In addition, 14U is accused of plagiarizing Red Velvet's greetings. The hand gesture of drawing a smile is almost exactly the same. 



Netizens expressed shock and disappointment at the plagiarism. Comments stated, "Are they trying to create noise marketing like this?", "It's too similar", "Are you kidding me? How can they copy it like this?"


Many are demanding an official feedback from 14U's agency.
