{EnterTalk} A comment written by an ILLIT fan that's resonating with knetizens.

 

It's overwhelming to see criticism directed at the idols. But reporting comments and criticizing gossip communities seems excessive. The company shouldn't behave this way. We need to start by explaining the concept and references behind ILLIT's inspiration. Major media outlets have published articles about how ILLIT's choreography was influenced by HYBE seniors. Are you planning to take legal action against them too? We apologize for not seeking prior approval before adopting choreography. A simple apology would have sufficed. If we wanted to convince critics and the public that we are different, we wouldn't claim that other idols' choreography is the same as ours. We began with these elements to create the group ILLIT, with the contributions of various individuals. While it's true that we can't persuade everyone, it's unfortunate that videos from gossip channels, that shouldn't persuade, are considered official. Do you still think this issue began with CEO Min Hee-jin's personal indulgence? Critics and the public have long pointed out the factory-like production of K-pop and the criticism directed at CEO Min Hee-jin comes from HYBE itself.

- [+9,-0] With the number of people in the company, it's surprising how they fail to grasp any of the issues.
