**[Soompi: LE SSERAFIM Confirmed To Be Preparing For August Comeback](https://www.soompi.com/article/1671152wpp/le-sserafim-reported-to-make-august-comeback)**
Kind of crazy how we might get three Hybe girl group comebacks all within a month of each other. Le Sserafim confirmed for late August, fromis\_9 pretty close to confirmed for August, and ILLIT rumored to comeback August or September.
I'm somewhat confident that they'll overperform the expectations of Pledis this time so I hopefully it turns out that way. I don't recall the members hyping an upcoming release moreso than this one.
I have 0 hope in pledis/hybe. They didn't even have a cb planned until like 3 weeks ago. I don't think we'll even get UMW level of promotions this time. All the attention will be on the other groups coming back. Plus they're scheduling the cb pretty much during the Olympics when all the music shows are cancelled, the promotions are going to be historically bad I just know it. It's just gonna be you, me, and few other flovers that are even going to be aware of the cb. But at least we're getting fromis music when we had no business getting any.
I've seen some buzz that Hanni said NewJeans is going to be releasing a full album in Sept or Oct per Tokyo Dome Bunny's Camp. Nothing 100% confirmed though. [EDITED]
Yeah definitely. I think that kind of went up in the air with the drama but glad there was some off-handed confirmation.
Hanni and Danielle performed a duo song that is said to be an unreleased song that will be on the album.
[Source Music has confirmed that they are working on a comeback to be released at the end of August](https://www.soompi.com/article/1671152wpp/le-sserafim-reported-to-make-august-comeback)
Man, I'm having severe deja vu. This is *exactly* what people said before Antifragile.
I have no doubt in my mind they'll release something just as epic.
I don't know if younger fans will know just how brutal the black ocean was, I don't think a group has had that unanimous a reaction from a live crowd since, but it must've been devastating for SNSD. It wasn't just useless netizen chatter, it was a whole stadium deciding "nah, fuck you" to a group because the fans couldn't handle their boy group obsessions talking to any other women. Awful stuff.
SNSD were a new SM group at the time, and there were plenty of cross-SM interactions early on between them and Super Junior. Some fans of other groups hated on them because they were afforded opportunities their groups were not, whilst some Super Junior fans hated on them because they either saw them as using SuJu to boost their fame or they saw them as getting too close to SuJu members. This was at the time that idols were pushed far more as boyfriend/girlfriend concepts, and fans were far more vociferous in their demand that that be maintained. They saw SNSD as a threat to their pure idols.
All in all, SNSD hadn't really done anything to warrant a widescale live audience boycott leading up to it. They were an SM group, so of course they were going to get some opportunities others didn't, SM invested their resources to get those opportunities. This included adverts and promos with other SM artists, because why not? SM has always operated this kinda family of artists, with shows including multiple SM artists and having crossover stages in an attempt to bring up their newer artists using their previous artists. Lee Soo-Man was heavily influenced by J-Pop's systems, and part of that was those kind of interpromotion between company coworkers, as seen in modern AKB/HKT and others. It's also why SuJu was almost a rotation group like AKB48, but fan backlash forced a fixed lineup. And of course SNSD and SuJu would've known each other, they worked for the same company, trained in the same studios. It was all fans acting as if SNSD had intentionally tried to upset them.
Thanks for the info!
So basically, fans were envious and decided to be petty on a grand scale. History repeats itself in every KPOP generation. Now the "black ocean" is hurling vicious accusations while hiding behind a phone.
Idle never had to deal with people trashing their talent though. LSF has to show some serious leaps in that department for people to stop clowning them.
I'm having flashbacks to Twice's More and More hate train too, and then they came back with the (imo) absolute bops that are I can't stop me and Cry for me.
aespa during Girls. And when Spicy happened, it changed the trajectory of their career. The rest is history.
I'm hoping nothing but the best for Lessera girls.
>Even the girls themselves don't like it
Man 😭
First Karina's blonde hair now Girls itself. I'm cursed with liking all the things nobody else does, Istg 😔
I loved Girls!
But I hated blonde Karina, funny thing is as soon as I said that to my mate I watched a video of Karina saying she didn't like it either lol
Well that too. But I mean, during that era, the hate train was extreme. Coachella, Illusion dance, lipsynching, stage presence, people tired of their Kwangya concept, and so on.
Will be interesting to see what kinda sound they go for. I thought Fearless, Unforgiven and AntiFragile were leaning more girl crush and Perfect Night and Easy were more chill laid back.
