LE SSERAFIM ‘EASY’ Accused of Sounding Like THIS Song

Three months after its release, LE SSERAFIM's song "EASY" is being accused of sounding too similar to another song.

On May 17, 2024, a post titled "The song that sounds like LE SSERAFIM's 'EASY'" was uploaded to the popular South Korean online community forum TheQoo.

In the post, the original poster compares LE SSERAFIM's February 2024 release "EASY" with a song from 2017. The song was released by the rapper Velous and is titled "Cliché." The original poster noted that every song except for "We Got So Much" has a controversy attached to it.

Korean netizens who saw the post and listened to both songs couldn't deny how similar the two songs are. The melody and the rhythm are nearly identical, with people questioning if this counts as plagiarism.

Others claimed that they initially thought the comparison would be forced due to the hate train LE SSERAFIM is currently experiencing, but upon listening to the song, they couldn't deny how similar the two songs are. Many claim that they can even imagine LE SSERAFIM singing the "EASY" lyrics with the "Cliché" instrumental.

Many wondered why HYBE would copy another song. It was noted that the company must be receiving several love calls from producers all around the world; therefore, there is no need for them to plagiarize a song.

Some comments read,

• "Wow, my ears are usually bad but this is severe?"
• "It sounds the freaking same."
• "Even the lyrics at 0:17 sound the exact same."
• "Wow, they sound f*cking similar."
• "What do you mean 'suspected'? Seeing how it's always true, just call it 'plagiarism'."
• "Crazy, it sounds the same."
• "I can even hear the lyrics."
• "It is HYBE, so they must already be receiving so many songs. So why is this happening?"
• "It's because they can steal things so easily. That's why they keep debuting idol groups."
• "I thought this was going to be forced hate but I am shocked. They are f*cking similar."
