LE SSERAFIM’s Chaewon Had The Best Answer To A Potentially Rude Question About Their Music’s Similarities To Spanish Singer Rosalía

She handled it like a pro.

LE SSERAFIM‘s music has recently come under scrutiny for its alleged similarities to Spanish singer Rosalía. Rosalía is famous for her unique singing style and catchy tunes. Netizens pointed out similarities between the singing style of “UNFORGIVEN” and “Linda.”

“Chicken Teriyaki” and “ANTI-FRAGILE” also had similar beats with Reggaeton roots.

Other similarities pointed out include outfit clashes…

…and music video scenes.

Fans defended these as trending outfits styles and common music video elements. Lastly, it was pointed out that “Chicken Teriyaki” utilized a cat-paw dance move to represent chicken drumsticks…

…which was also a key feature in LE SSERAFIM’s choreography for “ANTI-FRAGILE.”

As the issue grew larger and netizens continued to debate whether it was plagiarism, LE SSERAFIM’s Chaewon stepped up to clarify the matter. During the press conference for the launch of “UNFORGIVEN,” a reporter brought up the matter of their similarities to Rosalía’s content. While this question could be considered rude and untactful at the event, Chaewon gave a calm reply.

Our songs and concepts contain our stories and message so I would be thankful if you could see them as our characteristic creations.
