AceShowbiz - The K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is set to release their highly anticipated second studio album, PUREFLOW pt. 1, on May 22. This announcement was made public via their official Weverse platform on Sunday, April 12, alongside the reveal of their lead single, CELEBRATION, which will be available starting April 24.

LE SSERAFIM began hinting at their comeback earlier in the month, teasing fans with a mysterious Instagram post on April 7 featuring the hashtag #TimeToCelebrate. The cryptic message sparked excitement and curiosity among their followers, with many eagerly questioning the nature of the celebration and others expressing relief and enthusiasm with comments like "Finally."

Alongside the release details, the group shared a conceptual video across their social media and HYBE's YouTube channel. The clip features the phrase "For we are not fearless, and therefore powerful," with the word "powerful" morphing into PUREFLOW. This empowering message is also echoed in the post’s caption, reflecting the thematic direction of their upcoming work.

PUREFLOW pt. 1 will follow up on LE SSERAFIM’s 2023 debut studio album, UNFORGIVEN, and marks their first album release since the 2025 single SPAGHETTI, which featured BTS’s j-hope. Since debuting in 2022 with the EP FEARLESS, the group has made significant strides in the music scene. They have performed on major stages such as the MTV VMAs, EMAs, and Coachella 2024, while also achieving notable chart success on the Billboard 200.

Their second EP, ANTIFRAGILE, debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, marking the group’s first appearance on the chart. Meanwhile, their first full-length album UNFORGIVEN reached a peak position of number 6 in May 2023, earning them their first top 10 placement.

Fans of LE SSERAFIM can look forward to a fresh chapter in the group's discography with PUREFLOW pt. 1, expected to showcase their evolving artistry and powerful presence in K-pop. The lead single CELEBRATION will serve as the first glimpse into this new era when it drops on April 24.
