Le Sserafim to drop new studio album next month

By Shim Sun-ah

SEOUL, April 13 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group Le Sserafim will release its second studio album, "Pureflow pt. 1," next month, the group and its agency said Monday.

The quintet announced on the K-pop fan community platform Weverse that the new record will drop May 22 at 1 p.m. (Korean time) through major online music services.

"Pureflow pt. 1" marks Le Sserafim's first full-length album in nearly three years, following "Unforgiven" in 2023. The release delves into the change and growth experienced by its five members through confronting fear and finding strength, according to the agency, Source Music.

It said Le Sserafim, which debuted in 2022 with the message "We are strong because we have no fear," now offers a more mature perspective -- that understanding fear has made them even stronger -- on the upcoming album.

Ahead of the album's release, the group will unveil the lead single, "Celebration," on April 24, a song about celebrating the moment it gained the strength to embrace change.

Le Sserafim earned global recognition last October when its first single album, "Spaghetti," landed at No. 50 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and No. 46 on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100.
