LE SSERAFIM has announced another transformation by releasing the title track of their new Japanese single, ‘DIFFERENT’.

Ahead of the release of their 4th Japanese single “DIFFERENT” on June 24th, Seraphim(Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Heo Yun-jin, Kazuha, Hong Eun-chae)pre-released the title song of the same name on the 9th at midnight.This new song is particularly noteworthy as it is the first time an original song has been chosen as the title song for a Japanese single.

‘DIFFERENT’ is a disco funk style song that Seraphim has taken on a new challenge.It exudes addictive charm with its cheerful rhythm and solid groove.The lyrics, which contain the message, “I will move forward in my own way without comparing myself to others,” reveal Seraphim’s individuality and attitude of affirming differences and loving herself as she is.

The music video released at the same time has a unique storyline where the members make a secret blue sauce, have it stolen by a spider, and engage in a chase.The exciting choreography and sensual visuals added to this, making it feel like a short movie, increasing the sense of immersion.

Le Serafim will perform ‘DIFFERENT’ for the first time on stage at the ‘2025 LE SSERAFIM TOUR’ EASY CRAZY HOT ‘IN JAPAN’ concert to be held in Saitama, Japan on the 12th and 14th and 15th.

Meanwhile, Seraphim continues to expand its popularity in Japan.According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan, the song “Smart” from their third mini-album released in Korea last month surpassed 50 million cumulative streams as of April, earning them a gold certification in the streaming category.
