Park Bom was the one with the most potential with the K-GP, not CL imo.

i've always associated gdragon more with cl since their styles are so similar but ugh... the way yg treated 2ne1 as a whole will never sit right with me

GD always looks like somebody rich auntie who killed their husband for the insurance money

A ClassiK

No matter what they are in the history books of K-pop I love them so much

All of a sudden they became KARD

Guess who but KBS already spoiled it for us

Push features IVE REI.

NewJeans shifted the kpop industry. You may not remember, but before them everybody was still trying to debut their own Blackpink/girl crush groups.

Since NJ pretty much every single company debuted groups with NJ concept and imagery. They defined what kpop is today.

That is impact that will transcend the test of time. It just sucks that something so special was destroyed by company greed.

True but this has always been the case with popular groups.
When a group does a concept and becomes popular, other companies want the success and try to do the same.

Taking that into account, what we need is a group to do a sexy concept and smash so others follow.

Oh Jennifer ate and momma was moving (even though she's always winded diva needs to practice), so close to taking them outta timeout but it ain't happening I fear

The thing is, NJ's fighters are doing the same thing? So what do they have besides a few seconds of clipped dance footages, colorful outfits, long hair, and dance templates that dozens of groups have done before NJ? Besides "Y'all, this gives me this vibe," what else do you have? Saying "This group reminds me of group X" doesn't mean that group is actually a copy of group X. Who can watch and listen to Magnetic and say it's a copy of any NJ? School uniforms, beach runs, posing in hanfu, long black hair, colorful clothes... These never belonged to any group in the first place, so there's nothing to copy. You all know that NJ itself wasn't an original group. MHJ literally copied Speed, I'm not saying she were inspired, I'm saying she copied. From photoshoots to music videos, she copied them for her own group, but you see this as "inspiration," while the others somehow become NJ copies. Excuse me, but this is pure hypocrisy.

And you goofballs STILL need to dig up 30 years and 30 different groups to find anything similar to NJ, who is openly a 90s inspired retro group, meanwhile TemuJeans all leads back to one group under the same company. No shilling and shucking and jiving you do for the billionaire mafia will change this and the fact that people have said the same thing since they first dropped, before any drama started.

if you were an honest person you could acknowledge what everyone else sees and blame Belift and urge them to stop like the rest of us, but you're playing dumb saying "I don't see any similarity" and then digging for stuff from 30 years ago as a gotcha. You're dishonest.

Not them thanking Bang Sihyuk for their award too you guys are seriously a bunch of criminal supporting corporate slaves, which is why nobody shares your opinion outside Reddit and other stans of hybe mafia groups.

I think BTS fans are pros at gaslighting and denying plagiarism because of how much their group copied Big Bang and EXO at the beginning of their career LMAOOO

This is the real solution, I need another Sistar/rebranded Girls Day

Companies are afraid though because group ages have skewed so young recently, they're waiting for someone to do it

Exactly. And screaming at that one user acting like its just HYBE stans and fringe reddit users having this opinion, when the Seoul Central District Court itself denied the plagiarism allegations.

Donkkis need to hang it up, its been days of the same essays.

the way idc if exo members don't get along now, just get back together one last time (then kick out lay) and give us a full album

Kiss of Life could have filled Sistar's spot, even though they don't have a vocalist duo as strong as Hyolyn and Soyou. But they fell off this year, and I don't know what's next for them after their creative director left.

God forbid my fav is the biggest star of all time in Korea and is so visibly fruity and androgynous. ATRL will never be beating those internalized bigotry accusations.

Actually even they said the concepts and planning documents are similar, but that concepts and aesthetics aren't protected by IP law. Their claim was ultimately denied because ADOR had written a letter to Belift about the copying. This is out there, maybe do a quick google search instead of Sniper & Aespann

simeez from la chica not just being the main choreographer for ive but also the only performance director (while other starships groups have several)…. there's something very demonic about that woman

The problem is mostly between SM and CBX plus China is not even letting Lay participate anyway

Their case is so weird to me because apparently they'd already been called out and apologized for the weird CA stuff, and then did it again… So weird and dumb
