LE SSERAFIM just made a comeback with their 4th mini album, “Crazy.”
“The most hated girl group in Kpop” returns after the Coachella disaster: Music carries the load, one member causes controversy. Moreover, the singing time for the members has been cut down, completely overshadowed by the overpowering beats. Many believe this is a “trick” HYBE implemented for the group to prevent their weak vocal skills from being exposed.
Coming back when their reputation is at its lowest, LE SSERAFIM cannot avoid a decline in sales.
Returning during a period of low reputation, LE SSERAFIM couldn’t avoid a drop in sales. Although still hotly discussed among Koreans, the new song “Crazy” has yet to enter MelOn’s top 50. On Spotify, “Crazy” recorded 2.4 million streams on its first day, the highest among girl groups releasing music this year.
Not only is their performance in question, but recently, HYBE’s girl group has also become the subject of ridicule due to their… embarrassing lyrics.
Specifically, in the song “Pierrot,” LE SSERAFIM delivers a feminist message: “We girls do it for fun,” while expressing confidence and fearlessness. In two standout rap lines from “Pierrot,” LE SSERAFIM lists iconic Korean female artists like Kim Wan Seon, Uhm Jung Hwa, Lee Hyori, and IU.
Notably, in the rap line, “IU and then Lee Hyori, who’s next? The crazy girls of the new era,” LE SSERAFIM emphasizes the idea that “they themselves will be the next girls.”

K-netizens laugh at HYBE’s lyricist team, calling LE SSERAFIM ridiculous for claiming to follow in the footsteps of Lee Hyori and IU.
“Pierrot” is considered the best song on LE SSERAFIM’s new EP. But when listening closely to the lyrics, something feels off. The segment mentioning Lee Hyori and IU is currently causing controversy on forums. K-netizens laugh at HYBE’s lyricist team, saying this part “sounds too embarrassing.” For a girl group lacking in many skills like LE SSERAFIM, claiming to be the successors to these Korean icons is ridiculous and unconvincing.
Korean netizens’ reactions:
- These girls must have been embarrassed while singing.
- The lyrics are one thing, but the rankings are seriously concerning… NewJeans, aespa, and IVE are always #1 or #2, yet they still get bashed. But LE SSERAFIM can’t even break into the top 50 even when the competition is low, really…? How did their ranking turn out like this?
- Uh… Who wrote those lyrics?
- But what’s the problem?
- So what about the lyrics, even (G)I-DLE shouted out Kim Kardashian in theirs.
- I think it’s normal.
