{EnterTalk} "New Jeans plagiarized Mexican girl group Jeans."

The Mexican media already reported on the plagiarism controversy.

There's not just one or two overlaps, but so many. Even the group name is only one letter different, which is very confusing.

What Min Hee-jin said before [note: about ILLIT plagiarizing New Jeans]: "If too many coincidences accumulate and repeat, they are no longer coincidences but inevitabilities."
They were active until recently, up to 2017.

[+272,-82] Oh my gosh~~~If Min Heejin does it, it’s original work, but if anyone else does it, it’s plagiarism~~

[+14,-1] What is with the people saying it's okay to copy something from another country if it's reinterpreted better? They are like the people who say, "Let's let a handsome murderer go free".

[+11,-2] If there was no Jeans, there would be no New Jeans. Can you refute this?

- [+0,-0] If it weren't for New Jeans, there'd be no ILLIT.

[10+,-2] Min Hee Jin said that the process of debuting New Jeans felt like the pain of childbirth, right? You really can't trust exaggerations. If it's plagiarism, then it was similar to having a surrogate give birth. I'm not sure if the comparison is accurate, though. [note: I am screaming!!!]

[+10,-1] You guys said that ILLIT, who copied New Jeans, should be disbanded, but y'all are silent on these posts. If you go by that logic, New Jeans, which copied Jeans, should be disbanded.

[+8,-1] It seems like New Jeans wouldn't exist without Jeans.

[+4,-12] This is a bit ambiguous. It is true that trends come and go and the Y2K style is popular now, but considering the year Jeans debuted, all the singers who were active at that time will be in trouble for concept plagiarism. Look at Spice Girls and Aqua... In Korea, all female girl groups at the time (Baby Vox, Shakra, Circle, etc.) were plagiarizing the concept...

[+0-11] Shouldn't we be grateful for the sophisticated reinterpretation of Mexican culture in an underdeveloped country? [note: you need to shush]

- [+0,-0] Isn’t this the same thinking as the Japanese who said people should be thankful for developing Korea during the colonial era?

- [+0,-0] Please shut up, you two.
