LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE are getting ready to release their collaborative digital single “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” on June 12, 2026. On June 9, HYBE labels shared a new set of tease photos through the girl groups’ official social media accounts, showing each quintet standing against a fiery backdrop while highlighting their individual styles and fierce charisma. The sneak-peeks quickly drew attention from fans of all three girl bands, who are getting together for the biggest collaborative project this year.
A music video preview was released a day earlier, offering fans a short look at the song’s melody and aesthetic concept. According to the agency, the project was designed to create a special summer experience for global fans and will include a high-quality performance along with additional promotional content. The collaboration is expected to show strong “girl power” energy by combining the different identities of these rising groups.
