“ICONIC BY MISTAKE” was released on June 12, 2026 as a three-way collaboration digital single by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT, and KATSEYE — all under the HYBE Music Group umbrella — via Source Music, Belift Lab, and HYBE x Geffen Records.
The music video, directed by Cody Critcheloe and shot by DOP Ben Carey, premiered on June 10 and blends goth, psychedelic, and hyperpop visuals across chaotic settings including highway crashes, a cemetery, a dentist’s office, and a burning cornfield. KATSEYE member Manon did not participate due to a health-related hiatus since February 2026. The song’s lyrics directly address the internet hate each group has faced, reframing criticism as the engine of their iconic status.
Hating me is like all you do, breakfast to dinner
Algorithm bulletproof, b-breaking your fingers
Thank you for the comments, it’s because of all your hate
I-I-I-I-I-I-I am iconic by mistake
I-I-I-I-I-I-I am iconic by mistake
