LE SSERAFIM at Spotify PURE FLOWERS

LE SSERAFIM appeared at Spotify’s “PURE FLOWERS LIVE” event in Seoul on Thursday, May 21, in a one-night showcase staged a day before the release of the group’s second full-length album, “Pureflow pt.1.” The event was held at Seosomun Shrine History Museum and was open to Spotify Premium users selected in advance, according to a notice posted by Source Music. Spotify Korea also posted performance clips from the event on its official social channels on Thursday, including footage identified by fans as the group’s “BOOMPALA” stage. The event formed part of Spotify’s broader “offline to online” push in K-pop, under which live fan experiences are repackaged as platform video content. ### Where and when did the Spotify event take place? Source Music said the live event took place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at Seosomun Shrine History Museum in Seoul, South Korea. The company described it as a “D-1 Live Performance” presented by Spotify, with photo zones and fan gifts attached to the program. The Korea Herald reported on May 4 that Spotify scheduled the show one day before LE SSERAFIM’s new album release. (weverse.io) The outlet said the event was designed to give fans an early preview of the group’s new music and included both new songs and earlier hits. ### Why was LE SSERAFIM on this stage now? May 22 is the release date for “Pureflow pt.1,” and Spotify said the May 21 event was built around that comeback. (weverse.io) The Korea Herald quoted LE SSERAFIM as saying it was important to “kick off this chapter with fans everywhere” and that Spotify would carry performance videos and video podcast footage for fans who could not attend in person. (koreaherald.com) John Han, Spotify Korea’s head of music, said at a media session in Seoul on Thursday that the event was “a celebration of Le Sserafim’s new album” and “a moment for the group to connect with Fearnots.” Han added that the night’s performances would travel beyond the venue through Spotify’s distribution.

Spotify said the LE SSERAFIM show was part of its “O2O” strategy, short for “Offline to Online.” Korea JoongAng Daily reported that the company’s approach is to create physical fan events and then extend them through videos and other digital content on the platform for a wider audience. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) The Korea Herald said Spotify had used similar formats with other artists, citing BTS’ “Swimside” event in New York and Bad Bunny’s “Billions Club Live” in Tokyo. In LE SSERAFIM’s case, the company said it would release exclusive performance footage and a special “K-Pop On!” video podcast episode tied to the talk session. ### What do the BOOMPALA clips show? (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) Spotify Korea posted performance highlights from the event on Thursday through its official channels, and one clip circulating online was labeled as LE SSERAFIM performing “BOOMPALA.” Web results also surfaced a YouTube upload carrying the same event description and song label, indicating that performance footage was being redistributed online on the day of the show. (koreaherald.com) Multiple fan comments described the reaction to the “BOOMPALA” stage as “extreme bliss,” but those remarks appeared in social responses rather than in official event materials reviewed here. Spotify’s own confirmed role was to post clips from the event and frame the show as part of its official festival-style programming around the album rollout.

Spotify said fans outside the venue would be able to watch performance footage on the platform, alongside a “K-Pop On!” video podcast episode drawn from the event’s talk segment.
