0:00Shefford, promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for a free content. Now of course the last time I dove into LE's server film was, well actually not the last time, but the first time was October 4th, 2024 and of course the last time was October 27th, 2025. And ladies and gentlemen, we are back again with LE's server film coverage. Because if you don't know the album, the upcoming album Pure Flow Part 1 is set to come out May 22nd, 2026 and of course we have 25 days away from that, well 25 days and 21 hours. So to be specific, but if you don't, if you aren't aware of this K-pop group, if you don't know, it's five members. So you have Kim Che-wan, Mia Waki, Sakura, Hume, Ha, Yun-jin, Kazooah, Hong-un-che. So hopefully I said that right. So when it comes to the five member group, they are under Source Music High, but we've
1:00talked about multiple times on this platform, but just to reiterate, they are one of the biggest music labels especially for K-pop as it's a highly profitable label has an estimated value of 1.8 to 1.86 billion dollars, which is insane. And then of course, the revenue is also helped out by LE's server film as they're under them. And then when you look at the other acts or the other labels, they're not as big as Hybe. I believe Hybe had some of the bigger, let's just say, resources and revenue that you could use as a musician. And for the podcast listeners, just know I am live streamer right now. So shout out to like type for joining the stream right now we're getting into LE's server film. So when it comes to their album that's set to come out May 22nd, if you don't know Ladies and Gentlemen, their actual track celebration is out now on our DSPs.
2:05And of course, not only is the celebration track out and it just came out yesterday, but they have multiple remixes as they have the spread up version, they have the slow plus reverbed version, they have the instrumental and then of course, they have the karaoke version. And as if you don't know when you look at the actual different remixes, you come to realize Ladies and Gentlemen, they were really wanting to promote this track. You know what I'm saying? You guys. And promoted they did as the marketing strategy for this specific track, um, is in the music video ended up making the actual video for the track the six most watched video on the YouTube platform. And when it comes to LE's server film and the rise the fame, if you don't know, obviously, um, anti fragile in 2022 was one of the biggest outbreaks in the music industry as it hit one million plus sales and it was a fast billboard 200 entry. Of course, we're not talking about LE's server film like the one of the biggest Kpop
3:07groups in the world. Because you know, there's BTS, there's Blackpink, but they're very much respected and highly accomplished as multiple billboard 200 top tens for unforgiving, crazy, which we've covered, easy, hot. And of course, the circle album went number one, uh, what had number ones as far as perfect night. And then they had nine songs on the 2025 circle global Kpop ranking. So now when you look at them in the own aspect, you know, without comparison, because you know, they do say comparison is the thief of joy. So the LE's server film, they're very much well, uh, accomplished in the music field when you're not comparing them to the high, the highest of heights, right? Nine times at a 10 to probably bigger than that Kpop group, if it's not a BTS or Blackpink. So now the main thing I was going to get into, of course, with the track or with the video, like, uh, like types of your necklaces and actual QR code, it is, hopefully, uh, you like it.
4:08You know, it's definitely one of the unique things I wanted for my, this is based off my podcast outfit. So, but get back to LE's server film. So when you're looking at them specifically, as far as the global landscape, I think not only in celebration going to be the main marketing strategy, the main marketing tool, uh, to roll out, uh, to, to go into pure flow part one because, of course, that is ways away more, uh, May 22nd. So celebration already having these remixes, the music video being the six most watched video on YouTube, I think if you look at it to, uh, totality, especially on the hauntio charts, which if you don't know, that's for a decade, that's the Kpop specific West South Korea charts, right? Um, fearless, which was the debut album, did 300 to 500,000 first week sales, and we're talking about first week sales on a hauntio in South Korea chart specifically. Of course, we're not talking about billboard or US charts because it's a whole different
5:09thing, a whole different game. I've already talked about that as far as our I double a certification, needing a certain amount of US streams for overseas artists. Now, you know, I could call it a red game, but you know, I'm just laying it out how it is. So, um, it's South Korea charts, the anti fragile album did 1.2, uh, million first week. Of course, unforgiving, uh, did 989,000 first week, easy, strong, crazy, the 235,000. And then of course, you have hot that did 551,000 to, uh, and then of course, overall, I'm just basically letting you know that the one of the biggest Kpop groups as far as top 10, top 20 goes, and they are notoriously affecting the masses. So as of right now, I do believe they're probably going to focus all their marketing strategy into their actual album pure flow part one. If you look at the Instagram right now, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, but essentially speaking, Ellie Seraphim is one of those type of groups
6:14where the marketing strategy I mean, it's just everywhere. And of course, once again, y'all going to say I'm preaching to the choir at this point for people who, you know, already know on about to say, but Kpop musicians, I think are some of the most consistent with having high quality choreography. I don't know what it is. Oh, you know, I say time and time again, Jenny from Blackpink when she was on the show, the idol and basically that show one best choreography. Now, of course, it probably wasn't for her scene specifically, but I think her scene helped out a lot as far as them winning a highly acclaimed award for a show that wasn't highly acclaimed. You know, that very specific aspect of the show, they got it award for it. And I think it's because of Jenny from Blackpink. So anyways, the main thing I wanted to let you know is that Ellie from Seraphim is gearing up the release to album May 22nd. Of course, somebody else is coming May 15th. Is it okay? I got my dope on me. I said, somebody else is coming May 15th. Is it okay? I got my dope on me. This is the Ellie Seraphim segment. So we're going to get to the go when we get to them.
7:15So anyways, with that being said, click my link here in my bio. Let me know one of my social media. So what do you think about Ellie's Seraphim currently having the six most watched video on YouTube for their single celebration? Will you be listening to celebration if you're an EDM fan? And of course, at the end of the day, if you are a huge Ellie Seraphim fan, what is your favorite track and why?
