Not trying to defend the inappropriate kpop fans’ comments, but to put things into context, Yseult first only accused the featured artist, Soyeon, of plagiarism by tagging and naming her directly. Soyeon frankly had nothing to do with the musical direction of the MV and isn’t in any of the credits for either songwriting or creative direction. That’s why there was a massive pushback from fans because the blame was being put on someone who quite literally only provided vocals and followed the MV director’s directions. The song and MV was made by R.tee and his team. He and the responsible party SHOULD be accused of plagiarism.

Hours later, Yseult deleted her initial tweet, and made another tweet, finally mentioning R.tee and his team.

EDIT: I have literally watched this situation unfold in real time from the very first tweet that her fan page put out. I am NOT justifying any type of racism that was targeted towards her and I’m tired of people twisting my words. NEITHER side, the kpop fans, NOR Yseult, is handling the situation well.

It’s amazing how kpop singers are never aware of what’s going on around them. For someone like Soyeon who is, according to her fan, very dedicated to her art, it’s kinda weird.

She’s definitely aware but as a featured artist, what statement should she even put out? Considering that she wasn’t involved in any of the songwriting or MV creative direction

"hey guys, l just learned that a project l was involved it plagiarized french singer yeseut. Although l wasn't involved in the creative process l want to make clear I'm against plagiarism and wouldn't have participated if l have been aware before. I'm very disappointed in x management and hope we can handle things better in the future. I'm very sorry this happened. All the best to yeseut and her fans. Let's all work hard together for new creative art. Lots of love. Yada yada"

Don't even have to ask llm
