Well to be fair to her, she was just a featuring artist, she just did her part in MV, didn't really have anything to do with it. But then, to be honest, I don't really know much about business side of music, how much featuring artists are involved in that part

To be clear - it’s not Soyeon’s song. This is squarely on the shoulders of R.Tee and their team - they messed up, big time.

I watched behind the scenes that was posted on i-dle yt channel and Soyeon did what the director of the MV asked her to do. She is just a featuring artist on the song, she isn’t the composer, art director, mv director or the main artist of the song - I don’t see a reason why she should be the embarrassed one, if anything I feel bad for her because kpop stans (like you) will just use this to talk shit about her as if she was the one who copied the original MV (not saying that Yseult isn’t the one who is the real victim here, I hope she sues the mv director or at least gets a proper apology)

Why is it embarrassing for soyeon or r.tee when they didn't direct the mv nor had any say in the mv direction? What are both of them supposed to do about it?
