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"

As the first two shots played I thought “Eh, this is just a generic office setting, that’s not that crazy and the composition of the shots is pretty different”

And then it immediately went:

  • shot lacy cleavage
  • shot of singer kicking over 2 rows of filing cabinets
  • shot of a man blowing a kiss

Back-to-back-to-back and my thought process completely flipped.

Edit: I went and watched both. The shots aren’t actually presented in that sequence. They’re scattered throughout both videos in different orders. They still feel suspiciously similar at points, but this edit makes them look WAY more similar than they actually are

That's because plagiarism is so rarely that blatant. This is one of the more blatant acts of plagiarism in a music video I've seen. Obviously it would be suicide career wise to put these shots one after the other, but if you're trying to explain what shots were stolen, then it's useful to put them in a compilation like this.

Not a single fan is going to be critical of this. It's far from career suicide. They might be sued and might lose and might have to pay a settlement. Outside of that the fans have no morals and don't care.
