LE SSERAFIM Explains Meaning of 'Good Bones,' 'EASY' Amid 'Pantless' Issue — What Is It About?

While the members' controversial "pantless" fashion drew massive attention after the release of LE SSERAFIM's "Good Bones" trailer, HYBE highlighted the important message of the album that was missed due to the trend.

On January 26, LE SSERAFIM released a trailer for their track, "Good Bones," from their third mini-album, "EASY."

In the cinematic narration video, the members exude confidence and beauty reminiscent of fashion runway models. While everything was going well, Yunjin and Chaewon's "pantless" 'fit didn't sit well with some K-pop fans.

In the video, the two wore bra tops and "pantless" undies, completing the 'fit with padded coats before strolling down the street.

 

Given that LE SSERAFIM is a popular group among younger people, people expressed negative opinions on their exposed clothing.

  • "It looks like underwear "
  • "I'm worried that teenagers will imitate it."
  • "It seems that girl group costumes are becoming more and more provocative."

Given that "EASY" is the team's first Korean album in nine months since their first full-length album "UNFORGIVEN" in May last year, the trailer attracted the attention of domestic and foreign fans as soon as it was released.

Unfortunately, due to the issue, there are concerns that the significant message that the members conveyed in the trailer is missed.

As a result, HYBE explained the trailer and the album's concept.

In the video, five members recite their narrations in three languages: Korean, English, and Japanese.

The agency then explained that the idea was derived from the poem, "Good Bones," written by author Maggie Smith, with intense messages such as:

"Do you think the world is going easy only on us?

The world is fair - it's ugly to everybody

he other half depends on what we do

Because I've made it look easy."

Good Bones, a term in the architecture and real estate industries, is a term used when it has the potential to be a great house if it is repaired or rebuilt even if it is old and torn down.

Maggie Smith also symbolically conveys the message that future generations should "make a beautiful world" because the world has a "good skeleton," even if the real world we live in is miserable.

Xports News explained:

"In the trailer video inspired by a poem of the same name, LE SSERAFIIM creates a different atmosphere. The bright eyes that seem to be completely engrossed in something and the rough steps that do not stop even when bumping and falling are unusual."

This depicts that the members of LE SSERAFIM seem to be able to do anything easily just like their album's name "Easy" suggests.

Looking at the video, Yunjin crosses the crosswalk without hesitation in an unconventional outfit, Kazuha doesn't even mind burnt wings, Sakura pierces walls with her eyes, Kim Chaewon shoots a cheerful dunk, and Hong Eu-chae, who is eating cake lying down with a calm look.

However, Source Music explained:

"There are also scenes that show that not everything was easy, such as Sakura having a nosebleed, and Hong Eunchae rolling on the stairs, leaving a lingering impression."

The label continued:

"In this album, we will also be able to get a glimpse of the identity that comes from the confidence that LE SSERAFIM has insisted despite the various prejudices of the world.

It is an album that contains honest stories about the anxiety and concerns that exist behind LE SSERAFIM's confident appearance."

Meanwhile, the album, "EASY" will be released on February 19 at 6 p.m. KST.
