Jeans Member Finally Responds to NewJeans Plagiarism! Fans Defend Amid Controversy

NewJeans has recently found itself in the midst of a major controversy, facing serious plagiarism allegations. On May 20, accusations emerged that NewJeans' branding and choreography were strikingly similar to those of the Mexican group Jeans. This sparked a heated debate online, with fans quickly coming to NewJeans' defense and demanding answers.
As images and comparisons spread like wildfire, the young members of NewJeans, all under 18, were bombarded with hateful comments from fans worldwide. The situation intensified when, on May 21, a concerned fan took to TikTok to highlight the backlash, tagging Jeans in a plea for their perspective. Surprisingly, Jeans responded positively, saying, “We love that the 90s has come back and reached new generations,” seemingly acknowledging NewJeans' nostalgic influence.
Despite the supportive tone from Jeans, the controversy has put HYBE, NewJeans' management company, under scrutiny. Netizens have criticized HYBE for a perceived lack of originality and oversight in their productions.

NewJeans arent all underaged, Hyein is the only one under 18, but the rest are of age or over.

At this point Korea should sing their own folk song otherwise they are all copying. Plus they shouldn't include english and other language in their lyrics. Cmon guys, what the hell is wrong with singing same genre.

Pls don't forget that BTS wrote their own songs. RM and Suga mostly composed and arrange from the lyrics to music arrangement. They are the first group that came out of the stereotype boy group songs that SM (Where MHJ came from), YG and JYP. The topic of their songs are straight up society issues and mental health. Funny how as a sister label. MHJ resorted to copying the concepts and even Bubble gum is a direct plagiarization. Getting a payout of 150M USD to copy paste. 😅 Hybe made a wrong move in hiring her.

"All under 18" POV "Newjeans: 👁👄👁

[@funnyfgskn]

I am sure people are crazy and like pig. That’s sampling and taking the vibes instead of copying.

[@whatever6455]

Now if only MHJ, New Jeans, and their fans can also say the same thing (like what Jeans said to New Jeans) to Illit, whom they accused of plagiaring them. However, I doubt MHJ can be as mature as the Jeans members.

Lmao Min Heejin won the court case and illit's company did plagiarise ador

[@gia42472]

It wasn't just about the concept but also marketing. New jeans had a debut in fashion event and so did illit. Newjeans and illit have the same photoshoot, there's no difference. Newjeans did a predebut hanbok photoshoot and so did illit. Illit have same camera and video techniques as newjeans. The choreography is also same. It's not just the y2k concept but everything from hair to fashion to marketing to media appearances.

@@gia42472she did not win the court case the case is not closed what she won was a temporary block for her dismissal till the end of her contract and 2 of her close board members are going to be dismissed and replaced by hybe official’s so she’s cornered this whole situation will probably end after the end of summer due to many factors

@@gia42472you act like this stuff is unique to nwjns so many idol groups have done the same thing like why don’t you mention all the shit mhj has been passing as her own unique ideas

[@gia42472]

@@fruitloops6719 but MHJ won the case 💀💀 And the choreography was copied, the photoshoot was copied and the videography was copied. These things are unique to newjeans only. I'm not even talking about the y2k concept. Coincidences happen one or two time not all the time. Like how can the photoshoots be exact copy? I feel bad for illit girls because they're so young and have to go through this just because of their company.

Since NewJeans is in the industry everything is worse. 1st: Anyone can say anything, They chose this life so don't come with their age. 2nd: Since NJ debuted the fanwars are growing. 3rd: Not hating on the girls with this one but on HYBE. Hybe gg's are almost all copying someone. So it's not surprising now either. HYBE should give attention to the talented groups like Fromis_9 not to those who cannot sing live. (meaning almost all hybe gg.) 4th: NewJeans just think they are someone big but not. I mean many people are before them and more famous but these girls act like they are at top. If Taylor Swift, BTS or Adele act like this i can understand. But they are still rookies they should where is their place.

Actually I keep supporting NJ to keep promoting in a healthier ambience, but not with MHJ and her bunch of Rabid Bunnies. Let Bunnies being Bunnies like they used to be. They should have fun instead of attacking other idol and accusing sh*t

[@funnyfgskn]

Also no one is hating, they just won no.1 again.
