'Produce 101' has been caught in yet another controversy.

On the 15th's episode, the long-awaited trainees from Brand New Music finally got to show their talents off. The group included Lee Dae Hwi, the center boy for the "Pick Me" stage. Lee Dae Hwi revealed that he'd composed and wrote the lyrics to the song himself, and choreography was created by Park Woo Jin, who is also part of the team.

However, after the show aired, many people realized that the song sounded very much like GOT7's "Hard Carry". Not only so, but the choreography was similar as well. Top-voted comments included comments such as, "This sounds so much like 'Hard Carry'," "The shaking choreography looks a lot like 'Hard Carry'," "Hard Carry, hey! Wait, what?", "This song is just 'Hard Carry.' Lee Dae Hwi composed this song? He needs to explain himself," and more.

You can watch the clip below and decide for yourself. Does it sound and look like "Hard Carry"?

If you guys had researched before you started pointing fingers, producers from Brand New Music took part in composing Hard Carry so it only makes sense there's similarities between the two

well daehwi the boy who said he composed it was a jyp trainee so.. just saying it might be actually influenced from hard carry or earattack (got7's main composer for the trilogy albums incl. hard carry) and neither are "at fault" in this. I mean, he's just composing song and of course he needs influences and any other inspirations to compose from & hard carry was a sickass song personally i think
