Overview
- Le Sserafim released its second full-length album Pureflow Pt. 1 on Friday, May 22, 2026, led by the Latin-house single "Boompala," which samples Los del Río’s 1993 hit "Macarena."
- The group says the record reframes its original "fearless" brand into the line "For we are not fearless, and therefore powerful," treating fear as a path to resilience.
- Leader Kim Chae-won is sitting out promotions while she recovers from a neck injury and the four remaining members have handled media interviews and early performances.
- Members took a bigger creative role on the 11-track LP, with Kazuha earning her first songwriting credit on "Trust Exercise" and other members credited on prerelease "Celebration."
- The album arrives after heavy criticism of the group's Coachella 2024 set and sets a more deliberate, member-driven direction that the act will carry onto an expanded world tour that includes European stops such as the Netherlands.
