“BTS transforms into delinquent students.”

&TEAM 

1. The fact that they stole the uniform concept annoys me the most 

2. &TEAM is going way too far?

3. The kids saying that these concepts are “common”… You guys are probably the ones saying the same during Min Heejin’s days too right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. No matter when I look at EXO’s concepts, they’re timeless

5. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ…. They really can’t let go of EXO 

6. Stop this obsession over EXO 

7. 10 years of inferiority complex 

8. They really lost their shame 

9. Wow they’ve been trying to copy EXO for over 10 years ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The obsession is severe

10. EXO, I love you 

[theqoo] BTS’ CONCEPT SIMILARITY 

The one on the left was released in July 2021, the one on the right was released in September 2022

1. The group who steals other concepts 

2. Temu EXO ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. The group with no originality 

4. Temu EXO ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. Looks like they can’t achieve anything wihtout plagiarism 

6. There are indeed a lot of similarities 

7. They were so popular for copying but we got shut down 

8. No but once might be a coincidence, but this many? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. So they’re indeed the Temu EXO 

10. Wow I don’t know anymore but they sure worked hard on copying 

[instiz] D.O’S EMPATHY / RM’S ENTIRETY CONCEPT SIMILARITY GETTING DUG BACK AGAIN 

D.O’s Empathy (album) was released on 21.07.26

RM’s Entirety (photobook) was released on 22.09.05

Teaser & behind 

Teaser image & photoshoot

Of course you can’t only compare certain photos, so you can check for yourself with the videos

1. D.O. MV teaser, behind

International fans already brought up the issue during the release back then, but it didn’t become a big issue

On November 1st, HYBE’s new internal documents mentioned D.O in it and this was dug back again

1. D.O is honestly so handsome wow

2. Wow HYBE are simply… hopeless

3. This one is too much 

4. Gasp but it’s indeed similar 

5. Do Kyungsoo is so handsome. But they really copied everything? Why wasn’t this an issue?

6. I clicked in without thinking much of it but it’s so similar.. It’s like they tried to copy every single thing 

7. The fact that this looks freaking the same, but I still can only see D.O’s face is the real joke here

> ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

> ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I agree

> For real ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. I’ve always said this, there’s no way there are this many “overlapping coincidences” ㅋㅋ

9. This is freaking hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fact that they’re stealing from others but do it with such cheap quality 

10. Wow I’m baffled. How can you copy this much..?
