One thing to make it clear, I do not blame ILLIT, these girls are just victims of that company.
I just wish they work on their vocals.

Exactly! If only their team would lean into their cutesy side perhaps then no one would bring up newjeans

Not to mention that Tag PR propagandist is also focused on "songs" as if that's all we're talking about. It's giving when they say "you think they're a copy because they have black hair 🫩" as a way of deflecting from the dozens of other coincidences.

Btw @Joseline I'm repasting my question since you ignored it: is this unprecedented or has there ever been a controversy from two ggs from the same company so closely copying each other? Like another user in here said, YG literally marketed Blackpink as a "pretty 2NE1" and even they didn't have this much aesthetic crossover

rose saw the golden girls everywhere and started working, she didn't even promote her album this much

she's doing what Lisa would've done, I love to see it

You guys don't see the dozens of similarities but somehow see parallels between Newjeans and….. weeeekly. toofunny3 the lying out of spite & deflections are so tired

Army were the 1st to dogpile on illit 1 year and half ago and call them copycats. The moment MHJ also pointed it out, they all switched to dogpile on MHJ instead and saying they are nothing alike. deadbanana2 MHJ is that powerful to cast an amnesia spell on the millions of army all at once.

No matter how differently you ask the question, my answer won't change: no, I don't see any similarities. Vibe isn't a copy. Then NJ is also a complete copycat because they were also created by inspiration from multiple groups, Including literally taking one of them's name.

That ILLIT clip ahh not them trying to copy NJs individual colors too nnnn

btw NJ having similarities with groups that debuted 10/20+ years earlier is different than a group debuting with the exact same concept 1.5 years later under the SAME company skull

no offense to the girls who are just doing what they're told. But if you don't see what's going on then you're just blatantly lying pig

I don't even need to respond to you, they said it for me. In this thread alone they were all calling them NewerJennies and pointing out the similarities before any drama happened and now they suddenly have amnesia. I literally asked whether this has happened at any company before and you can't answer, which means the answer is NO. Apparently according to Tag PR bots, you can't copy "vibes" but we're all in here catching the same one confused

I love the Illit girlies but anyone with eyes can see BeLIFTin is setting them up to bite off NJZ's aesthetic while they are still in limbo. They are completely innocent in all this but the company is clearly trying to fill the void Newjennies left and the people can tell.

Lowkey It kinda feels like Hybe might pull a FiftyFifty or some mess on the 3 TBA members at this rate because the silence is a bit too loud atp redface

ANS was a very interesting agency. For a moment there.

It's pretty obvious that the OT6 EXO members are the ones who didn't want CBX to join the comeback and pushed them out - exactly like the articles, rumors, and even SM have implied. If the members truly wanted an OT9 comeback, they absolutely could have put their foot down and made it happen.

Honestly, EXO just needs to let it go. It's been 7 years, and they still haven't been able to come together as a full group

Can y'all take your petty arguments over these lil girls to stan twitter or something? Like is it that serious...and who wants to read it. Post some **** you like or move, that's why the post count in here is dropping.

a hot booboo the fool mess '(

There's something to be said about how the strongest members of a group can help hide the limitations of the others...and that's on full display here. It really doesn't even feel like the same group.

Unrelated, I bookmarked some random page a while ago to access this thread, and it so happens you are the 1st user commenting on that page. The 1st thing I see every time I open ktrl for the last few months is this gif of Jennie's breasts. dies

Thread is dead because Kpop has sucked all year long, in part because of Hybe. See, Hybe is always at the crime scene.
