yunjin continues, prompting fans to look out for their “choreography and expressions.”

 

“This song is a reminder of what LE SSERAFIM is all about,” Yunjin proclaims. “Even if it’s not to everyone’s taste, we keep doing what we love — with fearless confidence and style.”
