LE SSERAFIM, the HYBE girl group, recently made a comeback with their album “CRAZY,” featuring a title track of the same name. While the title song garnered positive responses from listeners, the album’s overall performance has been met with mixed reactions.
One particular B-side track, “Pierrot,” has been heavily criticized for its lyrics. The song has drawn ridicule for its blatant name-dropping of popular artists like IU and Lee Hyori.
Lyrics Spark Controversy
The lyrics of “Pierrot” have been interpreted as an attempt to associate the group with established names in the K-Pop industry. Some fans and critics argue that the inclusion of these references feels forced and insincere, ultimately detracting from the song’s overall message.
The controversy surrounding “Pierrot” highlights the delicate balance between paying homage to influential artists and creating original and authentic music. While LE SSERAFIM is undoubtedly a talented group, the backlash surrounding “Pierrot” suggests that the group may need to find a more nuanced approach to referencing other artists in their future works.
