New Jeans' design that has become ILLIT's signature



ILLIT's 'Magnetic' was featured on the recent episode of 'Amazing Saturday'
During the song, the caption was styled using the font in ILLIT's album cover

It's a design that mixes pixelated fonts and basic font styles like this

However, this style has been used as the main design element in New Jeans' debut album, 'New Jeans' before.




Before becoming a producer, Min Heejin was in charge of design. She thought this style would've looked more outstanding. I think the recent episode of 'Amazing Saturday' proved that. By imitating these details, people who don't know might think that this style belongs to that group.

I'm not blaming the production team of 'Amazing Saturday', I'm just upset because someone ends up getting harmed because their unique style is being imitated.







Did you think it was only their logo that got imitated?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even the doodles that the members personally drew for the album cover and also the sticker designs look exactly alike.




theqoo

-So they've completely copied New Jeans' formula.

-Super Shy... Supper Ikkeulim...

-Literally, it's just copying. It's like they're trying to take everything from Super Shy to Super Supernatural and now even Super Real Me and Super Magneticㅋㅋㅋ

-At first, when talk of plagiarism came up, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but turns out they've copied even more detailed aspects. This is clearly an infringement of intellectual property rights.

-This is really too much... How angry must the people who participated in creating New Jeans feel?

-The more they get popular, the more I understand why Min Heejin is so frustrated. What a weird company.

-Wow, it's beyond imagination.

-From the start, when I saw that album cover, I thought, "Isn't that New Jeans?" At that time, New Jeans had a lot of distinctive points, including that font...

-Definitely copiedㅋㅋㅋㅋ They imitate every little detail, then try to make it seem like they've done something different...

-Why do they choose to plagiate? Even if they succeed, they can't shake off the imitator title.

-Sighㅠㅠ It really gives me chills.

-I don't remember "super" being used a lot in Korea before Super Shy,

-It's wrong to easily gain popularity and money by copying others' work. It's not the members who are pitiful, it's the fans who have been deceived.

-I really hate HYBE.

-They're really just copyingㅋㅋㅋㅋ The group is unbearable to look at.

-Just copycats.

-They've copied more than I thought.

A Kazuha's fans asks whether she's Suzy at a LE SSERAFIM's fan signing event


Fan: Uh...? I think I came to the wrong fan meeting.

Kazuha: Huh? Why?

Fan: You're Suzy, aren't you?

Kazuha: No.. No... Don't say that

theqoo 

-I feel bad for Kazuha... She even told her fans to not say things like thatㅋㅋㅋ I know it's just a common joke fans usually say in fan meetings, but they really should tone it down

-Even Kazuha told her fans to not say things like that... Her fans really need to stop.

-Fans should tone it down when the idol herself already told them to not say things like that...

-Why are you guys hating on Kazuha? In the video, you can see that she told her fans to not say things like that. Please leave Kazuha aloneㅠㅠ

-Why are people leaving hate comments for Kazuha...? Ugh...

-Why should she get hate comments for the thing that her fans said...? You guys should be angry at her company for doing all this media play, not her.

-That fan is so stupid

-Isn't that fan being rude to Kazuha?? Why would they mention other celebrity in front of Kazuha?

-I think Kazuha would feel offended too if this continues... I mean, why would you talk about another celebrity in front of her?

-It's pissing me off how Suzy keeps getting dragged into this mess...

-No, this is not Kazuha's fault. It's that fan who's problematic.

-That fan succeeded in making Kazuha gets hate comments...

-Umm... I totally understand if Suzy's fans get offended to hear this...

Suzy's fans share their thoughts on Kazuha's stage on LE SSERAFIM's fan meeting

LE SSERAFIM Kazuha Follows Suzy's Fooststeps... Flawless Skin 'Perfection'
"Could Be Mistaken for Suzy" ... LE SSERAFIM Kazuha Starts Her Glory Days As She Gets Bangs
LE SSERAFIM Kazuha, Picks Up the Same Cosmetic Products Suzy Once Picked Up
Female Singer Known for Being 'Suzy Look-Alike', People Would Believe it If Someone Said They Were Sisters

Kazuha has always been viral for her resemblance to Suzy ever since she debuted

Not only that, Kazuha herself even recreated a scene from 'Lee Doona', a drama starring Suzy, and posted it on Youtube Shorts

She covered Miss A's 'Bad Girl Good Girl' on LE SSERAFIM's Fan Meeting yesterday...

