LE SSERAFIM, Second Japanese Single 'UNFORGIVEN' to be Released on August 23rd
The group LE SSERAFIM (consisting of members Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Heo Yoonjin, Kazha, and Hong Eunchae) will be releasing their second Japanese single, 'UNFORGIVEN,' in August.
On the 20th, at midnight, LE SSERAFIM posted a new logo image for the upcoming single on their official team SNS, utilizing Viva Magenta, the color of the year announced by the renowned color research institute, Pantone.
The single will include a total of three songs, including the title track 'UNFORGIVEN (feat. Nile Rodgers)' released in May, the Japanese version of the title track 'ANTIFRAGILE' from their mini-album released in October last year, and a new song featuring a collaboration with a local artist.
LE SSERAFIM's first full-length album, 'UNFORGIVEN,' achieved remarkable success, topping major charts in Japan such as Oricon and Billboard Japan, and exceeding cumulative shipments of 100,000 copies. It also obtained a 'Gold' certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
In particular, as LE SSERAFIM is gaining popularity as a leading 4th generation girl group in Japan, expectations are high for their upcoming release. With their debut single 'FEARLESS,' released earlier this year, they set a new record by topping the Oricon chart for K-pop girl groups' debut albums (first-week sales). Furthermore, the album surpassed 500,000 shipments as of February, becoming the first Japanese debut single by a K-pop group or foreign female artist to be selected for the Recording Industry Association of Japan's 'Double Platinum' ranking.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM's first full-length album continues to receive much love. The track 'Eve, Psyche, and the Blue Bearded Wife' demonstrated strong support by ranking 3rd on the daily charts of Bugs, Melon, and Genie on the 18th.
