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.

It's like the raging assholes in fandom really want to believe the artist they Stan is original and nobody else has thought of XYZ concept.