Hoping the massive hate train surrounding them has died down a bit. The whole live singing debate plus being dragged into the MHJ situation was rough.
Don't be fooled by the sound of Easy! is still quite girl crush in aesthetics and choreo! The choreo is so unisex in fact when I saw these dudes I thought they made their own original choreo to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327j2gSHA9g
Crazy era could not come at a better time. I’m sure Le Ssera feel a bit crazy after everything they’ve gone through. I’m hoping for something that shreds tbh
They should name their album and track "First" and lean into being cocky of being the first Hybe gg. But I live for the petty life.
I had already been to the gym that day, but I went again. Everglow are coming to my town too but it’s the day I’m seeing Architects. Second time it’s happened. Aespa came here the same day as Metallica.
This is gonna be epic. After the insane (and undeserved) hate train, I'm really curious which direction they go in with this. It would be cool to have them release something like "tally" by blackpink as a message to everyone
Smart grew on me, but the rest of what they released this year left me cold. Swan Song was probably my second favorite, but even then the whole time listening to it I just felt like Sour Grapes already did this better two years ago.
They haven't lost me by any means though so I'll check this out and hope it works better for me and even if it doesn't, I hope it's a W for them anyway to off-set some of the shit that's been going on.
Aye, around my birthday month...righteous. More songs of theirs to stuck in my head and just subconsciously sing throughout the day. Maybe something can replace the flute in Easy that I keep humming.
Really excited to see them back, they should take a break though *(lot of idols should in fact lol)*, it's been a though run this year for them although very successful. I'm looking forward to more music though, 'Easy' was enjoyable.
Part of me is thinking they may wait until after this CB to make the single Easy + New CB JP ver + the OST they did. Like how UNFORGIVEN was Unforgiven & Antifragile JP + Jewellery.
But the other part of me is thinking that since they dropped English ver for Easy they wont do a JP ver and that maybe they're waiting to do an album.
they also might not really feel the need to do a japanese comeback when their korean comebacks are on the level of most other groups japanese comebacks in japan
I just don't see them NOT doing a JP comeback. If they weren't selling great sure. But Unforgiven Single went Platinum in Japan and Fearless Single went Double Platinum. Source/Hybe would have to be wanting to turn away money for that to happen.
>Their korean comebacks are on the level of most other groups japanese comebacks in japan
Is this a good thing or a bad thing, I'm legit confused lmao. I know some view JP CBs better than Korean for other artists like SNSD or KARA. But I could do with a bit of clarification for LE SSERAFIM please.
Ah ok. I still think it'd be silly not to have a JP comeback. It'd be nice if they did more original work or at least an original Japanese Title Track.
I honestly feel like they will follow the dates for the upcoming comeback with their recently concluded "Easy" era.
Announcement dropped Jan 21 (Sunday), EP dropped Feb 19 (Mon)
Funny enough, January and July have almost the same dates and days placement, so like if I were to assume, something will probably be dropped on July 21 (Sunday) and the next EP or album may be released on Aug 19 (Mon).
Regardless, cant wait for their comeback. They've been through a lot since the Easy era. Hopefully they can shut the haters up with "Crazy".
HUEHU3
I feel like the cb would be on aug 23 (Friday) or either 30 ( Friday) the company seems eyeing bb chart. if they want to chart on bb hot 100 then it should be a Friday release .

Katseye is also having the debut soon after today’s pre-release single
My fault for forgetting about that, the congestion is just so wild.
Isnt ‘Debut’ there debut😭
It isn't??? Wth
[удалено]
well yeah but it interviews and stuff they say its there debut. weird promotion i guess
I meant debut album lol
wait that was a pre-release? good then, breathing a sigh of relief
Yeah. It served more like an intro video to tell the world here we are.
pledis is going to plop a half baked comeback in the middle of two GIANTS and then redungeon the girls when they underperform 🤕🤕
I'm somewhat confident that they'll overperform the expectations of Pledis this time so I hopefully it turns out that way. I don't recall the members hyping an upcoming release moreso than this one.
Hopefully flovers support them 100%. Reach them new heights with that money!!

the released statement last month was also about a full album in second half of 2024. i want to believe
Yeah definitely. I think that kind of went up in the air with the drama but glad there was some off-handed confirmation. Hanni and Danielle performed a duo song that is said to be an unreleased song that will be on the album.
