Antifragile

Easy
After Unforgiven, Le Sserafim released their latest EP, Easy, with a contrasting theme. The group leader, Lee Chae Won, unveiled the theme of the mini album in a press conference, sharing: “Easy is all about frankly talking about the worries and uneasiness that lies behind the confident side of Le Sserafim.” Another member, Kazuha, noted that their latest album shows behind-the-scenes stories of Le Sserafim’s bright stage persona.
“We are revealing that we are not natural born and that we’ve been working hard backstage. The album expresses Le Sserafim’s blood, sweat, and tears,” she said. The mini-album consisted of five tracks in which Le Sserafim explored their complex emotions and revealed a vulnerable side of the group.
The mini album also showed Le Sserafim’s growing popularity worldwide. It reached number one on South Korea’s Circle Album Chart with over 1,067,016 unit sales. It also sold over 34,000 copies in the United States and ranked number 8 on Billboard 200.
Perfect Night
Le Sserafim released their English single, “Perfect Night,” for Overwatch 2. The track reflected the understated charm of the group’s vocals and garnered over 79 million streams since its release on YouTube.
The non-album single made a mark on global charts, ranking at number 18 on Billboard US World, and became their number one track on the Circle Digital Chart. The song stayed on the top of the Circle Digital chart for six weeks.
