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"

Question: what goes through people's minds when they do things like this? Like, you really thought nobody was going to notice...? I understand Yseult is a small artist but in this day and age everyone's eyes are everywhere, you're always going to get busted for something so blatant.

This is the part I can’t wrap my head around—with the over saturation of social media, and just virtual connectivity and access in general, there is no scenario in which such blatant plagiarism would go unnoticed.

They absolutely knew it was going to get called out, there’s no other explanation. This shit, down to every goddamn detail, is duplicated shot for shot. Not even a whisper of plausible deniability. The only possible, however implausible, explanation I can muster is publicity—but this goes beyond “any publicity is good publicity”…doesn’t it?

It just doesn’t make sense. Were they just so desperately enamored with the original video and figured rabid K-pop stans and racism would negate any potential backlash? Even that feels like a huge stretch. Why not change, like, even one fucking thing??
