In a statement released on May 17, Min Hee-jin said, “Not only ILLIT but also LE SSERAFIM have faced numerous plagiarism controversies regarding the concepts and songs in their three albums. I heard from foreign producers and officials working with ADOR that they are discussing costs with HYBE for LE SSERAFIM’s songs due to plagiarism issues.”
Reading this comment from Min Hee-jin, many netizens have brought up past plagiarism controversies of LE SSERAFIM, at the same time criticizing HYBE.
Below are some comments from netizen:
- So that’s why the company earned a lot of money but doesn’t make much profit
- HYBE is truly taking the lead in ruining K-pop
- I guess this is why HYBE continues to plagiarize without shame. They will just pay anything off
- They covered the situations up and said everything were “references”, but anyone can see those instance were plagiarism
- HYBE is really disgusting. Min Hee-jin, you are going a good job
- So everything is plagiarism…
