It's not a reference to plagiarism, but a clear robbery? This girl group was scolded on the hot search!
author:Sohu Entertainment
In recent years, K-pop, compared with the first and second generation groups, the Korean style is getting weaker and weaker.
They seem to show two trends.
One is generally European and American style, such as English lyrics account for a very large proportion of the whole song, and some even send English songs directly. But because some Korean groups will choose to enter the United States, or want to explore the international market, I can understand this change.
The second is a bit confusing, that is, some of their groups will use a lot of Chinese elements in the makeup, concept or MV shooting process......
For example, Chinese characters.
Chinese-style sets.
There is even Chinese Hunan embroidery.
ps. It is suspected that it is purchased in Chinese e-commerce, because it is exactly the same as the domestic online sales.
If you just think it's beautiful or fit the theme of the song, it doesn't hurt to use it, the world is communicative and tolerant.
But it's strange that after using some Korean groups, they go around saying that it's "Korean style" or "Korean beauty"?
In the past two days, a Korean group named IVE has been scolded on the hot search, and there is not much to introduce about this combination.
They are a six-member girl group launched by South Korea's Starship Entertainment in 2021, and they are more familiar in China with a member of this group - Zhang Yuanying.
This girl became popular on the Internet for her delicate face and beautiful body proportions.
Not long ago, Zhang Yuanying's circle was also very popular in short videos, and many artists in domestic entertainment were imitated by cue when they were promoting.
Yesterday, the MV of Zhang Yuanying's new song "HEYA" in the group IVE was released, and domestic netizens opened it to enjoy it, but they were thundered.
Some fans of the group couldn't help but complain, "It's outrageous, I steal too much", "I smoke a lot of cigarettes, and there is really no one.......
According to the observation of netizens, there are Chinese elements almost everywhere in the new IVE song.
In fact, when their new song was announced, netizens found that something was wrong, not to mention that this reel was the same as the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The background behind the girls is the picture in the cartoon "Gourd Baby" that people all over the country know.
actually aimed at "Gourd Baby", I really didn't expect it.
What's even more unexpected is that there are so many Chinese elements in the full MV that it is mistaken for a tribute to Chinese fans.
Let's take a look at the Chinese elements inside:
Chinese fans.
Chinese windows.
Chinese landscape painting.
Blue calico.
Copper coin pattern.
Chinese embroidered shoes.
Chinese knots (all over the MV).
auspicious cloud pattern.
Oriental god baby.
What is speechless and outrageous is that they even "borrowed" the image of smoking a big cigarette from the past
Blind guess may be that the planning team of the girl group saw the image of the owner of Baoqing in "The Origin of the White Snake", and only then did they have a hot brain?
It can't just be that you see the picture below and get inspired.........
Again, if you think that Chinese elements are good-looking, you can use them generously, and Chinese fans may still feel very kind. But the problem is that in an interview with an American magazine, the group emphasized that the music video for their new song "HEYA" showcases the unique beauty of South Korea.
Let's just say, isn't this too much, it's a clear robbery, right?
It is understood that the artist who provided illustrations for this girl group has been learning Chinese ink painting, and when he released his works on social media in 2018, he was still marking Chinese ink.
How to use this is directly the beauty of Korea.
Frankly speaking, the MV of IVE's new song reveals a nondescript temperament in terms of composition, color, and even props, and it has the feeling of an inferior version of Spring Mountain.
And the funny thing is that because it is borrowing, the other party may not understand the specific meaning of some Chinese elements.
They make the red Chinese knot white and wear it directly on their heads, which is really unlucky, right?
There is also a string of beads like this, shaking people: "Only Chinese monks wear this." ”
The above Chinese elements are things that every generation Chinese see since childhood, but some Korean idols may have only seen these "Korean beauty" this year.......
There are also many people on the Internet who have a tolerant attitude towards the MV of IVE, saying that Chinese variety shows do not and always plagiarize Korean creativity.
China did plagiarize the Korean variety show model, and the attitudes of netizens at that time were all embarrassed, lying flat and mocking, and desperate, and no one said that this show model was unique to China.
But this time, Korean netizens applauded their "Korean style", as if they had never seen this style in South Korea........
Some Chinese fans chase stars to the magic barrier, and they also follow each other to "dance with the wind", which is terrible.
It has been learned that the ROK has long been engaged in a so-called "error correction and correction group" in China.
In 2023, we will continue to recruit team members in China.
To put it simply, this group is recruiting people who revise encyclopedias everywhere and the like, and change everything they think is of Korean origin or belongs to Korea, but there is no Korean writing on the Chinese Internet, and they are all changed to Korean......
You can see how hard the other party is working.
Just today, South Korean media reported that the MV for IVE's return was questioned as Chinese style, endorsing IVE, commenting that Chinese netizens were too far-fetched
Combined with IVE's interview with the American media, I have always emphasized that it is Korean style, is it really empty-hearted, right?
When it comes to plagiarism, it is common in all countries, but it is rare to say that it is unique and beautiful without reflection or blush.
Finally, I want to say, what's inside, don't use what you don't understand
