    ILLIT's slide: HYBE's Next Girl Group


    2024-10-11 Maeil Business:
    A representative from Belift Lab stated on the afternoon of the 11th to Maeil Business Newspaper, "The claim that ILLIT has plagiarized NewJeans' concept plan is not true. ILLIT's branding strategy and concept were finalized on July 21, 2023, and shared internally. The whistleblower sent the so-called 'concept plan' on August 28, 2023, which is after that date, so it could not have influenced ILLIT's concept."


    2023-09-01 on the live broadcast when ILLIT's final lineup was announced in R U NEXT:
    A document regarding episode 10 of R U NEXT aired on September 1, 2023. It was the final episode of R U NEXT, and the live broadcast took place at the JTBC studio in Ilsan. In this episode, the final debut group of six members for R U NEXT was revealed.

    1, Wow crazy, they even rigged this?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


    2. I don't think that two of them are from ILLIT though? The one on the top right and lower left
    > The one on the top right is Moka and the one on the lower left was confirmed for debut but she left right before debuting


    3. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


    4. Wow there's no point to this survival show then. If they were gonna rig it, then they are just fooling with the participants. Isn't this a big problem?


    5. Wowㅋㅋㅋ


    6. So the more you peel, the more messy it gets...


    7. Can Belift Lab just admit to their wrong and apologize? Even lying has some limit. These are all lies that got exposed so how far are they gonna drag this?


    8. They really must love rigged-dols


    9. Wow............


    10. But just looking at the comments on YouTube, you can tell that they already decided on all the members of this group...


    [theqoo] NEWJEANS - ILLIT'S PLANNING, DESIGN, KEYWORDS ARE ALL SIMILAR... PLAGIARISM CONTROVERSY GROWING

    ILLIT's proposal provided by informant


    Former ADOR CEO Min Heejin has raised controversy by claiming that HYBE’s subsidiary Belift Lab’s girl group ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans. On the 11th, The Hankyoreh obtained and compared the “Belift Lab’s New Girl Group Plan” (ILLIT plan) and the “2021 Team Launch Strategy” (NewJeans plan), finding significant similarities between the two, particularly in document design and strategy.


    The similarity in design is especially noticeable. The fonts and design look similar, as if they used the same template. Both plans also feature the frequent use of circular motifs. The NewJeans plan was reportedly designed and written by Min Heejin herself in May 2020 using Keynote (a presentation software) while she was HYBE’s Chief Brand Officer (CBO), and it was presented to the company’s executives. Upon investigating whether HYBE as a whole uses the same template, it was confirmed that each label uses different templates.

    The key differentiation points suggested for both groups—NewJeans and ILLIT—also align, described as “sense of belonging” and “sense of admiration.” To achieve this, NewJeans proposed the strategy of using “teen influencers,” while ILLIT used the keyword “creators,” which are essentially the same concept. Both documents cite the same example of popular American YouTuber Emma Chamberlain. Furthermore, both plans suggest using short-form content and developing practical merchandise that aligns with the public’s lifestyle, creating further overlap. One music industry insider remarked, “It seems they changed ‘influencer’ to ‘creator’ to avoid plagiarism accusations, but it’s essentially the same strategy.”


    A notable point is the difference in when the documents were created: NewJeans in 2020 and ILLIT in 2023. Given how quickly the K-pop market evolves, even within a few months, many find it hard to believe that documents produced three years apart would be so similar. An industry insider involved in girl group planning noted, “It seems the market analysis and strategic direction of the two documents are very similar. It’s rare to debut girl groups using nearly identical planning documents, especially when the design, logic, and strategic direction are so alike.”

    Earlier, on the 11th of last month, former ADOR CEO Min Heejin’s side released a recording from a whistleblower within HYBE, claiming that she had shared the NewJeans planning document with Belift Lab. In the recording, she stated, “I really couldn’t have imagined they would create something exactly the same.” In response, Belift Lab countered, saying, “The branding strategy and concept for ILLIT were finalized and shared internally on July 21, 2023. The whistleblower sent the so-called ‘planning document’ to Belift Lab on August 28, 2023, which was after this date, so it could not have influenced ILLIT’s concept.” Belift Lab has filed a lawsuit against Min Heejin for obstruction of business and defamation and has also initiated a civil lawsuit in response to her plagiarism allegations.

