In relation to this issue, the performance directors of NewJeans have spoken out against HYBE and directed criticism towards ILLIT for allegedly plagiarizing NewJeans’ choreography in a commercial.
Kim Eun Ju, one of the performance directors, shared her thoughts on Instagram, stating: “Oh? Really? Even the choreography for the ads? I’ve been holding it in for so long… Can we call this a coincidence? Sure, there can be similarities! But usually, when people take reference, they at least modify it a bit out of courtesy. But this is just straight-up copying.”
Another performance director affiliated with NewJeans, BLACK.Q, also voiced discontent with ILLIT’s recent release, “Lucky Girl Syndrome.” Taking to his Instagram story, he conveyed his disappointment, stating: “Ah, no way… I’ve been holding back with thoughts like “No way, no way” all this time, but to go as far as copying the choreography for the ads… It’s just unbelievable. The process that led to someone’s hard work being so blatantly appropriated couldn’t have been easy at all…“
The performance directors spoke out as their patience had worn thin, especially since ILLIT had faced repeated accusations of copying choreography from “Cookie,” “Hype Boy,” and “Super Shy.”
