Paty Sirvent, a member of the Mexican group Jeans, recently addressed allegations of plagiarism involving the K-pop group NewJeans.

The conflict between ADOR's CEO Min Hee Jin and HYBE has been ongoing. HYBE accused Min Hee Jin of attempting to take over total management rights of ADOR, while Min He Jin has claimed that the rookie girl group ILLIT, managed by BELIFT Lab under HYBE, plagiarized NewJeans.
Amid the ongoing conflict between the two, suspicions have arisen online suggesting that NewJeans may have plagiarized the Mexican girl group Jeans. El Siglo, a Mexican media outlet, highlighted this issue last year, reporting claims that NewJeans may have taken some of their ideas from Jeans, a popular group from the 90s. The report pointed out similarities in outfits and concepts between the two groups.