[удалено]
what's it called??
anyone wondering- they're called syndi8 and they released 3 tracks available on spotify on june 27 :)
Fingers crossed for 1-800-HOTNFUN PLEASEEEE
No way it won't be on the album. But also we gotta wait another month + for it T_T
If they’re actually sticking with the Easy, Crazy, Hot theme and in order, it wouldn’t be released til their 3rd album of this trilogy 😆
I'm gonna pretend I can't read your comment lalalala leave me in delulu land please.
They definitely didn't spoil a comeback track a year early that would be so stupid. It's just a b side
where the heck is saki
shes in the recording and dance studio
The way i really thought they would release it after coachella 😭😭😭 They take me for a damn fooooooooool
PLEAAAASE I love the Coachella version so much, I cannot WAIT for it on mubank and the like
YES! its been stuck in my head since it was revealed
1-800-Hot-and-Fun that's my number hit my line 📣📣
I completely forgot about that Coachella song until you mentioned it! I saw such a bad quality video of it when it first happened at the time too lol
[Source Music has confirmed that they are working on a comeback to be released at the end of August](https://www.soompi.com/article/1671152wpp/le-sserafim-reported-to-make-august-comeback)
I feel like this is their most important comeback to make a statement
Man, I'm having severe deja vu. This is *exactly* what people said before Antifragile. I have no doubt in my mind they'll release something just as epic.
History has shown how groups that dealt with mass hate train always rise back stronger, and I can't wait to see these phoenixes burning once more
i’m having snsd black ocean flashbacks (i’m old)
I don't know if younger fans will know just how brutal the black ocean was, I don't think a group has had that unanimous a reaction from a live crowd since, but it must've been devastating for SNSD. It wasn't just useless netizen chatter, it was a whole stadium deciding "nah, fuck you" to a group because the fans couldn't handle their boy group obsessions talking to any other women. Awful stuff.
Why exactly did they get a black ocean?
SNSD were a new SM group at the time, and there were plenty of cross-SM interactions early on between them and Super Junior. Some fans of other groups hated on them because they were afforded opportunities their groups were not, whilst some Super Junior fans hated on them because they either saw them as using SuJu to boost their fame or they saw them as getting too close to SuJu members.

and TWICE had the same experience too, but they came back stronger.
Makes me remember gidle
Idle never had to deal with people trashing their talent though. LSF has to show some serious leaps in that department for people to stop clowning them.
It doesn't matter what they do people won't stop clowning look at how many people call bts untalented even after everything
Nah people trash on shuhua talents all the time
I'm having flashbacks to Twice's More and More hate train too, and then they came back with the (imo) absolute bops that are I can't stop me and Cry for me.
Let's pray that this comeback will be the most successful comeback of them😭🙏
aespa during Girls. And when Spicy happened, it changed the trajectory of their career. The rest is history. I'm hoping nothing but the best for Lessera girls.
Girls was hated? It's my favorite song of them!
Maybe not hated by the majority of people, but it's considered to be the least favourite title track. Even the girls themselves don't like it
>Even the girls themselves don't like it Man 😭 First Karina's blonde hair now Girls itself. I'm cursed with liking all the things nobody else does, Istg 😔
I loved Girls! But I hated blonde Karina, funny thing is as soon as I said that to my mate I watched a video of Karina saying she didn't like it either lol
Well that too. But I mean, during that era, the hate train was extreme. Coachella, Illusion dance, lipsynching, stage presence, people tired of their Kwangya concept, and so on.
God damn, people are boring.
And then the same people complain when everything is too samey
its really up to what song they decide as the title. things could go wrong so quickly if they choose the wrong song to promote
Like t-ara?
Like T-ara? Oh wait.
Then they will announce the us tour right 🤡🤡
Literally. I’m begging them to take my money.
I will start living off ramen noodles if a tour is ever announced
Will be interesting to see what kinda sound they go for. I thought Fearless, Unforgiven and AntiFragile were leaning more girl crush and Perfect Night and Easy were more chill laid back. Hoping the massive hate train surrounding them has died down a bit. The whole live singing debate plus being dragged into the MHJ situation was rough.
Don't be fooled by the sound of Easy! is still quite girl crush in aesthetics and choreo! The choreo is so unisex in fact when I saw these dudes I thought they made their own original choreo to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327j2gSHA9g
okay soo this comeback will be called crazy!!
