Most of Lee Hyori's hit songs were actually direct copies of, not inspired by other western artists songs. Remember when 80% of one of her albums was direct plagiarism because of the main songwriter? 10 Minutes isn't inspired by Britney Spears, it's a copy of a few US groups songs. One of them is Eve and Gwen Stefani's song Let Me Blow Your Mind. The melody and lyrics in the chorus of 10 Minutes is definitely a copy of another western song. I knew it the very first time I heard it and I know I have the original song in my 20K cd collection but I've yet to find it.

New Jean is prominent because of Hybe's financial push and strength otherwise these rookie teenagers will have to wait a long time to be recognized, there's nothing special about them, no disrespect to the children.

I’m a little worried that Ms. Min has dragged these young girls into the fight and they will go down because of it. Saying BTS was a concept stolen from her was a huge mistake. Even if there are non bts fans divided on this statement, ARMY won’t let it go if she persists in dragging the boys into her fight. She needs to let this group go so they can survive… and I hope the girls don’t make any rash comments …. They are young and inexperienced. I hope they don’t look back 10 years from now saying “if only I kept my mouth shut.”

She is dangerous. The law better step in. Hybe better stop throwing money at people if it isn't BTS.

She is paranoic! She feels insecure because she only had one group.

CORRECTION: The name "NEW JEANS" was copied from Brooke Shields famous calvin klein commercial from the 80s which was called NEW JEANS. Why Min HeejIn copied this? Well, she is OBSESSED with Lolita style and that commercial was very controversial since Brooke was super young and her poses on those posters (+ almost open blouse) were very sexual (not to mention Brooke got famous because of her lolita image). That's where Miss Min got her idea for NEW JEANS group name.

I think Illit has small negligible similitarities to NewJeans in the style of their choreo and overall vibe of aesthetics. But otherwise i think their both specifically different. It sounds like something the anti fans had ready as an argument to start the hate train on Illit. Although i was sceptical of how nefarious her intentions were, now MHJ seems to use the argument as a way to discredit another group is so shady and it does make her look hella suspicious.

Will Miss Min claim she invented the piano key necktie as well? Her ego exploded and there is no going back.

This is exactly what im talking about., remember when triple S release a MV that has similar to NJ concept, they criticize Triple S, ehen in fsct tgey don’t invent Y2K

Generation came out first. So NJ Ditto copied tripleS Generation.

Her conference today made her look worse. She was hoping for media pitty votes. New Jeans popularity came about because they were on social media with BTS all last year.

The latest press thing that she did is beyond disgusting. It’s insane to me that she would position herself on a higher up position and blatantly play down other sub labels at hybe (in this very case Source music) and the way she shaded Gfriend. Fucking disgusting

FINALLY a KZread willing to put it out there - every 80’s and 90’s kid knows this 😂 and I’ll tell you this if she’s saying ppl are copying her and new Jeans then NEW JEANS copied me cos like I said, I had the same wardrobe and still have the clothing somewhere from my teens… leg warmers, fluffy jackets, bandage top, bunny ear beanies etc etc I even went as a school girl so many times for dress up parties (using my own school uniform) to emulate Britney Spears 😂 … should I sue???

So now taking inspiration from a decade’s look is copying? And taking inspiration from every single thing or even looking like someone or something else is now copying? Wouldn’t that mean that even making music from a specific genre is copying since you didn’t invent it? Y’all are really using the word “copying” in the wrong way

CRAZZYYYY

as a millennial who grew up in 90s, the phrase 'copying 90s' is quite weird, its common for musician and artist to be inspired by music and fashion from the previous generation, for example, in 1990s there are some group band who were using the 1960s and 1970s music and style on their concept, and its a common thing

what about Ms Min saying that Bang PD copied her and made BTS?

When she was hired by Bang PD nim, coming from SM Ent., I already had a weard feeling. But since SiHyuk would like to maintain the popularity oF KPop around the world, especially in the absence of BTS (he thinks ahead) he thought this girl will help him do that. But she didn't. She is a typical user. She is out of her mind. Hybe will survive without her. Get something who has fresh ideas. Many would like to take that job for sure.

I think Bang PD forgot to check Ms. Min's references before he hired her. Lol

I feel bad for her lawyers, they kept having to either butt in or outright tell insist she needed to stop talking about certain subjects. She was completely unprofessional, it makes me wonder where I went wrong and didn't end up making millions of dollars like this woman did along with being given the responsibility of being a CEO.

Her Shaman allegedly told MHJ that she was being possessed... LOL

To me, I think she wants to create the next K-pop " TLC".

My daughter told me even the backdrops on photo shoots and the New Jeans font were copied too. She showed me comparison photos from jpop artists and they were pretty much the same.

She out her mind!!

She can keep gabbing as much as she wants she's just trying to deflect from the real issue and that's not going to work in a court of law.

she might as well say blackpink copied her nowww

AESPA was actually one of the first group to bring back 90s concept with their remake of “Dream comes true” by S.E.S. They wore all the 90s to Y2K items in the MV and most people didn’t remember it!

We want our 90s back

You are so right. And this has the making of a K-drama! I think the copying thing is a cover for a vendetta of some kind. She didn’t get something she wanted so she's stirring the pot to see what works. I think she just shot herself in the foot.

