[+189, -49] So this hasn’t even gone through court yet and been deemed as plagiarism like in JYP’s case? They just lodged an accusation and that’s it?
[+174, -66] I took a listen and it feels a bit forced to call it plagiarism..
[+165, -48] No need for discussion until the courts decide
[+154, -35] Seems more like this band is thinking they can get some money out of this.. either way, hope it all gets resolved~
[+139, -36] We don’t need to know these updates until the courts make a final ruling, nothing’s been confirmed one way or the other
[+50, -23] I honestly thought it sounded similar…
[+28, -25] I listened to it and I don’t think this will count as plagiarism
[+19, -6] The chorus melody is really similar
[+13, -14] So they lodged this accusation and when people asked them what exactly do they think was plagiarized, they disappeared for a month… what’s going on???
[+13, -16] Funny how another group in this same company got accused of plagiarism but Hybe chose to settle it privately while New Jeans gets immediately put in the news
[+10, -1] Just saying this only because Min-ssi has made plagiarism her hill to die on but if ‘Bubble Gum’ does end up being judged as plagiarized, then people won’t take kindly to Min’s words anymore, and even if ‘Bubble Gum’ is determined to not be plagiarized, then all the other groups that Min’s accusing of copying New Jeans can make the argument that they’re just copying up to ‘Bubble Gum’ level. Either way, it’s not good for their image.
[+8, -1] Not a good look for them considering how much Min’s been dragging other groups for plagiarizing…
[+8, -1] The songs sound so similar to me
