People on Twitter accuse Min Heejin of plagiarising a Japanese girlgroup from the 90s

lmao and that group took inspiration from an American group TLC if I remember it right. These people/kids really have no idea. Japan also took/take inspirations from Europe and American music.

Really sad to see fans being weaponized to this extent and losing their marbles over "getting" her.

99% of kpop isnt original

I am guessing that anything MHJ puts out from now on is going to mocked for plagiarism by fans of all Hybe's groups, Riize and Aespa.

lol i guess i gave MHJ too much credit. She literally stole EVERYTHING omg.

mhj has always recycle ideas

i never got the fascination people have with her

her most unique concept was pink tape and some fx albums but after that is a recycling of things she did before or someone already did before

her calling for copying or takin on concepts its basically calling out herself

Yeah, this is what an actual plagiarism claim looks like, TBH.

The Speed company can actually make a case here at miss MHJ

Isn't it true that the Bunny and fonts came after NJs? Why does it keep popping up?

The substance of the music video Yes, it is completely plagiarized, but we chose to overlook it.

No what she said was that Hybe copied the formula for NJs. Basically it was the pictorials, hiring same makeup artist and hair stylist, same styling, having the same sequence of dance moves without asking for permission, same debut type of event, almost the same type of pictorials, etc. It was not for just one thing. I can honestly understand why she felt the way she did. To be frank, when I started looking at NJs material and came across Illit I really thought it was NJs at first glance and I am not the only one. I was browsing with someone else and they also said the same thing. The person asked me why does this group have two names and it made me laugh.

Also, most music nowadays is recycling of old music. There really is very little "new" things even in western music. If you go back far enough, you can even say Japanese music was likely influenced by Chinese music and so on. It's a slippery road. Even western world has it's own shares of homages/inspirations.

But what Hybe did with Illit is not the same thing as these inspirations. It's like they had a math equation they had to solve and they solved it exactly the same way as someone else (MHJ).

She breathes life into old, uninteresting concepts by simply reimagining them and transforming them. If everyone could do this, then every group in our country would be a masterpiece. Reality, now there are no original ideas, simply because the person has already gone through all possible concepts, all that remains is to take the old ones and make new ones based on them. MHJ is really very genius, it just makes an uninteresting concept relevant

DeJa vu?

This topic seems familiar.

the thing is a big chunk of the groups visuals she manage arent that

i know new mhj fans like to ignore the time she was in sm, which was a long long time

but that wont magically erase the repetitive and bland way she directed past concepts who where booed bc they weren't wrapped in a new shiny toy

new jeans new photos for this cmb are in white ass background, what is new or innovatie about that? or she back in her old boring sm days when its just been barely 2 years of nj debut?

be serious there is nothing genius about her she even recycles her own concepts that she did in the time she worked in sm and nj music is on the boring side. I guess it's a matter of taste but they benefitted for having hybe resources if they were in another label I wonder if people would have been praising this concept as much because it has been done before.

The bunny cover one is false information.

Nj was ripped off

This is what plagiarism looks like when a single work has been copied from frame to frame and even the settings has been copied lol. It's funny how those Min Heejin stans overlook this and come at ILLIT accusing them of plagiarism when this is the clear plagiarism.

She will dump NJ members when they are all above 20yo. Hopefully the girls have made millions by then.
