Netizens point out similarities between EXO and &TEAM

Netizens are buzzing about the similarities between EXO and &TEAM

On May 27th, a post on a popular online community garnered attention after pointing out similarities between EXO and &TEAM's concepts. The post pointed out similarities between the two groups from their concept photos to music videos. 

The post also pointed out how both &TEAM's "Scent of You" and EXO's "Growl" had one-shot music videos.  

Netizens shared their thoughts in over 600 comments including: 

"Wow, EXO's is far more sophisticated even though it's from ten years ago."

"HYBE again... lol"

"To make things clear, you can do a sporty concept. You can also do a wolf concept. But it's suspicious when one group does all the concepts specifically done by the other."

"It's HYBE again? It's pathetic now."

"It's hilarious that was Min Hee Jin's work too lol"

"Why does he love SM so much lmao"

"HYBE is the arch nemisis of K-pop"

"It's giving Chinese knock-off vibes"

"Even beat China for creating dupes"

"Has HYBE ever heard of originality?" 

What do you think?

These comparison of concepts are all so stupid. In my country we focus on the music and lyrics when accusing plagiarism and we take it very seriously. We do not focus on fashion or dance because as an art form it’s made to be taken and reused and revamped in new ways- fashion ESPECIALLY. And as for dance unless the choreography is exactly the same, using a move that neither group created but one used first is hardly plagiarism or else everyone would be sued for implementing dance moves in their choreography that was birthed from the US. In South Korea anyone can get their 10 seconds of attention by calling out plagiarism because one group wore striped shirts after another group wore it. It hurts my brain that people are able to do this.
