In other news, LE SSERAFIM announced on June 20 the release of its second Japanese single album, "Unforgiven," via its official social media accounts.

The three-track Japanese album, slated to release on August 23, will include the Japanese version of "Unforgiven" from the group's first studio album, the Japanese version of "Antifragile" and a collaborative single with a Japanese pop artist, according to Korea Times.

LE SSERAFIM's first studio album, "Unforgiven," released on May 1, was a declaration of the members' will to march ahead in the direction they see fit, freeing themselves from others' standards.

It contained 13 tracks, with the title track "Unforgiven" featuring American record producer, guitarist and composer Nile Rodgers.

The studio album version of "Unforgiven" also came with a music video, which gained almost 81 million views since its premiere on May 1.

The South Korean girl group first made its Japanese debut with "Fearless," which was released on Jan. 25, 2023.

LE SSERAFIM is a five-member South Korean girl group with Source Music, a label under Hybe, consisting of members of different nationalities: Korean, Korean-American and Japanese.

The group originally debuted with six members — Sakura, Kim Chaewon, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae and Kim Garam — on May 5, 2022. Unfortunately, Garam was removed from the group in July 2022 amid bullying allegations.

LE SSERAFIM recently had a live broadcast with all five members, and Chaewon accidentally pulled down Yunjin's top twice during the stream.
