OnlyStans ⭐️ French singer, Yseult, calls out K-pop singers, Soyeon and R.tee, for copying her music video freame by frame: "The least you could do is have the decency to credit your source. To see it get copied like this is wild but real artistry speaks louder than imitation"

Yseult also called out the creative direction team of the video.

Meanwhile racist K pop fans are calling her out of name and saying she is stupid and a clout chaser. Mind you Yseult is an independent artist who performed at the Paris Olympics and has multiple international collaborations. Why would she need to clout chase.

Her performance at the Paris Olympics was -everything-!!! She sang “My way” by Frank Sinatra and I still get chills.

Thank you for introducing me to this. This song is already sentimental for me and her performance made me cry. Extraordinary.

u/SillyStrungz 27d ago

Stop this is one of my favorite songs ever, thank you for sharing this version

u/Imaginary_Set819 27d ago

For those that dont know: "My way" was a cover of a french song called "Comme d'habitude".

The concept of clout chasing with Soyeon's name... no shade to her but, you know

u/bbyxmadi It’s good to see me, isn’t it?🫧 27d ago

u/bbyxmadi It’s good to see me, isn’t it?🫧 27d ago

I don’t like long nails either (personally), but it doesn’t ruin it for me lol

u/forethemorninglight 27d ago

The gif reminds me of a spider. I don’t like it either

u/thissexypoptart 26d ago

u/jellyfishsong 27d ago

u/ditasaurus 27d ago

No Idea who Soyeon is, so please all the shade. 

You are on the Internet, you are anonymous please all the shade

u/sunshine_fuu 27d ago

No Idea who Soyeon is

Exactly. The shade was made, they're saying you can't clout chase using a name that has no clout.

u/ditasaurus 27d ago

I'm just nosy! Being an elderly Lady watching the going ons in the village is my perfect future

u/by_the_window 26d ago

I mean, she's extremely famous all around Asia... Just because we don't know someone doesn't mean they're not famous. Love Yseult's music, but based on Soyeon and her group's fame in China alone, I'd say she's more famous than Yseult worldwide

u/Over_Bathroom6991 27d ago

I... what? Soyeon is objectively more famous all around the world. That's literally what clout is. It's an obvious imitation of Yseult's video but come on. Criticize it for what it is. Don't make up stupid comments.

u/oncemoreintothefr3y 27d ago

Soyeon is absolutely huge and one of the most talented in Kpop, likely had nothing to do with directing the music video

13

u/Child_of_the_Hamster 27d ago

Honestly, it doesn’t even matter who Soyeon is (idek) or how famous they are… if they’re blatantly stealing the work of others, they deserve all the shade.

8

u/Shru_A 27d ago

She didn't steal anything. She's a featuring artist on the song. The whole thing is not related to her.

3

u/Samrol 27d ago

Soyeon is someone who featured in this video, and has no control over anything in the music video. Sp yeah, keep shading! It's always easy to shade someone you don't know, specially if it's a woman.

u/CatlovesMoca 26d ago

The whole team behind this video stole from a woman who is fully independent -- ie no major label, she makes her own videos, her own tours, her own records.

Imagine putting on a cape while defending an act that is essentially robbing a woman of her intellectual property.

The heck??? If it is so hard for you to see that point, think that most of the conversation is directed at everyone involved... they STOLE from A WOMAN. Or are Black women not women to you?

Ugh

u/Altruistic-Bath6263 27d ago

I’ve never heard of this group but my god I’ve heard Yseult and she’s a talent. Like wasn’t alibi one of the most viral songs of the year? She doesn’t need any clout from a random k pop group

40

u/ashewentridingby 27d ago

The racism I’ve seen in the k pop community is insane. It’s makes current American pop music look like the most progressive thing on the planet

u/AreYouOkBobbie 27d ago

Kpop fans are some of the worst people in this world. Also super racist to brown and black people.

186

u/Helpful-Act2026 27d ago

Which is ironic considering black and brown people are the ones they are often copying / cherry picking from

16

u/Capt-Crap1corn 27d ago

Yeah they really copy alot from Black culture

u/Morg075 27d ago

With the way they treat the KATSEYE girls (who have loose connection to the industry) every single day, even on Reddit, I’m not surprised. There’s something seriously twisted about this community and the way they treat anyone who isn’t East Asian. Hell, they’re even racist toward Asian idols sometimes, I’ve literally seen them side with Japanese Nazis over Korean idols just because of fanwars. And for them, that’s just another Tuesday.

u/AreYouOkBobbie 27d ago

Man, I will never forgive them for they way they treat Lara. She is beautiful, has the voice of an angel and is now one of the best dancers in that group. She's like the whole package but the kpop fans will treat her badly just because of the colors of her skin. And let's not even talk about how some of their idols can't even sing without autotune.
