A thread regarding IVE and Red Velvet's concepts has been put in place, sparking a discussion about originality in K-pop music videos.
Here's what people are saying.
IVE & Red Velvet's MV Concepts Compared by Stans in Online Discussion
On October 8, an open forum was established online, which brought two popular girl groups into the thread. These girl groups were none other than IVE and Red Velvet.
- "The candles weren't even from an IVE MV, it was just a VCR for MMA and you're just bashing them. For the rest of the photos, they're all commonly used in K-pop, and no one would even think of it as plagiarism."
Meanwhile, in a separate discussion, stans argued that music videos are normally inspired by something. They claimed that it's normal for K-pop MVs to have similar gimmicks, shots, and props, while others conveyed that it won't matter as long as the song is good.
- "It's extremely difficult to find MVs that are 100 percent original in K-pop. Everything was done by someone else already one way or the other."
- "Just enjoy the song and if it bothers you all that much, then go away."
- "They were probably inspired, but who cares?"
- "As a Luvie, it's okay to be remotely similar to RV given how little content I receive. I just have high expectations for the music since it's IVE."
