LE SSERAFIM raised the comeback atmosphere by releasing the music video for the new song 'ANTIFRAGILE' on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel at 8:30 PM IST on the 16th. Here are some amazing aspects of the song and MV:- 

1. The music video 

This music video uses the impact of meteorites as the main material, unraveling the meaning of 'antifragile', which means that the more you hit them, the stronger they get. One day, the breaking news that a meteorite is rushing towards the Earth suddenly pops up and people panic. However, LE SSERAFIM members spend the day at their own pace, as if there is nothing to a meteorite. The way they boldly go out into the streets and enjoy what they want to do gives them a sense of will to face any ordeal confidently.

2. The lyrics 

The basis of LE SSERAFIM's music is the sincere thoughts and feelings of the members. With their debut album 'FEARLESS', LE SSERAFIM showed their will to move forward without fear without being swayed by the world's gaze. In the new album 'ANTIFRAGILE', following the 'desire' to become the best, they start a journey that no one has been able to go through and then continues the narrative of the group by talking about the trials they faced. The lyrics of the title song 'ANTIFRAGILE', "Don't forget the pointe shoes I left behind, don't need more words/ Don't ignore the career I walked" is a song that only Kazuha, who has performed ballet for 15 years, and Kim Chaewon and Sakura, who have experience in activities, can sing. In addition, Yunjin participated in three songs including 'Impurities', 'No Celestial' and 'Good Parts’, while Sakura took part in 'Good Part’.

3. The members 

LE SSERAFIM members carried the concept of the song extremely well- girl crush and elegant at the same time. A very Gen-Z type concept, the girls were a riot through the song!  made a proper mark on K-pop fans around the world with their sophisticated and powerful performances. They performed splendid group dances in various spaces such as hip alleys and half-collapsed buildings. They robbed the attention of people with addictive choreography, such as movements that showed strength using arm muscles, and dances depicting grace and power.


ANTIFRAGILE: 

LE SSERAFIM's 2nd mini album 'ANTIFRAGILE' has surpassed 600,000 pre-orders as of October 14th. This is a figure that far exceeds the total pre-order of 380,000 copies of the debut album 'FEARLESS'. They debuted in May this year and have shown incredible growth. It is unbelievable that they are rookies who are about to release their second album. The teaser contents of the new album also created a big sensation upon release. The teaser content of the new album, such as the album trailer, track sampler, highlight medley, and music video teaser, exceeded 10 million views as of 1PM KST on October 16th. As such, LE SSERAFIM, who has proven their remarkable popularity even before their comeback, is expected to achieve results that exceed their debut album through their new album.
