1. When this was posted on Square (a section of the theqoo forum), people in the comments kept insisting it wasn’t plagiarism and attacked the post until it got deleted—what’s up with that?

2. They kept denying it at first, then quietly added the name later – seeing this, it almost seems decent in comparison. Sigh…

3. Both of them didn’t know, so they checked the facts and resolved it well. The real culprit was the producer who owned the rights, but in the end, the wrong people took the blame. Get your facts straight before criticizing… seriously.

4. But seeing the younger sibling group’s name attached to this kind of issue feels a bit uncomfortable. Plagiarism is a sensitive topic…ㅠ

5. If you don’t have the talent, don’t step out.

6. There’s plenty of shielding here – so heartwarming. Hope they show the same generosity to other artists too.
