AKB48:

For one, the opening act of� 'The Unit' featured four levels with participants standing in a straight line within separate�sections. Netizens commented saying it was an act of plagiarism, copying AKB48's opening performance from their 2012 Tokyo Dome concert 1830m.

During that time, the girls formed a straight line standing inside individual sections. The only differences between the two acts seem to be the color of the clothes and stage lighting direction, in addition to the number of singers present.
