LOOK: LE SSERAFIM attends NBA game as LA Lakers guests

MANILA, Philippines – Girl group LE SSERAFIM made waves in the K-pop and basketball world as guests of NBA team LA Lakers. The quintet graced the Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday, November 1, to watch the Lakers vs. Clippers match. 

Prior to their appearance at the game, FEARNOTs – or fans of LE SSERAFIM – were already privy to a potential collaboration between the girl group and the basketball team. Speculations arose from Yunjin’s Instagram post showcasing customized Lakers jerseys with the members’ names and chosen numbers.

True to the group’s latest single “Perfect Night,” the night seemed perfect for fans of LE SSERAFIM and the LA Lakers alike. The Laker Girls performed the girl group’s song “ANTIFRAGILE,” while Lakers fans saw their team beat their 11-game losing streak against the LA Clippers.

Fans were also thrilled to see interactions between LE SSERAFIM and the team’s key players. The girls met Magic Johnson, the basketball team’s most accomplished point guard. Fans were quick to lightheartedly point out the height difference between the player and members of the girl group.