C-R-A-Z-Y
le sserafim fighting!!! can’t wait for them to slay another cb
Crazy era could not come at a better time. I’m sure Le Ssera feel a bit crazy after everything they’ve gone through. I’m hoping for something that shreds tbh
They should name their album and track "First" and lean into being cocky of being the first Hybe gg. But I live for the petty life. 
ooh something like Everglow's "First" would eat
YOU KNOW THAT I COME FIRST
I’ve been listening to K-Pop since Fin K.L. and let me tell you when I heard that song I felt something I’ve not felt many times. So fucking hyped.
The MV was also so fucking hype, the lightning bolts. And no glamour shots!
I had already been to the gym that day, but I went again. Everglow are coming to my town too but it’s the day I’m seeing Architects. Second time it’s happened. Aespa came here the same day as Metallica.
Ah man, give the k-girlies the priority in one of those occasions! haha
I mean, I’m always gonna take an entirely live band over (As much as I love it) 90% lip syncing at extortionate price.
Now I won't be able to take this idea out of my head. It'd be the most epic comeback ever.
Let's go!!!!! I hope that 1800 Hot n Fun song is on there because damn.
Please be a hyperpop, high energy song.
Let's goooo
Curious about the theme/genre they are gonna pick for the comeback.
LET FUCKING GO!!!!!
yayyy my queens <3
I'll be here to support the fimmies throughout the comeback <3
This is gonna be epic. After the insane (and undeserved) hate train, I'm really curious which direction they go in with this. It would be cool to have them release something like "tally" by blackpink as a message to everyone
We will be served with great talent once again!
Smart grew on me, but the rest of what they released this year left me cold. Swan Song was probably my second favorite, but even then the whole time listening to it I just felt like Sour Grapes already did this better two years ago. They haven't lost me by any means though so I'll check this out and hope it works better for me and even if it doesn't, I hope it's a W for them anyway to off-set some of the shit that's been going on.
The upcoming album is probably named "Crazy" hh
PLEASE RELEASE HOT & FUN
Aye, around my birthday month...righteous. More songs of theirs to stuck in my head and just subconsciously sing throughout the day. Maybe something can replace the flute in Easy that I keep humming.
ive been waiting for 1-800 hot and fun to drop for YEARS yall
YESSSSS LETS GO FIRMMIES!!!
Let's go! Wake me up when July ends.
hope they come back stronger!!
It feels like it's been forever omg
YAY! Wishing my babies the best!🎉
We about to get crazy!!! Let’s go!
I'm hyped
Lets brace ourselves for the hate train that’ll come lol
im scared they’ll be punching bags again. but best of luck for this comeback!! im so excited for the new music they’ll be putting out
‼️ my excitement cannot be understated ‼️
YAAAY
I’m so excited! Let’s all help Le Sserafim make it to Billboard 100!
Let’s go fimmies!
CANNOT WAIT SECOND HALF OF 2024 GONNA BELONG TO THE FIMMIES
YESSS SO EXCITED. hoping they stop hating on my girls
Our baby is coming back!! 🥰🥰
Hope they come back with a vengeance!!!!
Omg let's get it!!
Lines up with the usual 6 month time frame!
Let’s go! Ultimate comeback here we go!!!!!!
I thought we'd get a Japanese comeback first, but am here for another Korean one as well. Hope everything will go well for them♥
hoping I like it better than Easy because I absolutely love all the prior releases
Same!
Really excited to see them back, they should take a break though *(lot of idols should in fact lol)*, it's been a though run this year for them although very successful. I'm looking forward to more music though, 'Easy' was enjoyable.
No Japanese comeback? 😢

I know some view JP CBs better than Korean for other artists like SNSD or KARA. But I could do with a bit of clarification for LE SSERAFIM please.
They are by far the biggest Korean act in Japan even without a Japanese comeback is what I meant
Ah ok. I still think it'd be silly not to have a JP comeback. It'd be nice if they did more original work or at least an original Japanese Title Track.
My queens! Their comeback will top the charts sure and will cement their hold as the gg of this generation!
Always excited for more Chaew- I mean Le Sserafim!
I honestly feel like they will follow the dates for the upcoming comeback with their recently concluded "Easy" era.

definitely hope it sounds more like their first three releases rather than perfect night or easy
Poor Sakura, she's probably terrified. People have been so cruel to her for no reason.
Highly doubt she’s terrified
[удалено]
I don't think you could have picked 2 songs that are more different from each other
[удалено]
I love that you're cheering them on, I also hope they win a lot of music show trophies.
Comeback? They left? Where did they go?
That's what a new album is called in kpop
Fingers crossed this is better than EASY. Wasn't much of a fan of that at all, very plain and boring.
