HYBE’s LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE surprised fans with the release of “ICONIC BY MISTAKE,” a collaborative single and music video that brings together three of the label’s most distinctive girl groups.
“ICONIC BY MISTAKE” is an alternative pop track driven by powerful beats and hard-hitting production. The song features an addictive hook, unexpected sonic twists, and playful lyricism that captures a snapshot of modern pop culture. At its core, the track rejects the idea that true influence can be manufactured. Instead, it celebrates the unfiltered charisma, relentless passion, and individuality each group has built through years of dedication.
The visual opens with racing cars, blaring sirens, and roaring engines. Undeterred by the chaos around them, the members of LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE move forward together—embodying a fearless girl-power spirit. As tension escalates toward a dramatic final crash, the groups unite for a commanding performance, amplifying the track’s explosive message.
“ICONIC BY MISTAKE” is out now on all streaming platforms, alongside the official music video. For fans of any (or all) three groups, this is a must-listen. For the groups themselves, it’s a statement: icons aren’t made by following rules. Sometimes, they happen by mistake.
