[+108, -46] There hasn't been a single article about the plagiarism controversy surrounding Le Sserafim, but Nate seems very excited about New Jeans.

[+86, -29] “It turns out that the chords used in Easier Said Than Done are completely different from the chords used in 'Bubble Gum'. 'Easier Said Than Done' uses Bb-Gm-Dm DC, while 'Bubble Gum' uses D7-C#7-F#m Bm.”

[+84, -21] Nate didn't do any articles about New Jeans during their heyday, but since they entered Japan, they've been constantly pushing the “they're J-Pop now” narrative, which tells you who's behind all this news.

[+68, -19] The melody line is widely used, and is used in dozens of songs that were released before Shakatak.

[+57, -23] It's so funny to see Hybe fans complaining about Min Hee Jin. She's not the one who wrote this song, and she completely missed the point of copying. ILLIT is getting hate for their encore song skills and their creative director giving the finger to Hybe for trying to remove New Jeans from the label.

[+14, -8] Whatever lol It seems obvious that Shakatak is trying to make quick money with this lol

[+9, -3] Is HYBE trying to divert people's attention from boy groups that copy Big Bang's music video concepts and songs?

[+4, -4] Well, Shakatak seems to be moving as if he has the support of a powerful person…
