one group is asian

Quote from SooYoung

Even the logos are similar

Nah, this one is a reach

I don't normally think it's great to shout plagiarism, I tend to think of pop as the fast fashion of the music industry and Kpop is that to a T

but MHJ invited this herself since she's the one who brought up plagiarism for at times very ridiculous stuff (like being invited to fashion shows, having a hanbok photoshoot,...). So she can't be surprised when people point out that she also borrows heavily from other people's creative ideas.

that said I don't think she actually cares that much about Illit and they were just an excuse she could use to work towards splitting from Hybe, plus a way to rally the parents/girls.

Ah I don't know~~~ If it's Min Heejin, it's creative, if it's someone else, it's plagiarized~~

MHJ plagiarized Jeans herself and had the authority to talk about other groups.

its gone viral on the above link. Now 610K views already in South Korea.

The jig is up girl.

New jeans concept is not new, they didn’t invent Y2K. Just shocking after all the finger pointing and crying from MHJ about other groups copying hers, she’s found guilty doing the exact same Similar feeling to the boy who cried wolf

this turns out to become legendary meme situation

honestly yes it's viral but fmkorea has a weird way of counting views. it's a really popular site though and anything that makes it to the first page gets exponentially more views.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEWJEANS AND JEANS?

A few runs through the washing machine

I kid

I kid

Don't wash your denims people

omg p*nnch*a flipped to Hybe https://t.co/dbw2MEO21d

That's referencing and

inspiration. Artists, designers get inspired from artworks, movies etc. It's the norm in the creative field. Not like Hybe would understand anything about it.

I don't know why they've been trying to accuse nj of plagiarism when they seem to not even know the difference between plagiarism and parasitism and referencing and inspiration. Either they're stupid and real amateurs or either they really try to damage nj brand as much as they can.

But nobody's gonna buy their bullshit pff. Watch NJs destroy the charts this friday! Stay mad bang sh*t hyuk .

lol newjeans concept is pretty simple anyway, jeans? tshirts? 90s? Y2k? historically it's not revolutionary but in kpop yes it is. When they debuted nobody was like them, nonody felt or sounded like them and still. Until copyllit came and tried (the best their could mind you) to literaly clone nj.

Moroever the music between these two ggs are pretty distinct. Same as speed lol. And people are smart enough to understand that.

none of these groups have enough similarities like between nj and illit. and most importantly these groups aren't even in the same competitive field/market. They're not even form tve same era .

If only Hybe could get 'inspired' or 'plagiarize' like MHJ does . They wish they had half her talent and her culture. Bang secretly wishes he was MHJ .

Hybe must have been so thrilled finding the groups jeans out .

Stay pressed, stay mad, stay bitter .

This is a crazy situation, what the hell

Tati's uninterrupted streak of proving she's an idiot continues unabated

Y'all really want to paint MHJ as some evil creature, huh? The thing is, this Jeans group is old, they're not a K-Pop group and not under the same label. The ILLIT plagiarism is completely different, they are active within the same industry, from the same label. You can't compare this

Ah I don't know~~~ If it's Min Heejin, it's creative, if it's someone else, it's plagiarized~~

If I do it, it means reinvention!!! (marking the coordinates on the eyelet

This above comment actually have 1200+ up votes now lol.

The crazy woman is not original in creating concepts, she is “inspired” by the old school and her fans (I don't think they are NEW JEANS fans) think she is reinventing? That crazy just copy, if it were inspired there wouldn't be so much similarity.

so now we have

Jeans

New Jeans

Newer Jeans

I'm waiting for

Nu'est Jeans

This is just straight copy. Hope karma gives her worse than what she has done to Illit.

Didn't know Dulce Maria was part of a girl group...

a little bit off topic but

Fun fact: one of the members of jeans is Dulce María aka one of the members from the popular group called RBD, which is probably the most popular idol like group in Latam even years later.

I wonder if this was brought up because of that.

this is dulce maria in her RBD era

Having said there are many similarities between Jeans and new Jeans that can't be denied

Pfft, so much for that chicks creative genius....

Did...did people think MHJ claimed to invent Y2K? The issue with MHJ had is that the similarity was occurring within the same company. The idea being Hybe was trying to diminish its own group because they didn't like MHJ and thus were putting out a very similar group in Illit to target New Jeans. People can't honestly believe MHj invented Y2K of the idea of Y2K. To completely start the only groups that MHJ ever talked about similar concepts are groups in her label. Besides maybe RIZE which I don't even think she brought up.

As an honest newjeans fan I admit my faves are the biggest frankenstein in the music industry, just a bunch of inspired or plagiarized ideas, aesthetics and music styles from 20 or 30 years ago smashed together presented in a cohesive package, we newjeans fans shouldn't have spent the last 2 years claiming everyone was copying them because it cleared has backfired on us

Def taking clothing and typography inspo,

But why dont yall listen to the songs?

Because people keep playing into HYBE releasing and paying to boost articles, knowing their army of idiots wont look further than the headline and comments

but its unfair for other group that are dragged due to similar to njs.

MHJ shooters here should know that people anger is not coming from her taking inspiration, but it is towards her complete hypocrite mindset that others can't take a little inspiration from her groups, not even simple things like having straight hairs, wearing hanboks or common moves of choreography while she herself can completely copy a style of other groups.

I myself probably would be defending newjeans here saying that it's just inspiration, nothing wrong here if MHJ hadn't created such big fuss over illit.

So she copied the name, logo, concept, images... from Mexico's Jeans, and copied the sounds from Janpanese and India's songs? Damn she (and NJ fans) should be the last ones claiming others copy NJ.

That's why i think this 'controversie' is bullsh*t. NewJeans are gonna slay the charts. Just wait bang b*tch hyuk .

Stop your nonsense. Industry creatives already agreed that with Illit there was severe infringement not some 'little inspiration'.

Little inspiration is this group, grom 30 years ago. Duh.

And the whole illit project is definitly parasitism at it's best. Or canibalizing nj market.

we still gotta disband I'll it like don't let this distract you from that.

it's still #freenewjeans from hybe and min Heejin cause we don't like anybody #facts

but the typography though that's is way more than an inspiration it's a copy that can't be defended. Not to mention the name of the group is called Jeans

"Using the same font, similar style, and effects to create a text logo could potentially lead to copyright or trademark issues"

The funny thing is New Jeans look more identical to Jeans than Illit to New Jeans.

There is absolutely nothing original about BLACKPINK so opportunistic, jealous Blinks should sit down and be quiet. Your intentions are as obvious as your inner turmoil over BP being called a legacy act spawning 4-5 response threads.

Anyway, this whole discussion is stupid.

There isn't a THIRTY YEAR gap between NJ and ILLIT, and they're in the SAME COMPANY that boasts about its sublabel structure.

It is a HUGE problem if the sublabels actively engage in copying and pasting each other's concepts and fighting over the same demographic.

God damn people are so stupid for this to even have to be explained.

^having an opinion about this has nothing to do with me being a blink I'm even talking about graphic design which is something I'm familiar with. i'm giving an opinion as a person and individual not related to be part of fandom. it's something I would say to any group

and if i were you i wouldn't be talking you kept making threads about blackpink throwing shade in the past few days. not sure if it's your way to cope by shading them. LIterally, making threads trying to discredit blackpink

Don't really matter where her inspo came from to me. The irony here are some bunnies would go to town accusing other groups copying them for the tiniest things of resemblance.
