This isn't the first time that the group has been accused of copying someone else's work.

Funny copying claims have been made against NewJeans.

On June 26, NewJeans surprised their fans by putting out a sneak peek of their next song, "ASAP."

In the clip, the members had flower crowns on top of their blonde hair, which made them look like they were from another world.

Then, on June 28, an online post called "NewJeans' Teaser Plagiarism Controversy" went popular.

In the post, the author posts several pictures of Park Myung Soo from the famous variety show Infinite Challenge.

Park Myung Soo also has blonde hair and a flower crown in the pictures.Netizens couldn't help but laugh at the similarity, and many were surprised by how similar the two things were.

Fans also said that, once again, Infinite Challenge had seen into the future.

"Is it again Infinite Challenge? LOL.”
"No wonder… Jokingly, I thought the idea looked familiar.
"Members of Infinite Challenge are basically seers."
"AHHH, LOL."
"Without Infinite Challenge, the world would stop turning."
"At this point, NewJeans looks up to Infinite Challenge."
"I think the original was better"
"Didn't NewJeans already make a copy of Infinite Challenge?"

This isn't the first time a NewJeans idea went popular because it reminded people of a well-known show. Before, it was said that the group "stole" the idea for "Ditto" from the show.

So, what do you think? Do you think that Infinite Challenge knew what would happen?

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
