Somi's new song styling raises netizens' suspicions of imitating anime characters! THE BLACK LABEL quickly responded!

Singer Jeon Somi released a brand new EP 'GAME PLAN' on the 7th. The lead song 'Fast Forward' garnered a lot of buzz as soon as it was released, and the content of the music video has also sparked heated discussions among netizens.

One of Jeon Somi's looks in the "Fast Forward" music video has been questioned by netizens as to whether she is impersonating a comic character. Since the release of the song's music video, it has attracted the attention of netizens worldwide.

The views of the song confirmed Jeon Somi's popularity worldwide, quickly topping Youtube's global trending videos, and setting a record for the most viewed MV within 24 hours.

However, one of the styles appearing in the MV has been pointed out by netizens to be very similar to a character from the Japanese manga "Urusei Yatsura," raising suspicions of tracing the character from the work.

The character had already appeared in the preview content released before the new song was out. Thus, fans showed quite a surprising reaction when they heard allegations of imitation. However, the similarity of the look was so high that one might think it was an official collaboration, whether in appearance, expression, or feelings, it was very similar.

Netizens have expressed their regret about the possibility of Jeon Somi's MV being a copy, saying, "The song is good, the MV is good too, but why did they have to put that character in?", "It feels like a rip-off right away", "I wish I could see more of Jeon Somi's face".

On the other hand, JJeon Somi's agency, THE BLACK LABEL, voiced their position to the Korean media, stating that "there are parts that still need to be confirmed."
