LE SSERAFIM recently made their comeback with their 3rd mini album 'EASY,' but their extensive use of references in their work has led to criticism, with some even claiming it borders on plagiarism.

Music critic Lee Seung Won from the pop music review magazine IZM shared his thoughts on the group's latest album and explained that there are heavy resemblances between LE SSERAFIM songs and other pop songs.

He explained, "However, the references used for this album, 'EASY', are painfully obvious. The song 'Smart', which boasts a common Afrobeat sound, resembles Doja Cat's 'Woman' both in style and in the melody line."

Other listeners have also noticed that several tracks by LE SSERAFIM feature melodies that are strikingly similar to those from other songs, raising concerns about potential plagiarism.

Korean netizens commented, "Wow these songs are so similar," "Did they really only reference the songs?" "So this isn't the first time so you can't help but suspect (plagiarism)," "I think the songs are so similar I wonder if they used the songs as sampling," "I think they crossed the line this time," "It's always this group with this issue," "LE SSERAFIM had other songs that seemed like they copied," "I think plagiarism is always mentioned with this group every time they release new music. Tsk tsk," and "I think the label is just so lazy."
