Hey Seoul Crushers!
Have you heard about this crazy viral post on Pann? It’s got everyone talking! Basically, it’s calling out HYBE and their artists for a bunch of plagiarism controversies. Wild, right?
So get this – the post has racked up over 144,000 views already. It’s going through all these incidents where HYBE’s groups have been accused of copying stuff from other artists and companies. We’re talking concepts, logos, even performances!
The post starts off by roasting TWS, HYBE’s newest boy group. Apparently, their logo looks suspiciously similar to ONEUS’s. And that’s not all – people are saying their music videos are giving major GD&TOP “Knock Out” and NCT U “Baggy Jeans” vibes.
Oh, and it doesn’t stop there. KATSEYE, another HYBE newbie, is catching heat for their fandom name. They went with EYEKONs, which sounds an awful lot like iKON’s fandom name, iKONIC. Talk about awkward!
ILLIT’s in hot water too. Their fandom name LILLIES is getting side-eye for being too close to BLACKPINK Lisa’s fans and NMIXX’s Lily. Yikes!

Even HYBE’s virtual pop group SYNDI8 isn’t safe. One of their members, Kanari, is being compared to Aespa’s Karina. People are pointing out similarities in height, outfits, and even personality types. The rest of the group is also getting flak for seeming too Aespa-inspired.
The post goes on and on, mentioning LE SSERAFIM and their run-ins with plagiarism accusations. Folks are drawing comparisons to big international artists like Rosalia, Tyla, and SZA.
This thing is blowing up on Pann – it’s hit over 70,000 views and the comments are flooding in. People are pretty shocked by how many controversies there are. Some are even accusing HYBE of trying to control the narrative through the media, saying these issues haven’t been talked about enough.
Crazy stuff, huh? What do you think about all this?
