[All] Mystery Investigation Team plagiarism controversy recap! Mystery Investigation Team, Jeong Jong-yeon

Here's a quick summary of the Mystery Investigation Team plagiarism controversy. We'll cover everything from the similarity of the title to Jamttel TV's Mystery Investigation Team, to a comparison of the logo and member composition, and even whether producer Jeong Jong-yeon will provide an explanation, focusing on fan reaction. .

1. Why did the Mystery Investigation Team plagiarism controversy become so big?

The controversy surrounding Mystery Investigation Team wasn't simply due to their similar genres. With Mystery Investigation Team already established as a major hit on Jamttel TV, the announcement of the newly released content as "Mystery Investigation Team" immediately sparked unease among fans.

 

In particular, when searching for Mystery Investigation Team on Naver or other portals, Mystery Investigation Team is displayed together or even linked to through auto-complete, so there are many responses that it is difficult to see it as a simple coincidence.

 

2. Why the title similarity controversy is key

The most pointed out part in this controversy is definitely the title.

Mystery Investigation Team and Mystery Investigation Group are almost identical, with only one word changed, and even the pronunciation and abbreviations are almost identical.

From the fans' point of view
If you had just searched in advance, you would have known that there was existing content.
There are many reactions saying that they do not understand why this title was pushed forward as is.

 

There are also ongoing comments in the community asking people to consider how they would react if the situation were reversed, for example, if a new version of a popular entertainment show was released with a slightly different name.

3. Point out that the number of members and the role composition overlap.

Many people say that if only the title had been similar, it wouldn't have come this far.
However, similarities are repeatedly found in the composition of the members of the two contents.

 

The common points pointed out are
- Composition of 6 fixed members
- Leader, brain, all-rounder, action figure, mood maker, and peddler positions
- The setting that the peddler is the youngest female member

As these details overlapped one by one, fans responded that they were too accurate to be dismissed as clichés.

4. Why some say even the logo design is similar

The logo controversy is also one of the factors that fueled the fire.
There were continued criticisms that the font had a white texture on a dark background, the way the word "mystery" was placed with emphasis, and even the expression of the season numbers were similar.

 

Of course, the production side is refuting the claim based on the differences between the official logo and the opening logo, as well as the color differences, but with the controversy over similarities already being raised, the distrust has grown even more as the Season 2 logo has also been revealed to be similar.

5. Fandom Reaction: The Cast Is Being Blamded

The part that is currently receiving the most regrettable responses is the cast issue.
Most comments and community sentiment make it clear that the individual cast members are not responsible.

 

The problem is that the controversy that could have been easily avoided during the planning and production stages was left unattended, and as a result, the cast is now facing unnecessary criticism.
So, the voices demanding an explanation are directed at the PD and production crew, not the cast.

 

6. Producer Jeong Jong-yeon: Why is there no explanation?

 

Despite the controversy growing to this extent, there has been no official apology or explanation from producer Jeong Jong-yeon.
This has led to a controversy within the fandom.
There have been many responses that the attitude of not acknowledging it is actually increasing the controversy.

 

It is also true that this incident is unlikely to be dismissed as a simple misunderstanding, as it has been mentioned again that the director has been embroiled in plagiarism controversies in the past.
