On social media platforms, (G)I-DLE was accused of copying BLACKPINK's intro and outfits following their performance at Jingle Ball in LA.
(G)I-DLE's Outfit, Intro at Jingle Ball Draws Comparison With BLACKPINK's Coachella
On social media platforms particularly X, the girl group (G)I-DLE became hot topic following their performance at the Jingle Ball 2023 in LA.
On December, the quintet was invited to join the lineup for 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball 2023, along with top stars Olivia Rodrigo, Niall Horan, Sabrina Carpenter, and more held at Kia Forum, Inglewood, California.
When this was pointed by netters on X, BLINKs, BLACKPINK fandom agreed that the resemblance can't be denied, and lashed out at (G)I-DLE for almost copying 80% of BLACKPINK's iconic stage.
When Neverlands, (G)I-DLE fandom insisted that it could be a coincidence, BLINKs refuted that it is impossible not to know the quartet's intro and outfits since upon their stage, it dominated the entire SNS, media and online communities.
I have nothing against Gidle or any other gg greeting inspiration from Blackpink….. but y’all kpop Stans always find ways to discredit Blackpink’s influence and it’s not funny anymore https://t.co/rM02a68UWG

On the flip side, the quintet's fandom continued to defend the girl group, highlighting that the members' intro and dance movements isn't exclusive for BLACKPINK.
Accordingly, it wasn't that unique that they can be considered the first one to do it since past girl groups also used the same dance and intro lines.
So since i am so kind, here let me explain to you about choreo stage in general. Its very popular in western even some kpop idol used it. Not because bp used it, y'all can gatekeeping it. Shut up with this nonsense. What a jobless fandom https://t.co/PzMspcG8uf pic.twitter.com/e53bv07evE

In addition to this, Neverlands, expressed frustration due to the accusation and left X posts such as:
When your favs write and produce their own music you can bring (G)I-dle into the equation, meanwhile stop dragging other groups to keep your favs relevant by saying nonsense #GIDLE #BLACKPINK #KPOP pic.twitter.com/OfOQmJ2zSl

Going to the Gidle girls' personal Instagram pages to attack them and leave their hate messages is just another example of how immature the blinks are, really pathetic and a disgrace for the BP members themselves to have stans without brain cells #BLACKPINK #GIDLE #BLINKS #KPOP pic.twitter.com/1Nsh2s8Lkb

Is blackpink copying (g)i-dle? Look at this, (g)i-dle’s 2019 year MMA performance and Coachella 2023 🤔 #GIDLE #BLACKPINK pic.twitter.com/7nyRDCofUv
