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.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