    4. The fact that they did all that and still proceeded to sue Min Heejin is f*cking funny. Low-HYBE, go down

    6. Wow this is too much


    7. Just why did Serian Heu post that middle finger meme?

    [Exclusive] Director Shin Woo-seok of 'New Jeans MV' files criminal complaint against Ador executives for defamation

    [SPOTV News=Reporter Jang Jin-ri]

    According to a SPOTV News report on the 8th, director Shin Woo-seok filed a complaint against Ador CEO Kim Joo-young, HYBE CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer), and Deputy Director Lee Do-kyung on charges of violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation) at the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul on the 4th.

    Shin Woo-seok produced music videos for New Jeans' hit songs such as "Ditto," "ETA," and "OMG." He also operated the YouTube channel Ban Hee-soo, which received an explosive response from fans in Korea and abroad by containing videos of New Jeans captured on camcorder by Ban Hee-soo, the personification of the New Jeans fandom, Bunnies.

    In the midst of New Jeans' conflict with Ador, the agency that was filled with new management following the dismissal of former CEO Min Hee-jin of HYBE, director Shin Woo-seok revealed that Ador had requested the deletion of his work, including videos related to New Jeans. In particular, the Banhee Soo channel caused a stir because it is content that shares the emotions and narratives of New Jeans that the 10-20 generation is crazy about and the 30-40 generation feels nostalgic for.

    However, Ador argued that they only requested a hiatus regarding the director's cut of the 'ETA' music video, about which they had differences of opinion with advertisers in the past, and that they had never demanded the deletion or halt of any videos related to New Jeans.

    The war of words between the two sides over the deletion of videos related to New Jeans intensified. When Director Shin Woo-seok became furious, saying that Ador threatened to send a certified mail demanding double the service fee and that he was lying and playing with the media, Ador countered that Shin Woo-seok had actually violated the contract.

    After that, he said that Ador was lying to their face and trying to persuade them behind their back, using them as a tool to distort the situation, and threatened to take legal action, saying, "I will submit or disclose the recordings, emails, and materials sequentially as necessary, and sue CEO Kim Joo-young and Vice President Lee Do-kyung for defamation." In the end, he chose legal procedures to prove the truth.

    The conflict between HYBE and former CEO Min Hee-jin, which started from the suspicion of management seizure, is intensifying. New Jeans is currently unable to trust the management and is demanding that former CEO Min Hee-jin be reinstated as Ador's CEO, and former CEO Min is also arguing that he should be re-elected as Ador's CEO according to the shareholder agreement.

    On the 29th of last month, the court dismissed the injunction application filed by former CEO Min Hee-jin against HYBE, but Min Hee-jin's side stated, "This does not mean that the court accepted HYBE's claim," and "If Ador's directors violate the shareholder agreement and do not re-appoint her as Ador's representative, former CEO Min will actively consider whether to exercise her rights pursuant to HYBE's violation of the shareholder agreement."



    It's not really accurate to say liberal minorities shifted to trump, the sheer numbers say a lot of them didn't show up at all

    Voter turnout is down by 20 million and both parties lost voters compared to 2020

    Voter turnout is not down by 20M. In 2020, the total votes cast was 158,397,726. The current vote total is 143,084,501 with still millions of ballots still being counted. Just California alone: so far 55% of the ballots have been counted, so there's still roughly 8M votes to process. Arizona still has 31% of their ballots to count. Utah 32%. Colorado 22%. Oregon 23%. Washington state 22%. Alaska 24%.

    Honestly barely any.. I think the majority voted against him but he really won white males and a decent chunk of white females.

    What won him the election was the massive shift in the latino vote. In 2020, Biden won 65% on their vote. This year Kamala only won 53% vs 45% for Trump (a 13% increase from 2020). His share of black votes increased as well. Trump won 20% of the black vote compared to 10% in 2020.

    LOL bruno mars is not the reason the song is a hit, it's just really good and would still be doing good without him. Yeah him being featured gave it a boost, but Rose already has a big fandom along with blinks, she doesn't need features to help her chart.

    you really think apt would debut top 10 in Hot 100 and top the global spotify and apple music charts if it was just Rose instead of Rose and Bruno Mars?
