LE SSERAFIM’S HUH YUNJIN TO HOST STAN:A’S FIRST ENGLISH-LANGUAGE SERIES HMM
Following STAN:A’s chart-topping run on Spotify’s Podcast charts across major global markets, HYBE is set to launch HMM, a brand-new series hosted by HUH YUNJIN of LE SSERAFIM.
A play on “Huh’s Memo” and the familiar “hmm” that comes with a moment of reflection, HMM will premiere its debut episode on September 7 at 6 AM ET / 7 PM KST exclusively on Spotify, followed by its YouTube release on September 10 at 6 AM ET / 7 PM KST. The eight-episode video podcast series will roll out every other Monday across STAN:A’s Spotify and YouTube channels.
Framed as a listening essay, HMM highlights HUH YUNJIN’s personal notes, observations and late-night thoughts, bringing her candid voice and expressive storytelling to a new format. Shifting the spotlight from her dynamic stage persona to the thoughts and experiences that shape her beyond the stage, the show explores relatable themes such as daily routines, dreams and creative passion. Through her own stories and reflections, HMM offers listeners a closer look at HUH YUNJIN as both an artist and a young woman navigating creativity, identity, and everyday life.
In the debut episode, HUH YUNJIN reflects on her own journey from growing up in the U.S. to discovering her passion for songwriting, sharing what she would tell her younger self about creative anxiety, self-acceptance, and confidence. “I’ve been wanting to do a podcast for the longest time. I finally have made this dream come true,” she shares in the premiere, underscoring the personal significance of HMM for the artist. Ahead of the launch, the series unveiled a trailer across STAN:A’s official social media channels.
HMM also marks STAN:A’s first series conducted entirely in English, allowing HUH YUNJIN to connect directly with listeners around the world in a language she grew up speaking. The English-language format adds another dimension to the series’ personal nature, giving her room to share stories and ideas in her own voice with global audiences.
STAN:A brings fans closer to artists through original, artist-led storytelling. Since its launch earlier this year with the hit series featuring ENHYPEN’s The Blood Diary and SEVENTEEN’s STAN [SEVENTEEN], STAN:A has emerged as a global hit, becoming the first Korean-produced podcast channel to top Spotify’s Podcast charts across major markets including the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Australia.
The launch of HMM comes as LE SSERAFIM gear up for the release of their second single, Made My Night, on September 10 at 11 AM ET / September 11 at 12 AM KST. Ahead of the release, the group have unveiled concept photos and films, a track sampler, and previews offering an early listen to the new music. They have also announced a second music video collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch, following their 2023 collaboration on global hit “Perfect Night.” The release arrives ahead of the group’s September 13 headlining performance at BlizzCon® 2026, where they will return to the gaming festival three years after becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at BlizzCon in 2023. The group will then launch the North American leg of their ‘2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘PUREFLOW’’ in Los Angeles on September 16.
