• Past Accusations of BTS Plagiarizing SHINee Surface Amidst HYBE Fallout

    In the midst of the ongoing dispute between HYBE Labels and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, a slew of plagiarism allegations has emerged, targeting various K-Pop acts.

    Amidst this chaos, an old controversy resurfaced, reigniting claims of BTS plagiarizing another K-Pop group, SHINee, during their HYYH era around 2015 and 2016.

    The accusations primarily focus on similarities between BTS's Young Forever era and SHINee's 2014 Japanese single, "Lucky Star."

    Both groups incorporated outdoor, camp-themed imagery, featuring rainbow-colored hot air balloons and members gathered around a campfire in the dark.

    Visual comparisons of concept images and shared accessories and clothing further fueled the allegations.

    While some argue that such concepts are not exclusive to any single artist and could have been independently created by BTS's team, others recall the seriousness of the accusations at the time.

    Korean netizens reminisced about SHINee fans raising concerns, with some expressing surprise at discovering the controversy for the first time.

    Despite occurring nearly a decade ago with no significant repercussions for either group, the reemergence of these accusations highlights the enduring nature of plagiarism controversies in K-Pop history.
