The young girl group from HYBE is finally back with a new album, five months after their debut! It's called ANTIFRAGILE and will be released on October 18. What does the word “Antifragile” mean? You'll find the answer at the end of this article!
With the first album FEARLESS, we had the choice between three versions. ANTIFRAGILE takes things up a notch and offers no fewer than eight different versions: three Standard versions and five Compact versions!
The three Standard versions are called Vol.1, Vol.2 and Vol.3 and each contains a CD, a 112-page photo book, one of 15 possible photo cards, one of 3 postcards, a sticker, three antifragile stickers and, for pre-orders, one of 3 folded posters. The outer packaging, the photo book and the CD are designed differently depending on the version. Everything else is the same in all versions.
You can also optionally add an exclusive hologram photo card to your order!
A little anecdote: These versions are very similar in content to the two Standard versions of FEARLESS. The photo book even has exactly the same number of pages!
Now let's take a look at the somewhat cheaper Compact versions:
There are five of them and we suspect that each one is dedicated to one of the five members of LE SSERAFIM. Besides the CD, the Compact versions contain a 16-page booklet, one of 20 possible individual photo cards, one of five unit photo cards and one of five postcards. The booklets and the packaging are designed differently depending on the version.
Have you already decided on a version, or do you still need some time? Maybe the teasers that will be released over the next few days will help you decide. It all started yesterday with a video teaser on YouTube:
What does the word “Antifragile” mean?
A simple example is the Hydra, a three-headed dragon from Greek mythology. If you cut off one of its heads, two new ones grow back. So it becomes stronger when it is hurt. Being antifragile therefore means becoming stronger when you face challenges or are under stress.
The two qualities FEARLESS (in German: Furchtlos) and ANTIFRAGILE go together very well, don't they? We're curious what LE SSERAFIM's future albums will be called!
