The ongoing controversy surrounding NewJeans, ILLIT, HYBE, and ADOR has taken a new turn.
Following the plagiarism accusations of LE SSERAFIM’s song EASY and NewJeans’ track Bubble Gum, fans and international media outlets are now drawing attention to the striking similarities between NewJeans and the renowned Mexican girl group, Jeans.
Jeans, the Mexican girl group, made their debut in 1995 and remained active until 2017. The parallels between NewJeans and Jeans have become a topic of discussion among fans and media outlets, adding fuel to the already heated controversy.
Eagle-eyed netizens noticed a striking similarity between the two groups: “Jeans” and “New Jeans”. They share similar fashion styles, color schemes, and even names, leading to speculation about a potential connection between the two groups.
In addition, the titles of their debut albums were inspired by the names of the groups Jeans and New Jeans.
Some argue that the similarities between NewJeans and Jeans are merely a coincidence, as New Jeans is openly paying homage to the fashion of the 90s and early 2000s, which naturally overlaps with the style of Jeans, a group from that era.
