Did EXO really copy BTS' music videos?


EXO made a successful comeback. The boy group released its new song "Ko Ko Bop" on July 21 and has been maintaining the top spot on a variety of music charts. By the way, you know, EXO recently became embroiled in unexpected plagiarism charges. Some of BTS fans are insisting that the music video of "Ko Ko Bop" is similar to BTS' music videos, claiming that EXO certainly copied BTS' music videos of "I Need U" and "Run".

The pictures below show how EXO's music video is similar to BTS' music videos.


Well, what do you think? It's true that the scenes look similar. Then, do you think EXO really copied BTS' music videos? No, never.

A variety of different music videos include such scenes, while BTS is not the first idol group who filmed such scenes. In addition, "Ko Ko Bop" is a song which is totally different from "I Need U" and "Run". The songs are different genres of music and contain different messages. Other than the two scenes, yeah, EXO's music video is totally different from BTS' music videos.


And actually, there is no reason for EXO and SM Entertainment to copy BTS' music videos. SM is the biggest k-pop agency which has plenty of capital, and it has many experts who can make high quality music video too. When I asked a person who works for SM about the plagiarism controversy, he gave a snort.



Nevertheless, it seems like some BTS fans really believe that EXO copied BTS' music videos. Yeah, some EXO fans also have blamed BTS before, insisting BTS copied EXO's contents, but what I want to tell both of the popular boy groups' fans is that they should respect each other if they're real fans of the groups.


EXO and BTS are two of the most popular k-pop boy groups, and there could be a sense of rivalry between them, but they never hate each other. They respect each other, and each is doing their best. And actually, they're very close to each other. So, their fans do not need to do a hatchet job on one another. Are you EXO-L? EXO never wants you to slander BTS. Are you ARMY? BTS never wants you to slander EXO.

EXO and BTS are totally different boy groups, and each has their own musical characteristics. EXO doesn't want to be like BTS, and BTS doesn't want to be like EXO, which means there is no reason for them to copy each other's contents. Just please enjoy their music and support them if you are a real fan of EXO or BTS.

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
I’m sure you’re very curious about k-pop trainee’s daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below.

8 a.m. : School attendance
As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it’s important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school.

5 p.m. : Go to practicing room
After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after they finish a…

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

Image
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance."


MR(Music Recorded)
Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t just mean they …

The Way How Lee Seung Gi Protects his Girlfriend Yoona

Image
It has been months since the two top stars, Lee Seung Gi and Girls' Generation(SNSD)'s Yoona, announced that they are dating. However, there has been no opportunity to hear their love story directly, and it looked like I finally got the opportunity on April 30.

On the day, the production presentation for SBS' new drama 'You're all surrounded' was held in Seoul and Lee Seung Gi attended the event as a leading actor.


Considerate to Yoona
But, as a result, I never heard of anything about the love story from Lee Seung Gi, and that was the way how he protects his girlfriend.

Before the beginning of the event, the MC asked the reporters not to throw questions that are unrelated to the drama. Yeah, the MC was mindful of Lee Seung Gi and Yoona's romantic relationship.

As you know, Yoona is a member of girl group who has lots of male fans, and if Lee Seung Gi comments about their romantic relationship time after time, Yoona will be somehow disadvantaged. That's …

The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?

Image
Have you watched “We Got Married”? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.”


Is WGM Scripted?
Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of “We Got Married” are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of “We Got Married” do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, “It’s the day you move into your new apartment,” “It’s the day you introduce your wife to your friends,” etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple’s dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs some he…
