[+108, -46] There wasn’t ever one single article about Le Sserafim’s plagiarism controversy, and yet Nate looks to be very excited about New Jeans’
[+86, -29] “The chord used by ‘Easier Said Than Done’ has been found to be completely different from the one used in ‘Bubble Gum.’ ‘Easier Said Than Done’ uses Bb-Gm-Dm D C while ‘Bubble Gum’ uses D7-C#7-F#m Bm.”
[+84, -21] You can tell who’s behind all this news when Nate usually never pushed any New Jeans articles at the height of their fame but now that they’re in Japan, they keep pushing this “oh they’re J-Pop now” narrative.
[+68, -19] That melody line is used widely, there are dozens of songs that use it, even songs released earlier than Shakatak’s
[+57, -23] Love it when Hybe fans whine about Min Hee Jin when she’s not even the one who composed this song, completely missing the point of what was copied. ILLIT is getting hate for their encore singing skills and their creative director putting up the middle finger on top of Hybe trying to erase New Jeans from their label.
[+14, -8] Whatever ㅋㅋ seems pretty obvious Shakatak is trying to make a quick buck off of this ㅋ
[+9, -3] Is Hybe trying to distract everyone from their boy group copying Big Bang’s music video concept and song?
[+4, -4] Hmm, Shakatak is sure moving like they’re backed by someone powerful…
