The OP thought it was similar to SEVENTEENthe group of units of JEONGHAN X WONWOOit’s the teaser.
However, fans were divided on their opinions on the concept as some thought it was similar…
I’m sorry, but as soon as I saw it, what? Is it similar to This Man? The moment you think it’s wrong, you’re telling me to criticize the company, but the members don’t review the concept, draft, etc. beforehand? The members didn’t agree and didn’t release the album? When have we ever said that the concept and the font were ours We only say it because it is similar…;; https://t.co/avuiPfjNfW

I’m sorry, but if you think of “This Man” as soon as you see him, it proves that something is wrong. People say they criticize the company, but even members don’t see the concept in advance? Didn’t they agree on the album before releasing it? When did we say that the concept and font were ours? Let’s say something because it seems similar…
Even the hairstyle is the same as Jeonghan and Wonwoo WTF https://t.co/vOcITprtoP

…while others felt it was too common a concept to be seen as plagiarism.
okay, I’m sick enough to turn into a bitch and argue, let’s go
1) scroll please, it’s not that hard you will find that the other concept images look nothing like jxw
2) look at the packaging (still scrolling) https://t.co/wETQQH46ni pic.twitter.com/pOCwfHCG1y

Aren’t you embarrassed, CARAT? The concept “you saw” is very common. The concept of “wanted” is even more common, and the concept of newspaper is the most common.
Korean netizens felt that it was difficult to consider plagiarism since it was a common concept.
- “You are right! SEVENTEEN is also similar to SHINee’s concept, and SHINee came much earlier.”
- “The issue of SEVENTEEN plagiarism has been raised again because of stupid fans. Can’t they see from the comments that this is a very common concept?”
- “They should stop plagiarizing themselves.”
- “They call it plagiarism? This kind of concept is everywhere.”
What are your thoughts on this?
