@@npc.maikoofrom a comment I read from another video. They all refer to women who disobeyed rules/orders. Eve who ate the forbidden world, Psyche who looked at Cupid's face, and the Beardman's wife who went to his basement and saw the dead bodies of his previous wives.
@@npc.maikooEve : she was forbidden to eat apple ( it's from Bible) Psyche : she was forbidden to look cupid ( Greek mythology) Bluebeards wife : she was forbidden to open a specific chamber (it's a French folk tale) If you want to more just search individual names and hear the stories. It's quite interesting tho
Also, their creativity with the wording is so satisfying: lesserafim, i'm fearless, fear less... It really helps deliver the message and connects everything
Yeah, my first song I heard from them was fearnot, so obviously I didn’t understand what that meant for the fandom (plus I don’t know Korean), I just loved the lines “in truth, she’s not all fearless, but you help her fear less”. Then I got one of those videos of the members explaining the group to a bunch of kids. When I found out what fearnot and le sserafim meant, I loved them even more. I thought their name was just because of seraphim angels
the styling changes also embody this: in fearless, they were dressed like models, sleek and perfect, sure they could have everything. while they took some of that model confidence into antifragile, it was a bit more messy, real. even the change in album cover and logo shows that. the fearless album cover is neat and predictable, while antifragile is inspired by the kintsugi technique, where gold is used to fix cracked pottery. they are showing that their weaknesses are what make them stronger.
WHAT I like about le sserafim is the group actually being fearless A concept can be good it can be almost perfect but when the members dont have it to themselves the concept will go and just crumble When garam got removed to the group they dont have any certainty what will happen to the group Then they released antifragile The girls slayed and Released antifragile and Also slayed Even though they lost someone They lost garam but they never lost themselves they never got down or basically got fragile And it goes to unforgiven too They prooved themselves again and again and it makes their concept really great.
this is one of the kpop commentaries i like-exploring the narratives from their music and how they all work. while i dont like every single le sserafim song, the way they shape their narrative through music just makes them stand out a lot. their docu made me follow them more and this vid just deepens it. as we see le sserafim closing their trilogy, i wonder what their next chapter would be like? with that they have gone thru, how can they use it now in the future?
I would love to see them lean into the angel motif more, or even fallen angel. Also I’d love to see them all explore with songwriting and producing, since I think all of the girls are talented enough to do so
@@gemmamoon5998 same! We have seen that Yunjin has written lyrics of a lot of songs and even produced Fearnot, Chaewon has written the lyrics of Blue Flame and all the members have written the lyrics of Fearnot; so if they want to I would love to know more about their skills not only on singing, dancing or rapping but also on writing and producing more
what got me into LE SSERAFIM is not simply their chemistry but also their story. as an upcoming college student next school year who’s afraid of failing “life” and the uncertainty, LE SSERAFIM has been my inspiration going forward. the way their songs are also a reflection of their own lives makes it a masterpiece in my eyes. LE SSERAFIM is a one of a kind group that both inspires you and makes u laugh to the point u cant breathe.
I feel like there was always something unique abt le sserafim especially because people have said the exact thing abt i feel hybe is doing a great job to le sserafim and leaving us to our own interpretation
Man, the editing gave me chills. The “Beef” inspired title cards, the lyric translations, all of it. I love how you delved into each track and broke down the overall message of facing uncertainty and moving forward regardless of what happens. Great work!
you summarized in one video the reason why i became a fearnot. i don’t think i’ve ever came across another trilogy in kpop or in music where the story flows so smoothly throughout the albums while simultaneously being really well written and produced, literally i have every single lessera song in my playlists because they’re just that good. they quickly became one of my favourite artists shortly after their debut and i can’t wait for what’s to come in their journey💗
Dude, I don’t know if you will see this comment but I just want you to know that this is one the best videos I have ever seen. The script is amazing, your choice of words is immaculate and your voice and the whole style of how you edit your videos…. Just wow. All these aspects compliment each other so beautifully. It shows that you put a lot of work behind these videos. They are amazing keep doing what you are doing my guy, you deserve everything good that comes your way 💙💙💙
Huge fearnot here, so I don't wanna compare, but you should definitely check out the Dystopia Trilogy by Dreamcatcher if you haven't. It's basically about cyber bullying and hatred, what it does to poeple, and what we can try and do to avoid it. Dreamcatcher and Le Sserafim are my 2 ult groups at the moment, their discography are so cool and creative. And they're amazing performancers too (Le Sserafim arguably the best performers in GGs at the moment), no doubt about it what so ever.
