HYBE, &TEAM Poked Fun At Online for Supposedly Copying EXO: 'They Should Plagiarize Their Skills Too'

HYBE and &TEAM are being poked fun on the internet for allegedly plagiarizing EXO in terms of slogan, choreography, and many more.

Netizens established the forum, titled, "HYBE is Using the Slogan That Another Idol Group Has Been Using for 10 Years."

The author began the post by explaining, "EXO were divided into EXO-K and EXO-M for promotion purposes. Their slogan was 'We are one' to signify that they were one group."

OP added, "EXO's account name was also "We Are One."

However, OP shared a screenshot from &TEAM's latest Weverse live, where the members were asked to "write their wishes using a designated hashtag."

The hashtag in the photo displayed "#We_are_ONETEAM," which partially resembles EXO's 'We are one"

The author further elaborated that more signs of "copying" came into play when &TEAM's Weverse page included the "We Are One Team" slogan.

The claim was followed by &TEAM's similarities to EXO's comeback outfits, choreography, and usage of silhouette formation.

Here's how netizens reacted:

• "Do they want to become EXO?"
• "They have no creativity and personality."
• "What is this? It's the same so how come nobody brought it up?"
• "Then they should plagiarize EXO's skills too."
• "Can they leave SM alone? I'm seriously getting fed up."
