Illit’s Choreography Plagiarism Accusations: Already Surfaced 3 Months Ago?

On May 14, a post was made on Instagram by a foreign choreographer calling out the choreography of ILLIT, which had been posted 3 months prior.

In particular, one post within the topic featured a comparison between choreographer Kelly Sweeney’s own choreography and ILLIT’s dancing in a video. Sweeney expressed frustration as an artist and choreographer, someone who dedicates their life to creating original moves, when others use her steps without giving credit. While she appreciates the choreographer from ILLIT learning and incorporating her moves into their video, she emphasizes the importance of properly crediting the source and avoiding plagiarism, especially among fellow artists. She urges for better practices in the future.

It has been disclosed that following Kelly Sweeney’s post, HYBE has acknowledged her contribution on ILLIT’s video.

Here are a few remarks from internet users about this subject:

At this point, do they still have anything original?
HYBE really knows no moderation, their image cannot be saved now
Once again, there is a new ILLIT controversy emerging today.
Can they stop copying another’s work for once…
The original choreographer had to speak up in order to receive a small amount of credit. This shows how corrupt HYBE is.

Similarly, the performance directors at NewJeans have also brought attention to ILLIT’s alleged plagiarism of NewJeans’ choreography in a previous CF.
