It's claimed the new boy group used choreography of Seventeen's ''Very Nice'', ''Boom Boom'', and ''Pretty U'' for their song ''VVV''. Below are the screenshots of the controversial dance parts. 



Netizens also pointed out the similar moves in ''Pretty U'' dance practice video at 2:55 and 14U's MV for ''VVV'' at 2:56.

In addition, 14U is accused of plagiarizing Red Velvet's greetings. The hand gesture of drawing a smile is almost exactly the same. 



Netizens expressed shock and disappointment at the plagiarism. Comments stated, "Are they trying to create noise marketing like this?", "It's too similar", "Are you kidding me? How can they copy it like this?"


Many are demanding an official feedback from 14U's agency.