That woman is crazy... In a very bad way.

Lol- Being much older, I will say that fashion will always repeat itself. The changes are little tweaks here and there. I copied her style in the 70"s.

@beth5870

I was thinking the same about the 70’s

So, the misconception is that she revived it. Fashion often recycles, and people do imitate each other. But there's a difference when someone you dislike tears down your fashion, then copies it because they were clearly in the wrong. That's when it becomes a battle. The audacity to criticize and then replicate might be what's fueling Min’s frustration. I get it. I’m not judging.

Sean don't forget NJs choreo from either Ditto or OMG was previously from a girl group. 95% previously choreoed for a different GG with a few changes. Can't recall if the original group debuted or not but the side by side video of it is floating around the web somewhere. I think I saw it early part of 2023 on YT.

😂 I like how he’s saying the hair styles names like things at the top, strandy things on the side. 😅

Everything in this world has been copied things are replicated so she didn’t invent anything..meaning she is not the CEO she supposed to be and should be fired without delay she can cry as much she wants in front of camera but she has go the whole world is watching the drama it’s not good at all

11:08 that’s called Igari. It’s the Japanese drunk makeup look that has existed for decades. The idea is to look flush like a hangover because it was thought to be cute. 🥰

Agreed about her baseless claims. That's the way the music industry operates. Something becomes popular, and others imitate it. She doesn't own anything. I think these claims are all just to distract people from what she was doing behind the scenes that precipitated the audit. She had a press conference to gain sympathy from people who don't know better, all the while avoiding the real serious allegations against her. I think she employs emotional manipulation tactics to get what she wants and most likely has used them with NJ and their parents to keep them tied to her. HYBE would not waste time on an audit and then taking her to court unless they noticed something was wrong and then found proof about it.

if you ask me illit and new jeans don’t even have the same concept. illit is more coquette and new jeans is 90s but it’ll be interesting to see their new comeback to see who’s copying who either way who cares ab copying done to a degree that changes it up a bit to their style it changes all the time due to trends

Great analysis as usual, Sean! Miss Min got up my nose when she tried to drag BTS into her delusion 😤 is she kidding? Someone should tell her how fashion runs in cycles - there's nothing new under the sun. I'm so interested to see how this all plays out, especially after HYBE audit completed. 💜

I'm from the 60, 70 Era and those styles of tops I wore in my teens. Trend setters are from the ancient of days. All modern humans have no individual ideas they can call their own.

I think the idea of using the 90s aesthetic was already pitched out since the plus global audition and it was not solely min heejin idea but it was a collaboration. If you see the promotional pictures of that audition, hybe based illit concept on these ideas. In this sense hybe has the right to use this concept for illit and min heejin cannot really do anything about it. I think what happened is that source music in collaboration with min heejin was meant to initially debut a similar group to newjeans concept. However seeing the success of aespa and ive, bsh thought that it was too risky to debut this group first. So they decided to debut le sserafim. However, min heejin got upset and threathened to make a scandal over it and convinced the new hybe ceo to allow her to create ador and make source music to give her those girls to debut with her. This obviously angered bsh and source music because this left them with the costs when they perhaps thought that they could still debut this group later and it was also their idea. At the end they provided the money and min heejin just brought the pen and the paper

Excellent video! Glad to see your update on this case. Min HeeJin should have gone after Riize for so having the early 2000s aesthetic

there's nothing new under the sun... including girl group concept... probably Miss Min HeeJin doesnt know this 🤔

School girl look was popularized by Clueless in 95...then by Britney spears in 99 but in America we were already wearing it in 1990.... Dont get me started on Baggy jeans....TLC/Aaliyah/Xscape etc for the 90's....... Queen Latifah/MC lyte/ Yoyo for the 1980's....baggy jeans was apart of American hiphop since the 80's....we should sue her😂

BTS got where they are because of their rapping and singing not just the look for MV for their own talent

Even if we focus on the current trend in kpop, ssak3 did y2k in 2020, jeon soyeon, somi, yena, itzy, stayc all did y2k elements before njs debut’d and I’m only picking music show winning releases which means there was a certain level of recognized popularity.

Hip Hop Originated in New York City In The 70s. She Wasn't Even A Thought Back Then. She Needs A Wake Up Call! Have a Great Day...

Many if not all music groups copy..i love it that she acts and talks like many male moguls..LOL.

And the way that illit doesn't even wear 90s and y2k fashion. Their style is mostly coquette and very feminine. The fact that that woman thinks she has copyright on that style is insane

Single-handedly destroyed. Omg.

That girl should be a Ceo of mental asylum😅

I wore tube tops and even showed a bit of my tummy in the mid-1970s-- even the 90s copied the 70s. We had no computers, no cellphones, no cable tv back then.

She was talking about copying within the context of the company. HYBE is literally using ILLIT to cannibalize NewJeans within the same company. It's like another team taking your project idea and making a bad replica of it.

@@MewDenise it’s not about “family” it’s that they’re all under the same parent company. People who are stans of groups in HYBE know that there’s different subsidiaries and they manage and organize the groups but someone outside assumes that all the groups are in the same company. That being said it’s best for all the groups to have their own sound and feel.
