Three years after its first full-length record, K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is ready to tell a different story about fear.

The five-member group is set to drop "PUREFLOW pt.1," its second studio album on Friday, built around a premise that inverts the group's debut message. While the group's first record declared strength through fearlessness, this one argues the opposite — that fear, faced directly, is what makes you stronger.

"When we first debuted, the message was that we were strong because we had no fear," said Huh Yun-jin, the group's primary songwriter, said during an interview with The Korea Times in Seoul, Monday. "Now it's that we're strong because we faced our fears."

The group's leader Kim Chae-won was not able to join the interview due to a neck injury.