In the end, K-netz couldn't hold it in any longer and spilled...


Quoted Tweet: Does she really deserve all this hate just because she covered a Miss A's song? It's really absurd that she's openly criticized in (LE SSERAFIM)'s official account for just covering a stage. It's not like she mentioned Suzy anyway. 

-Who has been obsessed with Suzy since her own debut?ㅋㅋㅋ Someone who had no idea could've mistaken it's her first time doing something related to Suzy...Do you think Suzy's fans would feel good if she keeps bringing up Suzy in her career? Suzy's fans have endured this not only once or twice. Why does she keep doing this, really?

-If she had just covered a song, things wouldn't have gotten this far. She even imitated Suzy's unique style and expressions as well, I was so shocked to see it. 

-Normally, if some is told that they resemble someone else, they'd say "No, I don't~". We're just upset because she herself keep imitating Suzi, instead of her fans saying it. 

-Who doesn't know that she has been using Suzy's name for media play since she debuted? If it was another idol, fans would've been even more furious. It's just that Suzy's fans are kind. I think the fact that she even recreated a scene from Lee Doona on Tiktok and performed on stage with Suzy's song already explains it all...? I'm just saying that we're not upset just because she covered Suzy's song. 

-'Baby Suzy', 'Suzy's daughter', and now 'Nakamura Suzy'? Which Suzy's fans should endure seeing all of this? Are you testing our patience? It's ridiculous how the person who farted is the one who's angry.

-Her fans have been obsessed over Suzy for over 2 years. But instead of grasping the point, they're blaming Suzy's fans again. It hasn't even been half a year since she recreated the scene in Lee Doonaㅋㅋㅋ And now, she's imitating Suzy again. Which Suzy's fan would appreciate this? Until how much longer Suzy's fans have to endure all this?

theqoo

-I saw one of her fans calling her 'Nakamura Suzy' earlier. Honestly, which Suzy's fan would love to hear that? First of all, Suzy is a Korean name. I'm also sure her family named her with a lot of considerations. It's f*cking weird for her fans to attach Suzy's name to a Japanese surname. 

-I can totally understand why Suzy's fans are really upset...

-Calling her 'Nakamura Suzy' is crossing the linesㅋㅋㅋ 

-Even seeing her get called 'Baby Suzy' or 'Suzy's daughter' was very uncomfortable. It's not like Suzy is at her mom's age. The two of them don't even a huge age gap. Don't they know that this is actually very rude?

-Seems like her fans and her company really think that she looks like Suzy. I'm not a fan of Suzy or Kazuha, but please... Leave Suzy alone.

-I feel sorry for Suzy...

-HYBE needs to tone down their media play

-They look nothing alike

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋIt seems like she really loves being called as 'Suzy's Look-Alike'. Maybe she's a fan of Suzy?

-Please leave Suzy alone... They don't look alike...

-Why would you love being called as someone else's look-alike? It means that you don't have your own characteristic...

Suzy created buzz on online communities when she debuted with 'Bad Girl Good Girl'

 







She was 17 years old here. The whole online community, regardless of gender, went crazy, asking where did JYP find such outstanding beauty like her. 



3 months later, she came back with 'Breath', creating a 'Visual Shock'

theqoo

-Gorgeous...

-Legend.

-I still remember, as soon as she debuted, the entire community went crazy over her visual.

-Suzy's 'Breath' era still makes my heart race like crazy even now.

-I still remember how the next day after she made her debut, everyone in my classroom gathered during breaks and lunchtime to watch 'Bad Girl Good Girl' MV on the big TV screenㅋㅋㅋ

-I remember thatㅋㅋㅋ Everyone in every community was asking who she was. Her videos were created into thousands of GIF.

-Suzy was literally the only thing that all the kids in my school ever talked about since then. 

-She became a star as soon as she debuted.

-JYP said he didn't know Suzy would become that popularㅋㅋㅋ

-Her first ever appearance on TV really made a big sensation.