I’ve been a kpop stan for almost 8 years now and this group is actually getting me through adulthood. I struggle a lot with the uncertainty, and they’ve taught me to let go and trust the process. ❤️
Even tho garam leaving the group is sad,but it kinda fits in lesserafims storyline.Maybe the whole garam leaving convinced me that its part of the plot because it fits so well in lesserafims story with fearless they portray that they arent fear of the obstacles that they will encounter and antifragile they become bolder and coming back stronger than before with antifragile and they are not fragile and are not going to care about haters because they are basically antifragile which means not easy to hurt then unforgiven with that they are bold declaration of independence and rebellion against societal expectations and them coming back even stronger even tho critics and haters are trying to take them down and they themselves thought they are not worthy enough because they couldnt control the past of how one of the member had to left they became forgiven to themselves and moved on to greater heights.Its sad that their concept and story they are potraying is just underrated because its just so perfect no matter how you want to criticize it
personally I don’t think what happened to garam fits the storyline although I do see your point and where you get that idea from I feel as though Garams departure contradicted anti fragile a bit..and also fearless. Although it was out of the group & company’s control as the songs where already produced. It just doesn’t go properly in my eyes. Fearless but not fearless enough from hate and rumours because you had to kick out a member ( completely understand why though it was affecting the groups reputation). And anti fragile but clearly fragile to the controversy
I don’t comment usually but this is literally the best video I have ever watched. You explained the whole story line completely and my jaw dropped. I thought it was just few songs that are not related to each other, but it’s actually so meaningful. Most of the songs in the Kpop industry do not have this kind of storyline, which makes them more unique. I’m already a fearnot but u made me love le sserafim more!! Thank you for the efforts on making the video, I appreciate a lot!!💞💞
Your last words in the video made me cry. Cry because of relief i feel after watching this. That’s what I needed now. Thank you very much. I absolutely love your interpretation 🤍
honestly this touched me in a way i never expected; from the great editing that capitvates your interest to the well analysed commentaries on each song and the meaning of each act, this video about a kpop girl group feels like more, it IS more. the messages given by lesserafim are very valuable things to know in life, and you as the messenger were able to really display it all out for us, the viewer. every single thing said in this video is something all of us could learn, and even though it may take some time to do in practice, the payoff is incredible. this video is genuinely a work of art and i love it so fucking much, it felt almost like a film to watch. please keep up the work and the greatness of your content, lesserafim would be proud!!
You are a genius! I love the way you take the whole package and descoded all the history behind it, in a poetic and literary way. LE SSERAFIM ate, the truth legends of humanizing people and embracing theirselves, I love them so much aaaaa
I already loved Lsf before but this video has made me appreciate them on an even higher level! I'll be coming back to this video again and again, every time I need a reminder that life isn't always perfect but that's okay 💜
I'm here a year later and just want to thank you for this masterpiece, i loved it. Le Sserafim litteraly changed my life and thanks to you I understand even better what they wanted to give to the world and why i love them so much.
This video made me miss Garam more, and made me think of the possibility what if they actually was fearless and choose the “don’t conform” option. It leads me to think abt the possibilities of what they could be as 6 now. I’m still on the edge of whether to fully support them as an ult or not but this video was very enlightening and I appreciate the craftsmanship behind it. Though I have tried to move on from what happened in fearless, but its hard because ppl justified their actions by saying oh she did this so she deserves it, when they were being hypocrites doing the same thing. This is why I encourage everyone to be patient when something like this ever happens again.
Honestly what happened to garam was and still is extremely unfair. Guilty or not (I didn’t keep up with the whole story) she didn’t deserve to be harassed to no end. But as said in the video, and as harsh as it might sound, we need to move on. No matter how much she misses her group, the group misses her as well as the fans miss her, we need to move on. Bc we all know that the individuals who caused this will never change, hidden behind their screens. This community will never change no matter how much happens, how much damage is done, it won’t change. So we need to move on like she did, like the group did and wish them the best. That’s not forgive and forget, that’s looking at the future and caring for them
@@andreabangu6607 It feels like HYBE manipulated it all just to tell this narrative of Le Sserafim like how convenient it is that their second title track's message literally conveyed what happened during Garam's departure and Le Sserafim being anti fragile to the issues. It's like they needed Garam to leave in order to tell this flawless story
i know you probably wont read this, but your video essays are so amazing. they give great lessons and keep me aware of everything. you have such amazing thoughts and you’re so unique.
