Fans jumped in his defense.
Koreaboo
Red velvet‘S Seulgi he aroused an intense online debate after his release Accidentally on purpose Return teaser. The stupidning visual – entitled “Album trailer” – has divided the opinions of international fans, with some unexpected comparisons with western pop star Charli XCX.
In the captivating teaser, Seulgi commands the screen in an elegant all black dress that offers great vibrations of superhero-clove that Batwoman/Catwoman meets high fashion. The clip shows the ferocious idol that crashes dramatically what seems to be an exclusive encounter, which crosses a table with confidence while pulsing the beats play in the background.
Almost immediately after the teaser has fallen, Twitter broke out with comments that draw parallels between Seulgi’s concept and “Brat” aesthetic wildly popular with Charli XCX. International fans have particularly indicated the table walking sequence, Seulgi’s angular style and the club ready for the club as proof of alleged inspiration.

However, Reveluvs (Red Velvet fan) defended their idol with passion against these statements. Many argue that Seulgi’s concept clearly draws on the classic vigilant and superhero narratives rather than borrowed from Charli XCX.
Apparently you are not allowed to dance on the tables or make electronic/dance music (both things that Seulgi did before Brat came out). Underlining the similarities is beautiful but it seems #That The album is all that you guys. https://t.co/xllnt3yszc pic.twitter.com/dabqwysllm

Some have also noticed that the musical elements in the teaser are quite distinct from “Brat” to resist how their own artistic expression.
