Belift Lab recently released a video titled 'Belift Lab's Position on Plagiarism Allegations' to address claims that their group, ILLIT, had copied concepts from the popular girl group NewJeans. The video was intended to refute these accusations and clear the company's name.

However, the video has been met with widespread criticism and currently has a nearly 90% dislike rate from netizens. Viewers have expressed their dissatisfaction, stating that the video failed to provide concrete facts and rebuttals. Instead of offering substantial evidence to defend ILLIT, the video focused on accusing other idol groups of copying NewJeans as well.

Unhappy with the video's content, many netizens and K-pop fans expressed their displeasure by clicking the dislike button. Within just 12 hours of its release, the video garnered 63,805 dislikes, accounting for 89% of the total reactions, while only receiving 7,630 likes.

Korean netizens joined a popular online community to share their thoughts on the latest buzz and commented:
"The first week dislike counts, lol."
"Look at the ratio..."
"In all my life, this is the first time I've seen the term 'first week dislike count' on a rebuttal video. It's truly bizarre... In many ways, K-pop is rewriting history."
"I didn't know there was a dislike button. I should go click on it too."
"How can you see that number? Usually, the dislike number doesn't show."
"I think you can look at the dislike number through a specific site."
"This is hilarious."
"I bet it reached 100,000 dislikes by now."
"It's sad how it only got 7,000 likes."
"I'm going to click the dislike button too."
"They should've never posted that video."
"First-day dislike counts. I should go click on the dislike button too."
"They reached 90,000 dislikes now."
"So crazy. I didn't think about clicking the dislike button. I should go back to click dislike."
"This company has no one who is thinking straight I guess."
