Gfriend lastest comeback "Crossroad" MV swept up with plagiarism rumours for its striking resemblance with BTS's HYYH MV

Gfriend latest Music Video "Crossroads" have been swept up with plagiarism rumours for its striking resemblance to BTS's past music videos. Gfriend is trending number 21 on China's largest social site WEIBO. Netizens have noticed many similarities between Gfriend's latest music video with BTS past works and compiled it in a series of snapshot shown below.

No official statement has been released yet. Some speculate that it is BigHit's marketing strategy. However, the BTS and Gfriend fandom does not seems to be taking it well. Comments have been flooding on WEIBO and the 2 fandoms, ARMY and BUDDY, have stood out to defend their own idols. Chinese Army are taking this very seriously as they said they cannot "tolerate such plagiarism or marketing act" while Buddies have also stood up to say that Gfriend has been doing good the whole time without Big Hit, so the blame should be on Big Hit. As of now, negative comments have been flooding in and garnered over 100 likes on Weibo.

What do you guys think about this situation?

smh, i'm so done with people trying to drag gfriend for the most nonsensical of things. THEY ARE FROM THE SAME COMPANY. how can you plagiarize OFF OF YOURSELF? that's like accusing yourself of stealing your own money. IT LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE.

btw 100 likes on weibo is literally nothing considering all of china uses it. the reason they are trending at 21 is because their comeback was art. it kinda proves that people are trying to find ANY little thing to drag gfriend.


btw stream crossroads and happy comeback day buddies!
