A post titled, "Debate whether girl group's teaser is similar to Girls' Generation's [debut song]," is gaining widespread attention on online community Bestiz. In the post, a netizen links G-Friend's MV teaser for "Glass Bead" and says, "People on Gaecheon Music (a section in Bestiz), YouTube, Facebook, here and there are saying that [G-Friend] is copying Girls' Generation's 'Into the New World' choreography and concept."�
It seems that netizens find the pointing, twirling, and high-kicking parts of the choreography, along with G-Friend's white outfits, to be reminiscent of Girls' Generation's "Into the New World" MV.�
Many netizens agreed that G-Friend's "Glass Bead" reminded them of Girls' Generation's debut song with comments saying, "Oh... the choreography and concept are really similar [to 'Into the New World'],"�"They're Glam's hoobaes.... They were successful in getting people's attention with this controversy, now if they show us their skills they'll be good.... If they don't have skills then they will be buried,"�"Wow, they really are similar. The song is profoundly similar and the dance is too; but [even so] the song seems good,"�"Wow, as you watch the teaser you gradually get the feeling that the song copied ['Into the New World']," and,�"Whether you think they're similar or not... [the teaser]�makes you think of ['Into the New World']."�
For the most part, netizens don't seem to be criticizing G-Friend for the similarities and are simply pointing them out. Some believe that they need to wait for G-Friend to release the full MV before jumping to any conclusions.
What do you guys think? Does the teaser look similar to Girls' Generation's "Into the New World" so far?�
