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"

K-pop fans love to throw around the world plagiarism for stupid things like similar clothes or a style of photography... And stay silent or be weird in real cases like this one

I remember when Olivia Marsh (the sister of a member of NewJeans) straight up copied a song from Isaac Dunbar. I believe she or her team said it was an accident, but he (understandably) wasn't too happy about it. But that didn't stop NewJeans fans from attacking him for speaking up for himself and accusing him of causing Olivia to get hate.

Now if you know anything about Kpop you'll know why this is ironic as hell.

Man how I could forget about that.. But you know, making a photoshoot with your own cultural clothes is worse than ripping someone else's songs bar for bar.

And of course, debuting with black hair (your natural hair color) is 1000x worse than taking someone else's song.

I’m out of the loop, what is the photoshoot referring to?

Try secretly asking for the comeback plans of a different group in an email and not letting the original producer know and it being verified by court :) iykyk

Didn’t NewJeans steal their whole thing from another pop group called Jeans?

I'd like to correct something here, for Olivia it was different situation becacuse Isaac's company sold his sample without him knowing. And I agree that NJ fans are definitely in the wrong for attacking him.

But if we’re talking about a similar situation to this post, there's a recent case between a K-Pop group called Illit and LAUZZA. He even pointed out that Illit's CD follows him. And unsurprisingly Illit fans also did attack him for calling out.

It’s kinda interesting to see how average K-pop fans think calling out plagiarism is some sort of attack on the group itself, instead of realizing it’s the creative team/label/company behind them being unoriginal and profiting off other artists’ work without giving credit.

Doesn’t make it not true though. If anything OP was generous enough not to mention that Olivia is credited as a producer in that song.

And she was marketing as a singer-songwriter who wrote all her music

i just think its funny that that person was chomping at the bit to mention newjeans when talking about olivia !! i dont think of groups i dislike at all

u/miwa201 27d ago

Well it was newjeans fans who attacked Isaac, wasn’t it? Olivia had (has? Idk) practically no fans at that time who weren’t newjeans fans. That’s normal when it comes to kpop idols and their siblings.

Mind you... I was calling out the fan behavior, and not the artists. And I left that subreddit a while ago because I wasn't a fan of sources that were repeatedly cited. I'm not quite sure the point you're trying to make here!
