1. Overview
A five-member multinational girl group from Source Music that debuted on May 2, 2022. It is the first girl group launched by HYBE and its label Source Music in cooperation.
2. Group name
Until the group name was decided, the Source Music debut group was called Team S, and the group name "LESSERAFIM" was named by HYBE's Bang Si-hyuk to make it into anagram.In the Old Testament, the first thing angels said when they appeared in front of humans under God's command was "Don't be afraid." LESSERAFIM is the name of "IM FEARLESS" in anagram way, and implies "self-confidence and strong will to move forward without fear without being swayed by the eyes of the world." Group name video. Seraphim is the Hebrew plural of the Chi Angel, the highest level of the ninth level of the Angel's class mentioned in Christianity and the Old Testament, and the etymology means "burning people". They are said to have six wings (originally a six-member group), and played a role in purifying those who worship God with their flames as "eosa that serves God right next to them." And LE is a male singular definite article in French. Therefore, the English name is LE SSERAFIM, which is the official residence LE and SSERAFIM, but the Korean name is attached with 'Le Serafim' rather than 'Le Serafim'. However, the word "sserafim" originally does not exist, Seraphim is a plural noun of seraph, which means dental angel, and there are foreigners who naturally recognize it as "Lesserafim" because the French LES is a plural official. However, because serafim is not French, Les Ségraphins (Lesseraphin) is to be preciseIt is true that. Since Les' pronunciation is "Le," in fact, in search engines that support automatic translation, if you search for Le Seraphim, you may recognize it as a wrong expression or it may appear as "Les Seraphim" in the search word. When you search for "Le Seraphim" on YouTube, the related search word does not appear as "Le Seraphim" but appears as "Le Seraphim," but there is a video explaining the cause. In addition, famous audio YouTube, such as the video, misrepresented it as LeceraFim. The reason for this error is that the word "LESSERAFIM" did not exist in the past and was newly created because of the sentence "I'M FEARLESS". These spelling mistakes or variations are not necessarily negative. If you bring an existing word and use it as it is when branding something, you will not be criticized as a wrong expression, but when you search for a brand in a search engine, it can be eroded by information about the original word and interfere with the general public's search or information. For this reason, "LESSERAFIM" may be a good brand name in that it is a unique spelling that is not commonly combined in other languages, as deliberately going through some spelling variations in the actual commercial field is commonly attempted in terms of branding.
3. the world view
Apart from LESSERAFIM's webtoon and novel worldview, Crimson Heart, there is also an album storytelling concept. Members who will run the LESSERAFIM brand runway at CASTING CALL, which features the angel number "326-8469" in the promotion of their first mini-album FEARLESS, followed by a runway on the 2022 "FEARLESS" trailer for their second mini-album ANTIFRAGILE HYD.
4. Since our debut
Source Music was preparing to debut as a boy group after the launch of girl group GFRIEND, but was acquired by Big Hit Entertainment in 2019 and reborn as a label specializing in girl groups. Later, in collaboration with Min Hee-jin HYBECBO, trainees were selected through a plus global audition that began in September 2019 to debut a girl group in 2021, but it was canceled due to COVID-19. Instead, Miyawaki Sakura and Kim Chae-won, who were members of the girl group IZ*ONE, who ended their activities in 2021, were recruited to start preparing for the girl group launch anew. Yoon Seok-joon, co-chairman of Big Hit at the time in 2019, said, "There are no female singers in Big Hit, but it is not intentional. Given that the new girl group "IZ*ONE" recently set a record for initial sales of girl group albums, I think female groups are as likely as male groups," Big Hit Entertainment (currently HYBE) was also closely watching the popularity of IZ*ONE members. And as this prediction hit the mark, Le Seraphim also set a new record. Leader Kim Chae-won was the first to join the debut group at the end of June 2021, and Sakura joined the debut group for the second time after reports that he finished all related group activities after the HKT48 graduation concert in June. Since then, his contract with Japanese agency Vernalossom expired on November 1, 2021. Heo Yoon-jin, who returned from the U.S., joined for the third time, and Kim Ga-ram joined for the fourth time in the summer of 2021. Kazha was selected through an online audition for Source Music in 2021 and has been training in the Netherlands since November before entering the country in January 