Le Sserafim may be serving a HOT plate of ‘Spaghetti’, but it’s unhinged, overcooked and honestly just hard to swallow. 🍝
There’s no denying that Le Sserafim hit a career high with ‘Spaghetti’, the title track off their first single album. Released on October 24, 2025, the song quickly climbed the charts — peaking at no. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no. 6 on Billboard Global 200 — pretty impressive, right?😉
Not only did ‘Spaghetti’ catch attention for featuring BTS’s J-Hope, but also for its bold, almost defiant lyrics that clap back at haters and scream confidence. It seems no one’s going to stop them from making their mark!
But despite all the hype… do I love it or hate it? 🤔
Let’s just say that I won’t be going back for seconds. 😑
🎬 My Music Video Take
The Good 😆
- I guess I can applaud the music video for being experimental — it’s definitely nothing like I’ve ever seen. 😅
- Aesthetically, it’s colorful, loud and drenched in bold tones that practically scream at you.
- I didn’t really understand the lyrics or the context, so I did some quick online research. The lyrics still makes zero sense (because hello? How on earth can you get a spaghetti stuck in your teeth? 🤔) but I like the core message. Basically, they’re claming that they’ll be stuck in your head because they’re that addictive and good.
The Bad 😕
- The opening… what is this? Some random and bored-looking girl asks, “Chicken, Pizza or Spaghetti?” and then—boom— it cuts to a scene of drag queen performers doing aerobics, while one bored participant scroll on their phone. There’s literally no context, and honestly, they could’ve just scrapped the intro altogether, and it wouldn’t have had any impact to the music video. 🙄
- Around 0:30, is where things start to go off the rails. 😬 The MV becomes a mashup of bad graphics, sped-up and slowed-down clips of repetitive motions, and grotesque visuals that feel designed purely for shock value.
- I’ll be real— I hate the song itself. Ok, well the chorus is ok. It’s catchy and rhythmic so I can see myself nodding along to it. But the raps sound so empty and hollow that half of the time, I could even tell if they were in Korean or English.
- For a MV that’s centered around food, I can’t help but feel that the members are way too thin in the MV. (IMO!)
- And seriously… people’s head exploding into pile of spaghetti? Those spaghettis better be graphic and not real food! 😱
👩🏻🍵 My Overall Take
Ok. I think I figured out why I don’t like the MV.
Maybe I’m just too old for whatever’s considered “hot” these days. Because I can see no explanation on how this song is charting so well or why the MV is sitting at no. 6 top music video in Youtube.
Sure, there are tiny moments where I think “Hmm, maybe I’m being too harsh?”
But TBH? I’m just not feeling it — not the song, not the visuals, not the chaos. Even after watching it twice, it’s still a confusing blend of random characters and over-the-top elements that are all mashed up together to create the perfect storm of chaos and shock value.
If the goal was to do all this to shock viewers and burn the imagery into our brains… well, mission accomplished.
My final take: “Le Sserafim may have served ‘Spaghetti,’ but I’m sending this one back to the kitchen.” 🍝✋
