Recently, various posts about aespa, NCT Dream, and TXT emerged on the SNS platform X (formerly Twitter), gaining massive attention with thousands of likes. According to these posts, aespa’s new MV and concept images bear strong resemblances with previous images of TXT, leading suspicious of plagiarism.
Additionally, it was pointed out that a sticker with TXT’s Soobin’s name appeared on one of aespa’s old teaser images, and an MV of NCT Dream was alleged to have “copied” TXT.
On top of all this, some TXT fans even claimed that aespa has faced multiple plagiarism scandals in the past, making it likely for the girl group to have copied TXT.
So far, fans of the aforementioned group have been heatedly debating these plagiarism accusations on X, with a huge number of TXT fans believing them to be real.
On the other hand, many argue that the copying allegations are too much of a stretch, considering that the “similarities” pointed out by TXT fans are common elements that appear on K-pop MV. Some also insisted that the Soobin sticker was a mere coincidence.
