[theqoo] LOOKING AGAIN AT ILLIT’S AND NEWJEANS PLAGIARISM CONTROVERSY

The court said about the issue of ILLIT plagiarism, “According to the report, ILLIT’s performance immediately after debut is similar to that of NewJeans. NewJeans’ parents also submitted a petition regarding this, but their argument is an opinion about the similarity and cannot be acknowledged as a mistake in the factual premise. Belift Lab failed to present more evidence to refute the claim that ‘it is not similar,’ and it is difficult to say that this controversy has completely d**d down.”

The court then said, “It is difficult to view the issue of NewJeans copying ILLIT as a serious breach of duty,” and “Min Heejin’s raising of the suspicion of copying is seen as an expression of opinion rather than a statement of facts, and does not constitute the spread of false information. As the CEO of Ador at the time, Min Heejin’s raising of the issue of similarity with ILLIT in order to protect the value of NewJeans was within the scope of discretionary business judgment to protect Ador’s interests.”

1. Anyone can tell it was similar 

2. Arrghh this is so refreshing 

3. The moment I saw them, I thought they looked similar 

4. That was TheQoo’s reactions to ILLIT’s debut video too 

5. People really need to acknowledge it already.. and stop shutting others down 

6. It’s because they tried to shut people down. It’s true they copied NewJeans, pretending they didn’t is disgusting 

7. Honestly, everyone knew this, but it’s just that we were shut down for saying it

8. It’s true they’re a plagiarism group. Everyone thought like that ㅋ

9. Honestly, the moment they appeared, so many people said they looked alike ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. Even for me, I don’t care about them but when I saw ILLIT, I went?????
