Summary

A Twitter thread accuses K-pop group LE SSERAFIM of copying music, concepts, and visuals from multiple artists including Red Velvet, Sabrina Carpenter, aespa, and various other musicians and visual artists across their comebacks. The thread questions why HYBE's producers require so many credits for what appears to be derivative work, suggesting a pattern of copying rather than creating original content.

    Song 1: VELOUS - Cliché (2017) Song 2: LE SSERAFIM - EASY (2024) Everything from the flow, melody and instrumental was blatantly copied, even going as far as to use the same ‘ea-sy’ hook in the chorus

    My question is, why do LE SSERAFIM songs require so many writers and producers for what is essentially stolen music? Do HYBE’s in-house producers lack inspiration?
