  • “It’s just totally similar.”
  • “Totally the same.”
  • “It’s the same. The vending machine may be different, but putting the dates instead of the price is the same.”
  • “They copied the concept. They could’ve done something different even if it was the same vending machine theme.”
  • “Is this a free source?”
  • “I thought NCT DREAM’s concept was so interesting when it was released.”
  • “Doesn’t SM make the designs themselves? Did they get permission? It looks too similar.”
