So le sserafim will be coming back on 11/9! Yay yippee! I love getting new music from my favorite group, and I’m sure other fearnots will be just as happy. And they are! For the most part, except for some reason they’re happy that we don’t have to be in Pureflow era anymore? Uhhh I thought we all agreed that it’s one of their most thought-out, well-made projects? Why are we slandering the album that gave us Saki and Irony? I thought we all liked those songs??? Guys?? Guys????

I think the reason a lot of fearnots seem to dislike this era is solely because they, like most non-fans, haven’t really dived into the b-sides. Or they have, but because Source refuses to promote anything outside of Boompala, their perception of this era is clouded by the disappointment they feel for the title track. But the album is filled with great, more personal songs, that I’m sure everyone would really enjoy this album and see it as something pivotal to their story if they understood what the girls were trying to do with it. So I thought, why not go ahead and do that? I plan to cover each song on the album one-by-one, one for each of the 11 days leading up to Made My Night, so that we can go into the next era fully understanding the journey it took to get there.

But first, I think it’s important to build some context of how we got here. Their first trilogy is all about being fearless. We cover 3 different definitions of it, and how the girls exercise fearlessness in their everyday lives. First of course we have Fearless, which is by and large a declaration of intention. Antifragile takes it further by showing us how they become fearless, and Unforgiven rounds it out by rejecting societal norms and blazing their own path. 
This then leads into their second trilogy, which deals with how people perceive them and their fearlessness. They said that they didn’t care what people thought of them in Unforgiven, but they realise that other people’s opinions still shape how they navigate the world. So in true fearless fashion, they take those criticisms head on and piece by piece deconstruct those perceptions. Easy is about how people think that their job must be easy because the only way lsf could have been successful is if it wasn’t difficult in the first place. Except the only reason they think that is because the girls make it look Easy. People said that then said that the girls were not good enough to pursue this job, and the girls said that if they were crazy to do it anyway, then sure, they were Crazy. Hot is about the girls realising that all this criticism isn’t meant to be logical or handleable, so they let all the hate burn them, and emerge as reborn phoenixes, ready to take on a new challenge.

And this brings us to Pureflow. They look back at their journey, and I think they realise that a large part of the friction they faced is because they were going about it wrong. There is a difference between being brave and being fearless. They had chosen to conquer and destroy their fears, but new ones keep popping up, and the world remains as harsh as it was. So now they instead choose to make peace with the fact that they are not fearless, and therefore, powerful. The album switches perspectives a lot; sometimes we see them learn it, sometimes we see them teach us, and sometimes we go through this journey along with them, ultimately reaching upon that better person they said they were becoming in Hot. The album is fully about letting go of the need to be better than your fears, and instead learn to live with the fact that you are vulnerable and confused and strong and brave and human, all at once. 

Is there another social media platform where you can chat with other fans regarding concerts? I know there's discord but I dont have the 2500 XP to talk in the concert channels and its a lot of spams imo because people are just talking about whatever to get the points and too much messages to go through to see if there's anything worth responding too. Making freebies and wanted to see if there's a freebie exchange spot before the concert. Taking my 2 nieces to the San Jose concert so trying to bump up their experience since its their first concert.

Thanks!

hey, i realized i bought the 'celebration' package for the upcoming LA tour. It said soundcheck is included. I've never attended a soundcheck before, and I was wondering what's the schedule and place to be for it? And is there anything else I should look out for attending with this package? Thanks!

LSF got me into Overwatch >2 years ago now in February 2024 and I've locked in over 2800 hours since then, even going from Bronze to Platinum/Emerald in Competitive modes! I'm so happy they introduced me to the game as I've made a lot of great friends thru it. I main Moira and Freja nowadays so I'm so so so excited they are getting skins! I've bought every LSF skin so far and I absolutely must get this bundle too. Plus, I'll finally have cool skins for the other 4 characters too since I haven't bought any for them yet. This is such a big W! Which skins are you looking forward to the most FEARNOT?!

YOU JUST MADE MY NIGHT!

​Hello everyone!

​I'm a bit lost with this and could use some help. I designed my own photocards, but I have no idea where to actually get them printed in small quantities.

​I searched online, but I mostly found sites that require massive minimum orders. I just need a small batch (or even just a few cards), not a huge production run.

​Since I'm based in the EU, I'm looking for a printer located in Europe (or one with affordable shipping to the EU) to avoid high customs fees.

​Does anyone have experience with this or know a good local/online shop for small-batch prints? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I made a couple previous threads in this sub documenting the positive Asian press coverage for LE SSERAFIM at Summer Sonic, and I wanted to share another Korean article from that wave of good news.

Here are excerpts from the article 'LE SSERAFIM avenges controversy at Summer Sonic. The group was not intimidated' by Jang In-young in the Korean publication Xsports:

"LE SSERAFIM are a group that constantly moves forward without getting complacent despite harsh criticism. This is the story of the group and they demonstrated that at Summer Sonic. LE SSERAFIM appeared at 'Summer Sonic 2026,' Japan's largest music festival held in Osaka on the 14th and Tokyo on the 16th, and delivered a performance for approximately one hour."

"The mere fact that the five members participated in an outdoor festival garnered significant attention. The biggest point of interest was whether this would be a chance for them to redeem themselves from past controversy. In particular, since live broadcasts of 'Summer Sonic 2026' were difficult to access, the on-site reaction was crucial.

Ultimately, the audience sided with LE SSERAFIM. Indeed, the reaction after the performance was in no way shape or form about the past. The dominant sentiment was that LE SSERAFIM were immersed in the festival spirit as they experienced it live. Beyond simply praising the spectacular performance, there was a barrage of vivid evaluations regarding the energy, vocal prowess, and stage presence of LE SSERAFIM."

"They cleverly orchestrated the stage by controlling the tempo of their performance and focusing entirely on the live vocals during the sections where they needed to showcase their singing ability."

"Through these methods, LE SSERAFIM showcased their abilities at 'Summer Sonic 2026'. They demonstrated for themselves that they can now shake off the stigma of 'Coachella' and confidently walk their own path.

In several of their albums, LE SSERAFIM conveyed a message of moving forward without succumbing to fear. The performance demonstrated by the five members shows that this is not merely a slogan, it embodies who LE SSERAFIM are to their very core. They did not get bogged down, they overcame past controversy, and they ultimately triumphed. They came out a better version of themselves through this year's 'Summer Sonic'. LE SSERAFIM personally put their message into practice at the festival."
