On August 30, a post was published on the popular Korean online community Nate Pann titled “LE SSERAFIM’s lyrics are a real shame.”
“Shame-play” is a Korean slang term that refers to the act of creating or forcing a situation that can humiliate a specific person. Specifically, the post includes a screenshot of the lyrics to LE SSERAFIM’s new song “Pierrot,” which highlights the unnecessary mention of veteran singers like IU and Lee Hyo-ri in the line “IU and Lee Hyo-ri, who’s next?”
The post has gone viral with 119,784 views and countless comments. Many comments agree that the lyrics are too embarrassing, while others point out that other singers like Kim Wan-sun and Uhm Jung-hwa are also mentioned in the first verse of the song, especially the line “Kim Wan-sun and Uhm Jung-hwa, who’s next?”
Here are some comments:
“I’m sure it was embarrassing for them to sing too.”
“The first verse also mentions Kim Wan-sun and Um Jung-hwa lol Are you just doing it to follow the theme?”
“The lyrics are one thing, but the result of this comeback is terrible… While NewJeans aespa IVE are ranked 1st and 2nd every time despite the huge competition, LE SSERAFIM are not in the top 50 despite the ranking being like an empty battlefield? Were you guys so busy manipulating all the time? How can the ranking come out like this? LOL”
“Ugh… Who wrote the lyrics;;”
“Why didn’t you sing Taylor Rihanna instead… No, just don’t sing lyrics like that”
“It’s a different level, it’s not too rude…”
“The part between Kim Wan-sun and Uhm Jung-hwa is more shocking. LOL No, they are not even from that generation, they grew up watching Kim Wan-sun and Uhm Jung-hwa. Are you adapting to that generation because you only have old people as fans? LOL”
“Their company is their anti… Ha”
