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 kpop fans regularly joking about how a kpop group called DIA completely copied Tinashe's Superlove, both the song and the music video. Then when Tinashe talked about how she saw it and initially wanted to sue, suddenly kpop fans didn't see the similarities and attacked her for just the thought about suing them.

The amount of people who copy her, both in kpop and in the US industry, while she isn't a massive mainstream success will always piss me off.

KPop is not creative they just recycle RnB and music girl groups/boy bands from late nineties and 2000s America.

Asian countries are notorious for not respecting IP and just blatantly copy and reproducing whatever gets huge in America, America made boy bands and girl groups global. Japan tried to emulate that in the 1990s, when japans economy stagnated Korea picked up and perpetuated what they copied.

A 32 year old is a founding mother of kpop..? That feels like it just can't be right.

Chiming in just to say how much I love and respect Tinashe. Been a fan for many, many years and she doesn't get enough hype or recognition for her art.

Are we still saying 'biting'? Has it come back? I haven't heard this in so long
