Illit agency pulls in an idol group to counter attempts to refute plagiarism allegations

video: Belif’s statement on plagiarism suspicions

source: Belift Lab via YouTube

[+4,500] If your goal is to at least prove that nothing has been plagiarized, you should show reference materials, sketches, photo plates, etc., right? (I heard the previous best comment was deleted haha)

[+3,900] The New Jeans image Hybe used at 22:32 is marked with a '3', meaning it was saved from DC's mobile app. So Hybe is now using resources from the incel website to produce official video content? Hahahahahahaha

[+3,600] Annoying things about this video: #1 Belif is basically saying that the 'point' choreography is the finger part, so please ignore the 2-3 seconds of choreography that looks completely similar to another group's choreography. #2 It's ridiculous because New Jeans is referencing trends from 30 years ago, including the Mexico Jeans clip, but it's hard to believe that copying your own group in just a year or two is the same as referencing another group. It can't be done. Group #3 from 30 years ago is a complete copy of the existing photo, but there is no mention of the crosswalk photo with the white shirt, black skirt, and pigtails. #4 The tennis skirt part… Min Hee-jin already made it. f(x)'s Rum Pum Pum Pum. We are leading this domestic trend. #5 Looking at the video, it appears that Min Hee-jin was the first to point out that Illit copied her New Jin, but these accusations were spreading on the Internet and among the public even before Illit made her debut. It also appears in court documents. It's so ridiculous that Belif wants to leave everything to one person. #6 The part about BTS is so obvious that Belif is now trying to request an SOS from international forces. KBS invited Newjin, so why not sue KBS instead?

[+2,300] Hybe has hired many people from the gaming industry. This is an industry where games copy each other and previous versions like Lineage 1, 2, 3, X and release the same game under a different name, why would you think? Would that suit an idol group?

[+2,400] Why is the hive whining so much?? Stop bringing your internal problems to the public. If you want to combat these rumors, come up with a unique and creative concept that the public can judge and decide on. stop whining

[+2,200] Blackpink concept photo taken by Belif. Did you know that the creative director of that concept is rooting for Min Hee-jin hahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha Hive is so stupid that I don't understand it now… And the tennis skirt trend was started by f(x) director Min Hee-jin~

[+1,900] NMIXX's 'Love Me Like This' was released in March 2023, and New Jeans' Ditto was released in January 2023. Ditto was released first, but this video is set as if Ditto was released after Love Me Like This. Yes, lol. At this time, does Belif really think that the public can be mistaken for an idiot, or is he himself an idiot? Doesn't the entertainment agency that produces the 4th generation girl group even know when the song came out last year?

[+1,900] The explanation about the hair choreography is also funny -> It can't be helped that they are a girl group. Is that the only excuse? ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ wtf

[+346] You can try to tarnish the image of Belift, New Jeans and every other group all you want, but that will never solve your problems. Please delete this video and focus more on managing the group. It's abundantly clear that your actions right now are fueled by guilt.

[+193] The funniest thing is that since Min Hee-jin has been in the entertainment industry with SES since 2002, whatever material Belif received must have gone through Min Hee-jin. Haha Min Hee-jin is the trend history of K-blueprint pop.

[+418] How Belift took on NMIXX: #1 They used member Lily's name without consent. #2 They are now accusing NMIXX of plagiarizing New Jeans.

[+175] I'm a BTS fan and I'm sick of Belift associating us with ILLIT. The reason Newjin performed in the palace was because of his influence hahahahahahaha I'm so sick of Hive trying to use ARMYs as a shield every time they're in hot water like this instead of treating them fairly. If what Belif claimed is true, all idol groups that Hive belongs to should be able to perform at the palace, but New Jeans was the only one.

[+424] It's now abundantly clear that Hybe is run by people who have been working in the gaming industry for decades. Daeung and Min Hee-jin are focusing on the idol industry, and Hive is using the same tactics they tried and failed in the gaming industry.

[+245] Belift uses all kinds of negative BGM and sound effects every time it shows Newjin on the screen. Wait, is this video really uploaded by a major agency?… It looks like a rumor channel video.

[+379] Hive really dragged Illit in by saying, “The opinions of Illit members were reflected”… Hive completely ruined the excuse when fans said, “The kids are naive. They just do what they're told.” ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ I doubt that the kids know about this, so please just criticize the agency.” Hahaha. It's a group of hive psychos. Look at them grabbing their hair and pulling them together hahaha.

[+115] As you can see from the story of Blackpink's creative director… Belift is basically becoming a blacklist for the entire industry. Illit's director Heo Se-ryeon must quit the company and find a new job.

