This is SNSD's 15 years anniversary logo
+ the MV director uploaded an apology
"First of all, I am sorry for causing inconvenience to Girls’ Generation members and SM Entertainment due to the controversy over the set design for a part of Girls’ Generation’s ‘FOREVER 1’ MV.
I am ashamed and apologetic for borrowing design without permission when I was commissioned to do this MV and involved in planning and directing as well as even a small prop.
I searched for a number-related logo design to be used in the 15th anniversary parade set, and found several references. After finding a suitable image, I borrowed it and used it in the set design without checking the source. I confirm that the design is the logo of Japanese DisneySea’s 15th anniversary. I sincerely apologize for proceeding with the design of the set without thorough investigation or confirmation.
I will research and check more thoroughly from various angles before production to prevent this from happening again. Once again, I would like to express our sincere apologies to the members of Girls’ Generation, SM Entertainment, and fans who enjoyed watching the MV."

1. SM did the same thing with Aespa too. Why are they setting up their own artists like this? I f*cking don't get it
2. The designer has no shame at all..
3. Why does SM seem to have so many plagiarism talks all the time?
4. Did they not think that this would become controversial? If not, maybe they didn't think that people would find out? Either way, they're weird
5. SM, why are you always like this?ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ So annoying
6. Plagiarizing Disney is f*cking shamelessㅋㅋ SM always has so many plagiarism talks
7. Of all the things to plagiarize, they chose Disneyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. Embarrassing
9. They could've at least paid someone for the font and it would've been better
10. But didn't Disney also plagiarized? Come Back Again from Infinite
> This one?? But they are indeed f*cking similarㅋㅋㅋ
