On Monday (01/05), LE SSERAFIM officially made a comeback by releasing a song titled "UNFORGIVEN" from the album of the same title.
Korean Celeb Gossip - The song "UNFORGIVEN" initially received criticism because it was accused of plagiarizing a song called "Chicken Teriyaki" by Rosalia, a Spanish singer.
However, the leader of LE SSERAFIM, Kim Chaewon, denied the allegation of plagiarism. The song "UNFORGIVEN" has now been well received by the public.
"UNFORGIVEN" achieved high rankings on various Korean music charts. In addition, "UNFORGIVEN" also ranked on the American Billboard chart.
Breaking his own record, the song "UNFORGIVEN" directly entered 5 categories on the American Billboard chart with the following details.

With this achievement, LE SSERAFIM is demonstrating its increasing global popularity in just one year since their debut in May 2022.
On the Billboard Global 200, Billboard Global (exclu. US) and World Albums categories, "UNFORGIVEN" topped the rankings among new songs and albums charted on the same day.
Besides the new song, LE SSERAFIM's song "ANTIFRAGILE" from the previous comeback also entered the Billboard Global category (exclu. US) when ranking 129.