-What's more legendary is that all the performances above are completely live.

-As soon as my mom saw her, she said, "Wow, she's really pretty" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even though I was a little kid who didn't know anything about celebrities or idols back then, I knew about her.

-Seriously, I fell for her as soon as I saw her...

IVE Liz Often Gets Misunderstood as a Foreign or Half-Korean Member

 Liz is often mistaken as a foreign member in Theqoo and other online communities. Except for Kong-soonie Rei (Japanese), all five members of IVE are Korean. 

Liz's real name is Kim Jiwon, born in Jeju Island

 

In addition, International fans also often ask whether she's foreign or half-Korean. I don't know how it became a meme, but there's this joke about Liz being a German (German Liz) 

 

International fans are calling her 'Liz German' as a joke, right? They keep saying she's German...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our Jiwon is a Tangerine Princess who has a tangerine farm...!

She was born in Nohyung-dong, Jeju City. I guess they call her that because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looksㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It seems like the reason she's often misunderstood as a foreign member is because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looks + her name is Lizㅋㅋ

theqoo

-Wow, I thought she was half-Korean until nowㅋㅋㅋ

-The other members all have Korean names, so I also initially thought she was a foreigner because her stage name is Lizㅋㅋ 

-Kim Jiwon was born in Jeju City, Nohyeong-dong, at the Jeju Future Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic.

-Oh, I've heard about the meme made by international fans, saying that Liz's real name is Elizabeth Helga Müllerㅋㅋ

-Wow, I also thought IVE had two foreign members...

-She kinda reminds me of Jeon Somi, so I thought maybe one of her parents is a foreignerㅋㅋㅋ

-She's sooo prettyㅋㅋ

-Liz is gorgeous.

-Why Germany out of all places, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-In her graduation photo, she looks Korean, but when she dyes her hair, she really looks half-Korean... So beautiful~~

-The stage name 'Liz' suits her really well...

-I think she looks like she's from Uzbekistan.

-I think it's because she looks like she's of German descent...

-How can her graduation photo look like that? She's so beautiful.

-The German Liz meme started because of her outfit in the "Eleven" music video; it looked like traditional German attire.

K-Fans Confused as International Fans Get Upset Over This Do Kyungsoo-Related Tweet

 

I had this playing softly in the background, like background noise, but suddenly I heard something interesting. So, I checked on Twitter, and yup, the fans were already talking about itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He seems to like this type of song, but I wish he'd try different types of songs instead of just sticking to soothing ballads all the time... I feel like he's not using his voice to its full potential by sticking to one genre.

International fans are furious to read this Tweet, the Quotes are filled with them saying things like, "Let him do whatever genre he wants"

theqoo

-International fans, regardless of the fandom, are like natural disasters, seriously...

-Learn Korean... -_-

-If you read the automated translation on Twitter, it does sound like the OP is saying it angrilyㅋㅋㅋㅋ But before quoting it, shouldn't International fans do some research?

-D.O. sings so well, wow... I knew it already, but he's really good.

-That's right, learning Korean might not always help with understanding nuances. English translation is possible, but there are often subtle differences that we might not understand either.

-Oh, the translation got off track. It's a waste of his treasure-like voice to limit himself to just one genre. The OP meant they wish he'd try various genres, the OP didn't mean that his current genre is a waste of his voice.

-It would be fun if he sang various genresㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like International fans always cause trouble regardless of their fandom, it seems like they have a lot of complaints. Kyungsoo is really good at singing, and he's good at acting, and he's really good at singing too. I hope he tries various genres since he's so good at everything. He's so good, I hope he tries more things.

-It was translated as "such a waste," so maybe they understood it as his current genre being a waste of his voice... No, that's not the meaning......

-For world peace, Do Kyungsoo should sing pop, ballad, R&B, and hip-hop equally.

-I've seen this situation happen several times before. I think don't think it's because of the culturals difference, it's just International fans that refuse to understand cultural or language differences, and they're discriminating against and hating Korea.

-Can't he try an R&B solo once?

-It seems like the translation is coming off as complainingㅋㅋㅋㅋ. If you translate the English quotes, they're all not complaining and actually respecting his choiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Let him do what he wants to do.
