Indian singer Ipsitaa called out for 'blatantly plagiarizing' K-pop music videos from IVE, BLACKPINK, and others

K-netizens are expressing "amused disbelief" toward Indian singer Ipsitaa for reportedly plagiarizing multiple K-pop music videos.

On an online forum, netizens shared a "good laugh" over Ipsitaa’s recent music video for her song "Kadar Na Jaane." According to fans, her video contains scenes resembling iconic moments from several K-pop MVs, including those of BTS, BLACKPINK, aespa, IVE, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, BABYMONSTER, and more.

The music video begins with a scene strikingly similar to Wonyoung falling out of an airplane in IVE’s "I AM."

Additionally, K-netizens pointed out that the aesthetic of the video alludes to aespa's KWANGYA world, BLACKPINK's "Whistle," and scenes from IZ*ONE’s music videos.

Rather than leaving malicious comments, many K-netizens found humor in what they are calling "blatant plagiarism," comparing the music video to "a bootleg CD from Temu," "a K-pop parody video," or "something created in a single day at a K-pop dance academy."

Some also noted how the video generally incorporates K-pop-inspired dance moves and aesthetics.

Reactions include:

1. "What is this now?"
2. "This is so ridiculous that it’s funny."
3. "I’m not even mad."
4. "Wait, lol, this feels more like a parody."
5. "It starts with 'I Am,' hahaha."
