The rollout is already underway. Today at 1 p.m. KST, LE SSERAFIM released "Just BOOMPALA," a mood film introducing the title track of their upcoming second studio album PUREFLOW pt.1, out May 22 at 1 p.m. KST (midnight ET/9 p.m. PT on May 21).

The album's title track is "BOOMPALA" - an invented word created specifically for this comeback, in the same vein as the album title PUREFLOW, which is an anagram of "POWERFUL." Source Music describes the track as a hip-hop-based dance song built on heavy synth bass and a powerful hook. A full music video drops May 22 alongside the album.