sour grapes is the best song in the trilogy, the way it goes against all the idealization of being a fearless person built in the other songs on the 1st album is brilliant and from it le sserafim comes up with antifragile, someone who fails but remains strong
This video clearly summarizes why Lesserafim is one of the best kpop groups active right now. Been a fan since fearless era and this trilogy made so much sense. Hope this video reaches everyone so that they get to appreciate LSF's concept
Oh my god, it's just 👏🏻the best👏🏻 video about story of LE SSERAFIM out there! Finally someone mentioned really important meaning of their songs and concept! Thank you so much, you and your thoughts, quality of this video just 💘made my day💘
There's one thing common in all your videos - i cry while watching them , why? You're simply amazing at explaining the MVs with your fluent, confident and attractive speaking ... the level of maturity you possess is making me wanna wish you do a face reveal so that i can appreciate your work more , and honestly lesserafim was not very special to me but after watching your video my respect towards them has increased many fold Thanks for these beautiful explanation videos , please continue to do so with bts ones too
Thank you so much for this!! this is why I stan le sserafim, people are always talking about how their title track are not the best, but people do not look at their story in full view and understand what le sserafim is all about.
i love how you integrated the concept with the real life situations surrounding garam’s departure from the group. as much as her situation was really unfortunate and uncalled for, it really did add more depth to the concept altogether when transitioning from debut to comeback. your commentary made me think whether or not the whole scandal was a part of the concept this whole time lol. great video and great analysis!!!
Lesserafim's Trilogy is perfect! Your interpretation is also perfect... Because Lesserafim's concept not just give good performance but also give a good meaning to their existence...
your editing is always so stunning! the text, sound effects, color grading, and the way you make the text so pretty and fit the background videos is so stunning to me
as a fearnot who loves kpop groups w lore behind it (even tought my utt group is I-DLE) i was CRAVING for someone to talk about this trilogy. (also the video is SOOOOOOO well edited HELOOOOOO??? ITS BEAUTIFUL)
Wow. This was not just an amazing kpop video (which it also is, such a wonderful interpretation of the material and it is CLEAR how much you love Le Sserafim, you should be on their PR team, seriously), but an incredible and inspiring video in general! Tons of people have said it, but, speaking for those of us probably old enough to be your parent: your voice, your delivery, your script, the visual choices you made, I want to chef's kiss all over! It gives me so much hope that young people like you are out there, making amazing things like this, not only about what they love, but also in such an inspiring way. To put realistic, yet hopeful encouragement into the world. I hope you keep creating! This line especially really hit me: "The world is unforgiving enough as it is. The least we can do is find ways to forgive each other.... and ourselves."
I couldn't agree more with how they break down the albums. Like the one who commented previously, FEARLESS is all about those crazy expectations, ANTIFRAGILE hits you with realizations, and UNFORGIVEN brings that sweet acceptance. It's like a wild ride through emotions, man. I also appreciate how their styling evolves throughout the trilogy. In FEARLESS, they were all about that sleek and perfect model look, while in ANTIFRAGILE, they embraced a more authentic and real vibe, and in UNFORGIVEN, they're even going wild. The album covers and logo changes mirror this transformation beautifully. Huge shoutout to the creator of this video for putting it all together so well! Your understanding of LE SSERAFIM's narrative and attention to detail truly shines. Keep up the fantastic work!
This video is so satisfying to watch, its made in such a organized way that it keeps u interested and u want to keep watching. Literally one of the best kpop vids ever made fr
gotta agree. for the very first time i've listened to they i was certain of they power but was a bit to ignorant to perceive the meaning between the lines or to face the big picture but yeah, le sserafim is a powerful group but, i think that this great feat (fearless, antifragile, unforgiven) could not be made again by they. idk is just a thought. btw, nice analysys mate. a very nice one! its beautiful how life, in all is made of acts and they could do something little (i mean, not little but not everyone could see it, me incluse heh) to sum this.
