During the ongoing legal dispute between HYBE Labels and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, accusations have emerged that NewJeans’s song “Attention”plagiarized a song from 2021.
Following accusations that NewJeans had plagiarized their entire concept from 1990s Mexican girl group Jeans, many are now pointing out the striking resemblance between their debut song and a 2021 release. Just for context, “Attention”was released in 2022.
People noticed that the introduction of “Attention”bears a striking resemblance to Pace’s 2021 track “Living Backwards.”Both songs incorporate similar synths, rhythm, and tempo. In fact, some listeners have even claimed that the two songs sound nearly identical upon first listen. The use of synths is consistent throughout both tracks.
The major contrast lies in the fact that Pace’s song primarily features rap, whereas “Attention”is more centered on vocals.
Despite speculation by others that it was sampled, there is no evidence to support this claim.
In addition, 250 is recognized as the producer.
It is probable that Pace and the writers of “Living Backwards”did not obtain permission to sample the song, as there is no reference to them in the given information.
Lol, is not a sample. she’s not credits anything. when its come to nj its called sample, when come to other groups tokkies says plagiarism. hypocrite 1

After netizens were made aware of this, they shared their disappointment on social media. They pointed out that NewJeans’s CEO, Min Hee Jin, had previously accused ILLIT of copying NewJeans’s concept and sound. It is now ironic that evidence is emerging suggesting that NewJeans’s career may have also been imitated.
the audacity this woman has to say others plagiarized her when attention is an exact copy of “living backwards”? https://t.co/RSIZF8bD41 pic.twitter.com/0PVH190TXh

Her whole career based on copying apparently inspiration and sampling when it comes to her but for others it’s plagiarism.

Some individuals pointed out that NewJeans has faced accusations of plagiarism in the past for their music. After their most recent single, “Bubble Gum,”was released, there were allegations that it was copied from SHAKTAK’s “Easier Said Than Done,”which was also released in 1982.
Not to mention newjean’s upcoming songs bubblegum and how sweet are plagiarized too from shakatak and an indian movie song, respectively

Conversely, individuals joked that they are grateful this was brought to attention as it exposed them to the concept of “Living Backwards.”
