LE SSERAFIM has been plagued with plagiarism accusations since their debut. Their most recent one was regarding their B-side track, “Smart.” Fans found similarities between “Smart” and Doja Cat’s “Woman,” as well as Tyla’s “Water.”

Korean netizens have also expressed how tired they are getting with the accusations. While the girls are not blamed for the matter, they doubt HYBE’s work.
Netizen comments. | theqoo I’m so embarrassed FR. Just how many times… I’m so embarrassed… Whenever controversy arises they just don’t respond… HYBE, please have some face… Your company is only a big one on the outside… The things you do, tsk. From the beats, to the performance, to the outfits and how they sing, how hardworking of them LOL. Honestly, there’s no way they don’t know themselves… So shameless. Whenever they release an album, there’s endless controversies. I wonder why. Are they so talentless that they have to purposely get attention? Why do they cause such acausations every single time? Plagiarism group… No matter how much they go with the confident concept, it’s just an outer shell. I wondered why I felt like I heard the song before… I knew it. How can it be like this every time?
