LE SSERAFIM has been hit with numerous accusations of plagiarism over the short span of years since they debuted. The accusations started after the release of their first studio album UNFORGIVEN in 2023. Moving on to 2025, three days ago on February 20, LE SSERAFIM released a teaser clip of their latest music video titled Born Fire on their official Instagram account.
As expected, LE SSERAFIM fans expressed their excitement in the comment section, eagerly anticipating the album's release on March 14, 2025. However, netizens on X had something different to say regarding the teaser clip LE SSERAFIM released.
On X, a fan account going by the username @baejeanies has posted a detailed list of sources LE SSERAFIM have "plagiarised" from. In response to this post, a LE SSERAFIM fan commented,
"speeding the clips up, slowing some parts down, cutting and chopping the trailer up to get this 2 second montage… that’s not plagiarism. and for this whole list. just because two songs are similar doesn’t mean it’s plagarism. there has been no legal action" - @notlkellnqs stated.
Fans debate whether LE SSERAFIM's latest album trailer is plagiarized or not
