The ongoing feud between NewJeans’ choreographers and ILLIT over plagiarism accusations has taken an intriguing turn, with fresh allegations now linking NewJeans’ own choreography to elements resembling BLACKPINK’s Lisa.
Earlier this month, Kim Eunju and Black Q publicly accused ILLIT of copying their choreography for a fast-food commercial, expressing dismay over what they perceived as a blatant imitation of ILLIT’s “Lucky Girl Syndrome” dance. Social media quickly buzzed with comparison videos corroborating these claims, highlighting undeniable similarities in formations and chorus moves.

The escalation of these accusations underscores the sensitivity in the Korean entertainment industry towards artistic integrity and originality. As discussions continue to unfold online, it remains to be seen how both NewJeans and ILLIT will address these swirling allegations.
