Many K-pop groups often face plagiarism accusations. Just recently, the global girl group Katseye faced criticism for outfits that looked a bit like Blackpink’s Jennie and Jisoo. Some people also pointed out similarities between Katseye and Aespa. Now, another group, I-dle, is in the spotlight. Their latest comeback teasers have caused quite a stir, with many fans saying they see signs of plagiarism. Specifically, Minnie’s teaser images, where she sports a blue fur jacket. After looking at the teaser, many fans were reminded of Red Velvet’s Seulgi during her solo activities.
Soyeon’s teasers have also caught the attention of many netizens. It seems like some of the styling choices and vibe have led to these plagiarism accusations. Take a look at what the netizens are saying. One user wrote, “i wonder if their fans will try to deny it the same way they did when this was released 3 months after psycho.” Another user had a different opinion saying, “this one is not copying it’s just the same concept in a garden the recent ones def are tho bc minnie and seulgis were so similar i didn’t even know it was two diff ppl.”
The discussions didn’t stop. One X user wrote, “They dont need to. These coincidentes are normal and just morons would suspect anything. Get a Life.” Similarly, another X user wrote, “God forbid women wear black.”