Whenever I watch their vids I always end up having a bowl of popcorn or some snacks with me because I truly KNOW that we're getting into some interesting stuff
This was such a great video. Your presentation style is what I just needed, and your analysis of the narratives in their songs absolutely got me to appreciate LE SSERAFIM in a way I never used to. Though to add a counter-point of mine, I think by IMPURITIES, they don't actually stop dreaming about extremely large things. Whenever they admit that they have 'impurities', I instead assumed that they admitted that they made mistakes (E.g. being foolish by deliberately ignoring the reality of uncertainty, without fearing it or acknowledging it) and that they were instead continuing to desire great things, because that's just who they are. "Show you the real me, the dark red light - Intensely shining, glittery things" in my opinion is an expression of the desire that they continue to have, but which was never tainted by the mistakes they made, though they do admit that they've had impurities in the form of those mistakes. Now that their approach has changed (to fear, but not afraid), they can acknowledge what's inside them all along, which is that desire to reach those countless and expansive destinations ("펼쳐진 destinations"). Their desire is thickening, but their flawed approach in the past which has led to mistakes hasn't made them compromise. I feel if they instead meant that their desires ended up becoming more grounded that they would also show that in the lyrics, but I think most if it reflects a more idealistic sentiment - though with a grounded understanding of the reality of uncertainty. They made mistakes, but they have what they need inside them in order to reach the very top. They keep on moving like nothing happened, because their approach is now correct, and their trajectory can now be set without being afraid of what blunders are to come. I think this small change in a small narrative detail makes sense, even among the rest of the songs (GOOD PARTS + the rest) that you've displayed and explained. I just thought that IMPURITIES itself showed less of a confession that they should compromise, but that instead that they've made mistakes (that they've gained impurities) but that their desire won't be broken. While the rest of the songs continue to expound on how much those mistakes affected them, I think ultimately this conclusion of finally coming to accept the reality of uncertainty and moving on is given a chance to continue to be given credence because now their next comeback can demonstrate that they acknowledge the uncertainty of reality, have moved on from their mistakes, and now they can make their next moves. Their real moves which will take them to where they want, even among what's happened thus far. Anyways, I wanted to say that this is an awesome video and that your presentation style is god-tier. No doubt. Each part is well laid-out, each narrative transitions from one part to another so smoothly, and everything just mixes together really well to make for a good video essay that's easy to follow and easy to take something away from. I hope you continue to make videos because honestly, we need more videos going in-depth into the very substance within K-pop which not many people have acknowledged (other video essay content creators that do this that come to mind are 'mera', etc.).
I really want to translate your videos to my language bc it’s soooo good and I think serves a lot of information, I want to sent to some friends but they don’t speak English. I really appreciate how you edit and script this kind of video theories, it’s insane! Good job!
this is the best kpop video i've ever seen!! the editing, the script, everything about this video is top-tier! it definitely taught an important lesson that will stick with me
This correlates so well with someone that has OCD like the ability to be ok with uncertainty is the entire point of what people is trying to understand, to focus of what they can control and what they can't aka their thoughts and that the uncertainty that your thoughts are true or not/will not or will happen is the goal in treating OCD. I just think that cool as someone that has OCD plus a big le sserafim stan :]
Le Sserafim is the only group that has intros. Not dance dance intros like other groups. Also, Le Sserafim's every album include mythological creatures. In Fearless era "the great mermaid", in Antifragile era "The hydra" & in Unforgiven era " Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's wife".
this is probably one of the most well done and thought out youtube videos i’ve seen in a while. everything you explained quickly and truly resonated with me. well done keep up the amazing work :)
great video i love it so much the thing about le sserafim is how eye opennig their story can be to many people but as a fan of kpop it is easy to realise that their concepts are one of the best in kpop, le sserafim isn't providing a story the story has already been told through their real life journey of the members, whether its through their debut (fearless) in which they feel they have to shape their own world and be on the top or with their second comeback (antifragile) fighting back the cirtisms and backlash they recieved and becoming stronger than they were before and as of (unforgiven) they prove that they can be fearless and be stronger and also be able to move on to the next chapter of their lives. The trillogy showcases all of the aspects on how you can appreciate the members lives and how to appreciate ourselves through adversity
Believe it or not, Lesserafim were there for me through my worst depressive episodes, where I hate lookin at the mirror, hate being myself and sabotaging myself everyday. They made me to hold on a little bit more into life. Thank you for this analysis, it helps me to relive the wonderful experience I had with Fimmies.
@@tana-shaymyrie7688Yea i can move on from her being apart of the group, and le sserafim now being 5, but im not moving on about how yall ruined her career.
