BTS leader RM recently unveiled a few graphics from his upcoming project 'Entirety', which reminded some netizens of EXO member D.O.’s solo mini album 'Empathy'. Sharing side by side comparison of the two projects, several netizens started accusing RM of copying another K-pop star's concept.
Seeing the backlash grow, ARMY came out in RM's defence and started trending 'BIG HIT PROTECT NAMJOON' on micro-blogging sites.
BTS fans aka ARMY took to social media to urgeHYBE and Bighit to look into the matter. One user brushed off the accusations of plagiarism and wrote, "If u knew our leader u won't talk about some nonsense like plagiarism. He didn't copy concept. He is someone who likes book and nature so of course u will find them, in the photobook about himself #BighitProtectNamjoon. (sic)"
Another wrote, "Don't listen to that trash, calm down and remember that we will always support and love you."
The internet is divided over the accusations and RM is yet to comment on the controversy.
Here're some more tweets!
well plot twist, this project is very authentic and original from namjoon HIMSELF. not bighit/hybe, no. mind you, all of these are basically namjoon's favorites and he calls it "namjooning". he didn't copy the concept.