2022 to join for the fifth time. Two days later, Hong Eun-chae, who was finally selected from among the existing trainees at Source Music, joined the team for the last time on January 20 [16] LESSERAFIM's debut group was completed. It is the first girl group in about seven years since the six-member girl group GFRIEND, which debuted in 2015 at Source Music in 2015. Source Music has collaborated with Big Hit Entertainment to create a girl group in the past, but it is the first girl group to launch in collaboration since the launch of HYBE. On Source Music's official Twitter account, Hive X Source Music's girl group tweeted an article promoting them as "all-time rookies" who are different from the starting line. SinB and Umji, the youngest members of GFRIEND who debuted in 2015 at Source Music, and Sakura, the oldest member of LESSERAFIM who debuted in 2022, were born in 1998. Although the alphabet is different from "SSERAFIM" of Le Seraphim, there are opinions that Seraphim, which means tooth angel, means the official logo's annagram alphabet recombination in the team name, means the angel's white wings, and in fact, it is officially a white logo on a black background. From April 4, 2022, the members of LESSERAFIM were released one day in the order of Sakura, Kim Garam, Hong Eun-chae, Kim Chae-won, Kazuha, and Heo Yoon-jin, and the "First Moment of LESSERAFIM" project was carried out together. Although he is a K-pop idol who debuted at a Korean agency, the number of foreign members is higher, with two Koreans and three foreigners. Heo Yoon-jin is a foreigner because he is a U.S. nationality, and at the time of his debut, he had a half-and-half nationality ratio with three Koreans and three foreigners, but with the withdrawal of one Korean, the number of foreign members has increased. All members use their real names, not stage names. A Korean member uses his last name, including his last name, while an American member uses his Korean name Heo Yoon-jin (not his legal real name) as his stage name. Japanese members use Sakura and Kazuha, names other than surnames, as their activity names, so all member activity names are three letters in common. And coincidentally, the full names of the two Japanese members (Sakura Miyawaki and Kazuha Nakamura) also become seven-letter names like syllables after being transformed into Korean. As of the debut date, the age group of members belonging to the older sister line is relatively higher than that of other new idols. Sakura, the oldest, has been active in Japanese idols HKT48 and AKB48 for seven years since the age of 14, and Kim Chae-won, the second, debuted with IZ*ONE in 2018 with Sakura and re-debuted with LESSERAFIM in about four years. The third, Heo Yoon-jin, has participated in Produce 48, so all three members have some experience in the entertainment industry. As of the debut date, Sakura is 24, Kim Chae-won is 21, and Heo Yoon-jin is 20, so even the third, Heo Yoon-jin, is the oldest of other rookie girl groups. For your information, the age difference between the oldest and youngest members of Le Seraphim is 8 years. As of May 2, 2022, the debut date, the average age of the group is 19 years old and there is no member who is the same age as each other. At the beginning of his debut, the basic formation in the official scene was mainly from the left, followed by Kazuha, Kim Chae-won [17], Sakura, Hong Eun-chae, and Heo Yoon-jin. Blue Flame, which was a track and active song on the debut album, was written by members Kim Chae-won and Heo Yoon-jin, and is the theme song of HYBE's original story webtoon Crimson Heart. It tells the story of the members heading to UNKNOWN, a magical wilderness, following Blue Firefly, which symbolizes desire. The debut album "FEARLESS" sold 176,861 copies in one day on May 2, the day of its release. This is the highest sales on the first day of the girl group's debut album. And on the second day of its release, it broke the record of initial sales of all-time girl group debut albums. It is also the first girl group to sell more than 300,000 copies with its debut album. The accommodation is divided into two houses, three people Kim Chae-won, Heo Yoon-jin, and Hong Eun-chae live in one house, and two people Sakura and Kazuha live together on the other floor of the same building. Also, all members share their own rooms. The largest room with a toilet is said to be used by Sakura and Kim Chae-won, the oldest sisters and the first to join the team. However, there are not many members, but it is a very pleasant environment to use a single room in both accommodations, so there will not be much difference depending on the room. All members have type I, which is introverted in MBTI. Sakura had a definite introversion with 98 percent of I, and Heo Yoon-jin, a fairly active personality, was surprised to see that he was 69 percent introverted. Originally, only Kazuha had extroverted E, but Kazuha was also changed to INFP.
