Le Sserafim’s new track SPAGHETTI has gained notable traction on global charts, previously entering the US Billboard Hot 100 at No. 50 and climbing to No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200. The release has also drawn attention for BTS member J-Hope’s feature, a collaboration that has become a talking point among fans and critics alike.

On the KepopChamCham program aired on Cul;PI, music critic Kim Do-heon and vocal trainer Yang Dosung analyzed the group’s vocal architecture and the changes accompanying this activity. Yang explained that Le Sserafim’s strengths lie in blending individual tones rather than forcing a single loud push, particularly noting Heo Yun-jin’s opera-based vocal background. He added that while classical training emphasizes resonance behind the sound, K-pop requires pulling rhythm and tone forward, suggesting Yun-jin may need more precise control during transitions.

The discussion also touched on the linguistic challenges faced by Japanese members Sakura and Kazuha, with Yang noting that “the core of English songs lies in intonation and cultural nuance rather than pronunciation” and that understanding these nuances helps convey emotion more naturally. He and his colleague also offered a structural explanation for why English and Korean versions elicit different reactions from audiences.

Further analysis explored Le Sserafim’s team narrative, describing how the group has consistently pushed strong concepts and storytelling since debut, while SPAGHETTI appears to reorganize that ongoing narrative. Performances have sparked global chatter, with moments like the “vomit choreography” and other bold movements drawing attention, and outfits paying homage to the Fifth Element, noted as part of the visual storytelling. The trainers praised the performance’s expanded physical expression, suggesting it increases the act’s overall visual impact.

In terms of musical arrangement, the coaches highlighted how the track preserves the group’s tonal strengths, with the low- to mid-toned vocal lines fitting especially well for Yun-jin and Kazuha. They argued that Le Sserafim’s charm becomes clearer when the music leans into natural, softer tones rather than a hard push, and concluded that SPAGHETTI showcases that strength consistently. As SPAGHETTI continues its upward movement on global charts, observers await how these shifts might translate into new turning points for the group.
