Plagiarism controversy surrounding SISTAR's 'I Swear' MV continues to grow

SISTAR

While a plagiarism controversy arose when SISTAR first dropped their "I Swear" MV, it appears the controversy is continuing to grow.  For those left in the dark, netizens remarked that there were too many striking resemblances between the "I Swear" MV and Tiesto's "Red Light" MV to the point they are bringing up suspicions of plagiarism.  


Indeed, both MVs largely have to do with having fun after brushing off work at a diner, especially as both girls take off their apron and toss it aside to leave as the camera follows both girls from behind.

In addition, some other similar scenes include riding in open cars, jumping on beds, running into swimming pools, and washing cars with foamy pink soap.  Not to mention, the girls even strike similar poses.  Netizens are debating as some claim it is plagiarism while others claim it is just paying homage to Tiesto's MV. 


Check out both MVs below and let us know what you think!
