LE SSERAFIM Returns with a New Emotional Sound in Mini Album 'HOT'

LE SSERAFIM has shed their intense image for a more emotional and lyrical sound with their latest release.

On the morning of the 14th, LE SSERAFIM held a showcase in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their fifth mini-album, 'HOT'. Member Huh Yunjin shared her thoughts on the title track, saying, "When I first heard 'HOT', it felt like a song with dual emotions. It's static yet dynamic, hot yet cold, and while it burns, it also feels like it's fading away."

She added, "From our debut album until now, we've chosen paths that best convey our message. This time, we selected a genre that captures our 'hot' image well. It has a vintage and retro feel, which is very different from our previous work. We've taken on a new challenge."

Kazuha revealed, "The melody is lyrical, but it was challenging to find a balance that wasn't too slow or too lively." Kim Chaewon expressed her hopes, saying, "We've done a lot of research and practice to show our best side. I hope this album proves that we can handle various genres and become a team with a broad spectrum."

Sakura discussed her goals for this promotion, stating, "I want to live each moment to the fullest so that my past self wouldn't regret seeing me today. By giving our best on stage, I hope we can make it onto the Billboard HOT 100 chart."

Kazuha added, "I want to hear people say, 'You have to see LE SSERAFIM on stage.' We have a world tour coming up, and I want to perform every stage perfectly."

Hong Eunchae confessed, "Our choreography includes a moonwalk. It was so difficult at first that I practiced moonwalking from the studio door to the wall." She added, "The final move involves tilting my head back. I'm worried about the ending pose being tough even before we start promoting." Huh Yunjin jokingly advised, "You should stretch your back well."

LE SSERAFIM's mini-album 'HOT' features five tracks that express the determination to give everything for what they love, even if the outcome is uncertain. The title track 'HOT' is their first to focus on love and is the most lyrical melody among their title tracks, blending rock and disco into a pop genre.

LE SSERAFIM's mini-album 'HOT' was released on various music platforms at 1 PM on the same day.
