이 5인조 그룹은 서울 동부 광진구 예스24라이브홀에서 열린 첫 정규 음반 ‘언포기븐' 발매기념 쇼케이스에서 표절 의혹 논란을 일축했다.

리더 김채원은 "저희의 곡과 컨셉은 저희의 이야기와 메시지를 담았다"며 "이번 앨범을 르세라핌의 고유 창작물로 봐주시면 감사하겠다"고 말했다.

Shortly before Le Sserafim's comeback, some internet users claimed that the members' singing styles remind them of Rosalia and that the certain elements of their songs ― such as rhythms ― share similarities with those of the Spanish star.
르세라핌의 컴백 직전 일부 네티즌은 멤버들의 창법이 로살리아를 연상시킨다며 리듬 등 르세라핌 곡들의 특정 요소가 이 스페인 가수와 유사하다고 주장했다.

It has taken about seven months for Le Sserafim to return after rolling out "ANTIFRAGILE" last October. Anticipation has been palpable ahead of the release of "UNFORGIVEN," as evidenced by the number of pre-orders.

금요일 기준 이번 음반 선주문량은 '안티프래자일'보다 2배 이상 늘어난 138만 장을 돌파했다. 이러한 수치를 감안할 때 '언포기븐'은 '안티프래자일'이 그랬듯 100만장 이상 팔릴 것으로 예상된다.
