'Macarena' sampling… LE SSERAFIM's new song 'BOOMPALA' teases unprecedented catchiness

The group LE SSERAFIM has signalled a new craze in the global music market with the title track 'BOOMPALA'.

On the 16th, the tvN variety show 'Amazing Saturday' featured LE SSERAFIM's Kim Chae-won and Kazuha, who unveiled for the first time the core concept of the second studio album 'PUREFLOW' pt.1 (PUREFLOW Part 1), due for release on the 22nd.

What drew the most attention during the broadcast was the source track sampled for 'BOOMPALA'. The members revealed that the new title track samples the global mega-hit 'Macarena', explaining that they have perfectly reinterpreted not only the melody but also the signature choreography in LE SSERAFIM's own style. Given that the original 'Macarena' famously spent 14 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the US Billboard main singles chart 'Hot 100', public anticipation for this comeback has reached fever pitch.

When a snippet of the new song was revealed, the panel lavished praise, saying it possessed a powerful catchiness that anyone, young or old, could easily pick up. The cast in particular offered a positive outlook, suggesting that the song's accessible melody and choreography could create a mega-hit that spans generations.

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM's second studio album 'PUREFLOW' pt.1 will be released simultaneously worldwide at 1pm on the 22nd. Featuring 11 tracks including the title song 'BOOMPALA', the new record is expected to showcase the members' inner growth as they confront fear and the strengthened bonds within the team, musically eliciting a strong response from global fans.