[+262] Hive continued to accuse Min Hee-jin of dragging other idols into this mess, but in the 30 minutes that Belift posted this video, they had Blackpink, newjin, IVE, girlfriend, NMIXX, ENHYPEN, SES, Fin.K.L., Girls' Generation, and Lovely. Z, Seventeen, IZ*ONE, Triple S, Laboum, Pristine, DIA, BTS…

[+95] I wonder what Belif was thinking after making the video “Kkkkk Min Hee-jin, it’s over!” Hahahahahahaha

[+436] Heejin Min did not sue Illit for plagiarism. The public did it first.

[+453] In my life, I have never once heard someone say, “New Gene copied Blackpink.” Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha is hive sane right now?

[+277] If you don't know that Min Hee-jin is the person who made tennis skirts a trend in the idol world, you should really quit your job… Do you really not know your own industry that much? Haha, I don't think people in the game industry knew that…

[+677] Hive is desperate, they say that the tennis skirt trend started when Blackpink was actually f(x) under Min Hee-jin.

[+123] Hive said he would protect Illit, but look at him completely nailing it to the wall lol How did no one on the team say this video was a bad idea? How can you do the worst thing possible in a case like this?

[+967] Stop trying to drag this into BTS vs New Jeans for ARMYs to do their dirty work LOL It's so pathetic. Overseas fans can also see your dirty tricks.

[+1,500] I don't even know if Hybe has the audacity to mention what Pristin and Gfriend did to them in this video. Don't avoid the real problem at hand by dragging in another group.

[+88] As if attacking Espa wasn't enough, Hive is now aiming for everyone's heads lol. Even Blackpink's creative director denies having anything to do with this video lol.

[+120] Illit's biggest anti is Belift LOL The person who verified this video should be kicked out of the industry LOL

[+208] Even now, it's surprising that Min Hee-jin survived while working with such low-ranking people…

[+131] The concept of Illit is that of teenagers dreaming of fat ajussi dogs with no aesthetic vision.

[+2,900] Hive claims that ILLIT, who stands on stage in a lace skirt and mesh, provides fashion inspiration to teenagers… Does this mean that this is the fashion that Ajussi dreamed of as Lolita?

[+219] It's so funny that the video that was trying to prove that they didn't plagiarize ended up being a video of people whining, “But New Gene also plagiarized!!!” All the time lol

[+654] “It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not” ???????????? But why doesn't it matter lol What's funny about this?

[+69] Azusis, listen carefully… There have been suspicions of plagiarism since Illit was first released… but Min Hee-jin's opinion is not the only one haha…

[+50] It's funny how Hive ends this with ILLIT at the end of the video. Haha, this is the company that threw their phones at the girls during the live broadcast to tell them to delete their malicious comments, right? If you truly cared for Wonhee, you wouldn't have let her do the work of deleting malicious comments, damn it.

[+1,200] All Hive had to do was put the scandal to rest and come up with a better, more unique concept next time. It's so unfortunate that they are now making the choice to bring in idol groups from other agencies as well. Illit had raised suspicions of plagiarism even before Min Hee-jin mentioned it. Instead of trying to do better and solve the problem, Hybe took a combative attitude throughout (especially when ILLIT's creative director attacked Heejin Min).

[+71] Well, here's proof that Hybe employees are trolling incel boards.

[+2,000] Real question.. before I uploaded this video, not a single person said no…?? Doesn't anyone have the brains to stop this company from going out?

[+92] This is why ILLIT Twitter is following the New Jeans anti-account… To get the information needed to make a video hahahahahahahahaha

[+40] Belift: But New Jeans also followed NMIXX! #1 The choreography is not the same. #2 New Jeans’ song came out 3 months earlier.

[+1,200] Wait a minute, is this really the official YouTube channel…? Therefore, not only did Belif fail to persuade the public through this video, but they also cannot accuse Min Hee-jin of dragging another group into the scandal. What have BP and NMIXX done to deserve this?

[+35] The sore part of this is that when you read comments defending ILLIT/Hybe, you can see that the comments were written by smelly ajusshis… which says a lot about what the concept of demographic ILLIT does. It tells you that.

[+644] Blackpink’s visual director told me to shut up.

[+808] Wow… I now understand why Illit's concept is so old-fashioned and outdated. The whole team is made up of a bunch of unaesthetic hillbillies lol. The best they came up with was this video.

[+274] So why can't Heejin Min talk about ILLIT when she talks about more than a dozen groups in the video here? Haha, I'm really curious how Hive will react after posting this. This really feels like a video from a rumor channel rather than the company's official account.

[+112] Director, when did you start working at Belift?
