With the release of their May debut EP FEARLESS, LE SSERAFIM showed their determination to move forward with unswerving fearlessness in the eyes of the world. ANTIFRAGILE continues this story of LE SSERAFIM. The album depicts the hardships the members have faced during their journey of pursuing their aspiration to rise to the top and embark on a road that hasn’t been taken.

The lead single of the EP with the same title is an Afro-Latin style of the pop genre with a hard-hitting Latin rhythm. “ANTIFRAGILE” carries a message of accepting hard times as a motivation for growth and reasserting one’s determination to become stronger. The lyrics “Don’t forget my pointe shoes I left behind / What more must be said” are the ones only Kazuha, who has done ballet for fifteen years, as well as Kim Chaewon and Sakura, who have had years of experience prior to LE SSERAFIM in the industry, can sing.

Huh Yunjin participated in the lyric-writing of three tracks on the new EP—‘Impurities’, ‘No Celestial’, and ‘Good Parts’ (when the quality is bad but I am), while Sakura was featured on the credit for ‘Good Parts’ (when the quality is bad but I am).

The music video employs a motif of meteorite and collisions to represent the meaning behind ANTIFRAGILE which conveys ‘what doesn’t destroy you, makes you stronger’. Unfazed by the falling meteorite, LE SSERAFIM go about their day at their own pace. The members come out to the streets full of confidence and enjoy doing what they want, showing their strong will to face any hardships that may come their way with fearlessness. Additionally, the video boasts LE SSERAFIM’s charismatic, top-notch performance. The arm-heavy choreography symbolizes strength while the movements that imitate a cat adds an alluring feel to the overall performance.

Following the highly successful debut EP, LE SSERAFIM released their second EP ANTIFRAGILE on October 17, 2022.
