Group LE SSERAFIM (LE SSERAFIM) returns with deeper music, signaling the start of a new chapter.

LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Huh Yun-jin, Kazuha, Hong Eun-chae) recently held an interview to commemorate the release of their second full-length album 'PUREFLOW pt.1' at a cafe in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. On this day, member Kim Chae-won could not attend due to a neck injury.

'PUREFLOW pt.1' is an album that captures the changes and growth that came with learning about fear. LE SSERAFIM, who took their first steps in the music industry declaring "there is no fear," now delivers a new message: "Because we know fear, we can become even stronger."

This album comes about three years after their 2023 release 'UNFORGIVEN'. As it is their first full-length album in a long time, it features a total of 11 tracks across various genres, including the title track 'BOOMPALA'. The title track 'BOOMPALA' is a Latin house song that samples 'Macarena' to create a strong addictive quality.

Huh Yun-jin stated, "I am so happy to be able to return after three years. With 11 tracks included this time, we were able to cover not only various genres but also tell various stories. We are looking forward to it greatly, and we are also looking forward to how FEARLESS (the fandom name) will receive it."

Hong Eun-chae shared, "I realized the preciousness of a full-length album. I am deeply grateful to those who seek out and listen to our songs. This gratitude is the greatest album."

The album's completion level was further elevated by the members' active participation in not only album planning but also lyric writing and composition. Sakura explained, "My level of participation increased compared to our first full-length album. While recording, I was able to express various voices, and I could express more sounds than before."

Kazuha said, "In the early days of debut, it felt like I was just working hard with my eyes on the front, but through this album, I thought about what kind of image I wanted to show and prepared it fun. Huh Yun-jin confidently added, "It is an album that contains more diverse musical feelings than the first full-length album, and the members' expressiveness stands out even more."

Furthermore, Huh Yun-jin revealed, "I participated from the initial planning stage. While we have told many autobiographical stories so far, this time we pondered 'What story can only we tell?' We captured the team's relationships and solidarity, friendship, and the bonds that have become even stronger through activities, as well as stories about fear, through sincere conversations."

Sakura elaborated, "'Spaghetti' received great love, and there were moments when I felt the burden of having to do better this time. We realized that the fears felt by the members were similar to each other, and by sharing them, we became even more reliant on one another. Through that process, we became stronger, and this message is contained in this album."

Regarding the production process of the track 'Two Trust Axle Size', Kazuha stated, "It was a challenge I was trying for the first time. We recorded freestyle with only the track available, so it was awkward and I was very nervous, so I worked while trembling."

She continued, "It was fun to see the process of creating a good song directly, and I thought I wanted to do it a lot in the future. Seeing the members take bold actions gave me courage."

Hong Eun-chae also shared her experience participating in choreography production. He said, "It has been a dream to be involved in choreography production for a long time. It was also a field I was interested in, and it felt like a new chapter for the team, so I wanted to help and participated. Although it was not adopted, I want to keep trying in the future."

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM's second full-length album 'PUREFLOW pt.1' will be released at 1 p.m. on the 22nd.
