Indie K-RnB artist kenessi's latest release "I wanna" has caught the attention of netizens due to its striking resemblance to NewJeans' hit song "OMG."
Netizens have pointed out that kenessi's "I wanna" track released on March 29 shares a striking resemblance to NewJeans' latest hit "OMG" released on January 2, especially melodically at the chorus. Not just the melody, but even the lyrics have been found to be similar. The bridge of "OMG" features the lyrics "everything is meaningless, my feeling is boundless," while the bridge of "I wanna" uses similar words like "everything is meaningless, I didn't think I'd want someone's heart until I knew you," which has sparked heated discussions online.
Netizens have shared their thoughts on this discovery, with some agreeing that the similarity is uncanny. One netizen commented, "It's so OMG...," while another said, "If you listen to them together, the choruses overlap." However, there are also those who suggest that "I wanna" might have been a response song to "OMG," which has sparked debates over whether it constitutes plagiarism. "But aren't there a lot of 'response songs' like this too?" asked one netizen, to which others refuted, "For 'responses' that follow the same melody and lyrics, we call that plagiarism."
