It’s been quite a tough time for NewJeans lately. With the ongoing battle between HYBE and ADOR, they’ve been facing a lot of scrutiny and criticism from fans of other groups.
Their latest comeback on May 24 is being overshadowed by all the conflict and even allegations of plagiarism.
Recently, there has been a lot of backlash towards ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and NewJeans for allegedly plagiarizing the song Bubble Gum and the concept of the 90s Mexican group, Jeans (now known as JNS).
Netizens have noticed similarities between the two, such as similar group names and debut album titles.
Despite criticism from netizens, Jeans (JNS) has responded to the plagiarism allegations in the most endearing way.
During an exchange on TikTok, a user asked about the group’s opinion about NewJeans being attacked for alleged plagiarism.
Their take on the whole controversy is winning hearts, “We love that the 90s came back and reach new generation.”
Fans are loving how Jeans handled the situation with such grace and support. Their response is going viral and Bunnies are appreciating that they didn’t get caught up in the criticism and instead chose to approach it with a light-hearted attitude.
In other news, NewJeans members have reportedly filed a petition with the court and hired a top entertainment lawyer amid the escalating HYBE-ADOR feud.
