Lyrics Leave Little Room for Interpretation

Owen doesn’t hold back in his critique. The lyrics of his rap include the line, “LE SSERAFIM EASY, EASY, it’s no secret they can’t sing live.” He further emphasizes his point with theatrics, wielding a fake gun and adding “bang bang bang” sound effects while declaring himself the “Korean EASY” and warning others not to provoke him.

Netizens Divided on Owen’s Diss

Owen’s video has predictably sparked a firestorm of reactions online. Comments range from amusement to condemnation, with many calling the rapper a “typical troublemaker.” Some netizens urged someone to take away his phone, while others expressed amusement at his return to social media activity. However, the most common label thrown at Owen was “troublemaker.”

LE SSERAFIM Under Scrutiny for Live Vocals

LE SSERAFIM has faced criticism online for their live singing, particularly after encore performances of their hit song “EASY.” Several members of the group have been targeted by fans who felt their vocals fell short during live shows. Owen’s commentary adds fuel to this ongoing debate.

A History of Provocative Remarks

This isn’t Owen’s first brush with controversy. In 2021, he made headlines for an “inappropriate” comment about ITZY member Ryujin. Owen responded to a compliment about Ryujin’s rapping skills by saying “She was born from my rap genes,” a remark that was met with significant backlash from ITZY’s fanbase.

Owen’s Critique Fuels Debate on K-Pop Industry Pressures

Owen’s latest video reignites the conversation about the immense pressure and expectations placed on K-Pop idols, particularly regarding live performances. While some fans believe idols should always deliver flawless vocals, others acknowledge the difficulty of singing and dancing perfectly at the same time. This debate is likely to continue as K-Pop remains a global phenomenon.
