The statement confirmed that Sakura would not appear at tonight’s concett, which marks LE SSERAFIM’s first solo concert in Paris. SOURCE MUSIC also apologised to fans who had been anticipating the show, acknowledging the disappointment caused by the last-minute announcement. The agency added that it would prioritise Sakura’s recovery and help her return in good health.
The concert is part of the group’s 2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR PUREFLOW, their second world tour, which began on July 11 at Incheon’s Inspire Arena in South Korea. Announced on April 28, the tour was initially scheduled to span 23 cities and 32 performances across Asia, North America and Europe. The European leg began at London’s O2 Arena on October 16, followed by Amsterdam on October 18, before the group arrived in Paris.
After the French date, the group will head to Copenhagen on October 23 and Berlin on October 26. However, SOURCE MUSIC’s announcement addresses only the Paris concert, and Sakura’s participation in the subsequent shows has not been confirmed.
The tour supports PUREFLOW Pt. 1, released on May 22 through SOURCE MUSIC under HYBE. The group’s second full-length studio album debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 with 41,000 equivalent album units, including 34,000 traditional album sales. It also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, giving LE SSERAFIM their fifth Top 10 album on the US chart.
