The girl group LE SSERAFIM had a lot of faith in their new album.

On October 17, at 1 p.m., a media showcase was held at the Centennial Memorial Hall of Yonsei University's Sinchon Campus in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of LE SSRAFIM's second mini album, "ANTIFRAGILE."

The message of "ANTIFRAGILE" is that you will get stronger and grow more when you go through hard times.

Even before it came out, this album was getting a lot of attention because it was the first album the group made as a five-member group after Kim Garam quit because of the school bullying scandal.

At the showcase, LE SSERAFIM was asked how they felt after the group members had been switched around. In response, the members couldn't answer right away and had cautious looks on their faces.

After a few moments of silence, the leader Kim Chaewon took the microphone and spoke on behalf of the group.

She said, "We worked just as hard on the first album and this second mini-album. We wanted to come back with a stronger look, and we thought the most important thing was to put on good shows for the fans who had been waiting for us. We spent more time rehearsing and recording songs".

LE SSERAFIM's second mini-album is called "ANTIFRAGILE." It has 5 tracks, including "The Hydra," which says that the girls will never fall, "ANTIFRAGILE," which says that you are determined to use trials as a way to grow, "Impurities," which shows the part of yourself with scars and darkness, "No Celestial," which says that they are not angels or goddesses from the sky but those who are with you every step on Earth (a song about the humble and lacking side of oneself).

On October 17 at 6 p.m., the album will be available on several online music sites.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
