LE SSERAFIM Opens PUREFLOW Tour With New Songs
LE SSERAFIM launched its PUREFLOW world tour in Incheon, debuting new songs as Kim Chaewon returned to the full group lineup.
LE SSERAFIM officially launched its PUREFLOW world tour with two concerts at Inspire Arena in Incheon on July 11 and 12, presenting live performances built around the group's second full-length album, PUREFLOW Pt. 1. Organized by SOURCE MUSIC, the opening shows combined new material with the group's established hits and marked Kim Chaewon's return to full group activities after she previously limited promotions because of a neck injury. The concerts also served as the first stop on LE SSERAFIM's second world tour, which will continue across Asia, North America and Europe in the coming months.
The production centered on the concept and message of PUREFLOW Pt. 1, beginning with a stage inspired by the music video for "Celebration." The group introduced several songs from the album in concert, including "Trust Exercise" and "Irony," both of which received their live debuts during the opening night, while other new material from the album also featured prominently throughout the performance. Fans also saw the five members perform "BOOMPALA" together on tour after Chaewon's return completed the lineup. Concert setlists from the opening show reflected the album-focused direction, blending new releases with signature tracks that have become staples of the group's live performances.
Alongside the new songs, LE SSERAFIM reworked several of its best-known releases with live band arrangements. Performances of "ANTIFRAGILE," "CRAZY" and "SPAGHETTI" featured updated instrumentation that gave familiar songs a different concert sound while preserving their original choreography and energy. The setlist also included tracks such as "Perfect Night," "Blue Flame," "EASY," "UNFORGIVEN" and "Fire in the Belly," creating a program that balanced recent releases with music spanning the group's career.
During the concerts, the members thanked FEARNOT, the group's official fandom, for its continued support. According to remarks shared during the performances, the members said the fans are "the reason we stand on stage and the reason we exist." They also explained that they wanted the concert to communicate the meaning and story behind each song from the album, noting that the tour shares its title with PUREFLOW Pt. 1. Those comments echoed earlier messages released by SOURCE MUSIC ahead of the opening concerts, when the members said the new tour represents a fresh beginning following their first world tour and encouraged listeners to experience the album before attending the shows.
The Incheon concerts opened a five-month itinerary that will take LE SSERAFIM to 23 cities through early December. According to SOURCE MUSIC and Yonhap News Agency, the group's next scheduled performances are in Osaka on July 25 and 26 before additional stops across Japan, Asia, North America and Europe. LE SSERAFIM is also scheduled to appear at SUMMER SONIC 2026, adding a major festival appearance to its calendar as the group continues promoting PUREFLOW Pt. 1 alongside its expanding international tour.
