LE SSERAFIM · Korean · 33 words
EASY & CRAZY
This set pairs LE SSERAFIM's two 2024 mini albums: EASY, about how much effort hides behind looking effortless, and CRAZY, about wanting to lose yourself in something you love. The Korean moves from doubt, fairness and the swan paddling under the surface to lightning-chasing, rainy-season runs and the fear of being too careful to go all in. Several tracks are spoken-word or English-heavy, so the words here come from the Korean lines that carry the argument.
