4) Y2K-based styling and visual concept
In that New Jeans is based on the sensibility of the 2000s,

There were also opinions that the early activities of Jeans and the style of the times were similar.

 

However, many netizens countered that it is difficult to view it as strong plagiarism, saying, “Fashion in the early 2000s was similar all over the world” and “the music video direction is also a common Y2K technique.”

Interestingly, the members of Jins, who were involved in the plagiarism controversy, directly denied the plagiarism controversy and instead sent messages of support.

 

“It’s amazing and cool that the 1990s concept is back in Korea.”

“Sending lots of love to New Jeans.”

“If you contact us, we would be happy to collaborate.”

Even Jins member Partyru acknowledged the similarity, saying, “We’re not that different!”

He didn't show any displeasure.

Ultimately, it was an incident in which the parties involved did not raise the issue, and many overseas also commented that it was “at the level of inspiration and reference.”

According to Belief Lab's claim, Min Hee-jin

▪️ The 'plagiarism frame' was planned in advance even before Ailit's debut.

▪️ Spreading maliciously edited videos in the stock market

▪️ Even the 'New Jeans Copy Monitoring Document' was created.

There are suspicions that this is the case.


After this public opinion war, Ailit actually

▪️ Cancel album order

▪️ Advertising and filming schedules suspended

▪️ Malicious comments and image damage
He stated in court that he suffered substantial damages.

 

However, ultimately, the court and experts did not recognize the possibility of copyright infringement or plagiarism.

The controversy was effectively concluded with no charges.

    비슷하게 보이는 요소는 있어도 시대 감성 영향도 큰 것 같네요. 결국 당사자 반응까지 보면 과하게 단정하기는 어려워 보입니다.

    Y2K 감성 자체가 비슷하게 보일 수 있어서 단순 비교만으로 판단하기는 어려워 보입니다. 당사자 반응도 긍정적이라 논란보다는 레퍼런스 해석 차이 느낌이네요.

    비슷해 보이는 요소가 있어도 시대적인 유행 영향도 크다고 생각됩니다.
    여러 관점이 있지만 결국 음악과 활동 자체로 평가받는 게 맞는 것 같습니다.
