[Comprehensive] Le Seraphim brings out his anxious inner self, “I’m aiming for the Hot 100 after filming Tokyo Dome.”

The group Le Seraphim (Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Heo Yun-jin, Kazuha and Hong Eun-chae) took off their confidence and sang with anxiety. Le Seraphim is aiming for the Billboard Hot 100 with changed music and message, and more powerful choreography than before.

Le Seraphim held a showcase commemorating the release of their third mini album 'EASY' at Hwajeong Gymnasium in Anam-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul at 2pm on the 19th.

On this day, Heo Yun-jin said about her first impression of the title song 'EASY', "I heard it for the first time while on a solo tour last year, and I liked it so much that I listened to it while washing, moving in the car, and listening to it all the time. This time, I want to aim for Billboard's 'Hot 100'. “There is,” he said, drawing attention.

Kim Chae-won also added, “As soon as I heard this song, I felt like I was tearing it up,” adding, “It’s a song that gives me a lot of satisfaction.” Kazuha emphasized, “When I first heard it, I thought, ‘This song is so hip.’ In the past, it was highly addictive, but this time, I found myself humming and singing along without realizing it. It has a subtle addictive quality.”

They all agreed that the choreography for this 'EASY' was "the most difficult ever." Sakura said, "'The choreography looks easy compared to Le Seraphim?' “You can do it, but it’s not easy at all,” he said. “Out of all the choreography I’ve done so far, it’s the most difficult.” He added, "It's an old school hip-hop genre, and groove and expression were important. We challenged a new style."

Hong Eun-chae also emphasized, "The dance is more powerful. It is relatively softer than previous performances. I had to bring all my strength to dance to show its power. I think I can confidently say that it is the most difficult performance of all time."

Le Seraphim, who previously showed a confident and confident appearance, sang with inner anxiety and concerns in this album. Sakura said, “After debuting, we received a lot of love, and I think there was pressure to always show a new side of ourselves. We are a group that puts our emotions into music, so we felt it was actually cool to honestly put our raw emotions into music.” He said.

Heo Yun-jin also said, “There may be people who ask, ‘Why has Le Seraphim changed so much?’ so we felt burdened, but we are a team that talks about who we are and what we actually want to talk about.” She added, “The comfort and emotion we can give is the more we are honest.” “I think it’s big. I also want people to feel close to Re Seraphim,” he emphasized.

Le Seraphim, who is approaching the second anniversary of his debut, also selected the most memorable moment during his career. Kim Chae-won said, “I was really proud when I received the award for my performance at the year-end awards ceremony,” and Kazuha said, “I remember when we did our first tour. We could feel that so many people were supporting us even from far away.” “He said. Sakura emphasized, “Last year, we had a fan meeting and it was my birthday, so they wrote me a surprise letter, so I have a lot of happy memories.”

Hong Eun-chae said, "Le Seraphim released their first full-length album last year. We worked hard to prepare all the songs, so I was really proud when 'Unforgiven' was released," and Heo Yun-jin said, "I went to New York at the time of 'Perfect Night' and saw them in Times Square. “I was really happy to have us in the commercial,” he recalled.

Regarding attending America's largest music festival 'Coachella Music and Arts Festival' in April, Le Seraphim said, "I have dreamed of 'when will I be able to do something like that' while looking at Blackpink seniors, and I am amazed and honored that the opportunity has come sooner than I expected." “It still doesn’t feel real,” he said with a smile, “I think this is an opportunity to promote our team better, so I’m preparing hard.”

“Rather than receiving recognition for our Le Seraphim through this ‘Coachella,’ I think it reflects our expectations for the future,” said Sakura. Regarding her future goals, she said, “Personally, I was very happy to see Heo Yun-jin perform on stage at Tokyo Dome. Tokyo Dome. “I want to perform Le Seraphim in .”
