Despite efforts to address them, the accusations of plagiarism against NewJeans remain prevalent on the internet.
The thread was initiated by the author’s mention of the latest comparisons between NewJeans and the 90s Mexican girl group Jeans, which quickly gained traction on social media. The original poster (OP) delved into the unfounded claims of “copying,”similar fashion choices, and synchronized dance moves.
“I am pretty noob when it comes to the style of writing or album designs, so I won’t comment on those aspects. But no, people are really bringing up their outfits and hairstyles lol.”
“This photo was used to claim that NewJeans was copying the Mexican group. I’m sorry, but using a bandana scarf as a top is a major trend.”
“Can you see? Just by looking it up, you’d receive countless photos of it. The one that the Mexican group wore was down to their waist while Hanni’s only covered her ribs. If you can’t accept that, then you should be calling this one out too.”
“It’s just a f**king common coordi. People also said they had similar hairstyles. But do you guys really think that anyone with two buns on each side of their head is copying them?
If you look at the photos, Danielle’s hair was tied into a ribbon-like shape and the person from Jeans only has a normal bun.”
“That’s right, I concede this a hundred times and pretend we’re on the same page. Then are we going to say that everyone with the same hair is plagiarizing? You guys claim that the long straight hair isn’t owned by anyone, but the same thinking doesn’t apply to the Pucca hair?
What’s worse is that there’s nothing else from their coordi that’s overlapping except for the hair (assuming that the hair is an overlap).
Also, I want to ask if you think of NewJeans while watching ‘Cloverfield’ (it’s a horror movie filmed on a recorder).”
“And this train dance. They were just rocking back and forth on their unsteady feet. Look at 1:40.”
I’m just a person who gets upset when logic becomes weird. I am a weird person.”
The post received a reaction from netizens as seen on this article from Pannchoa.
- “These part-timers only posted screenshots.”
- “Isn’t NewJeans’ negative virality insane? They are taking a screenshot from 1 moment to force the plagiarism accusations. how is this plagiarism? It was just f**king evil.”
- “Do you know why? Because it was a negative virality!”
- “I’m a designer and the font of the logo is f**king common. It was just any other retro font, if you go to a website like ‘dafont, you’ll find countless fonts like that.”
- “To be honest, everyone knew that this started in order for NewJeans to get hate. The things they brought up were so different from NewJeans that it gave me 0 dopamine.”
- “I think this type of stuff only becomes a problem when it’s a combination of stuff that looks similar.”
- “Of course, everything on its own can always be a trend. Anyway, this is getting boring.”
- “I think the point is, MHJ was coming at other groups for supposedly copying NWJNs when she didn’t come up with anything original herself. She took inspiration from somewhere else like everybody else.”
