K-pop fans are in disbelief as Indian singer Ipsitaa is being called out for allegedly copying scenes from multiple K-pop music videos in her latest release, “Kadar Na Jaane.“ The music video has stirred up reactions, with many netizens finding it more amusing than offensive.
The MV reportedly showcases scenes resembling iconic visuals from popular K-pop acts like IVE, BLACKPINK, aespa, BTS, and more. The opening scene closely mirrors Wonyoung’s dramatic airplane fall from IVE’s hit song, “I AM.” Other scenes appear to borrow aesthetics from aespa’s KWANGYA world, BLACKPINK‘s “Whistle,” and even references from IZ*ONE’s videos.
Despite the allegations, rather than leaving harsh criticism, many K-netizens have found humor in what they describe as “blatant plagiarism.” Comments range from surprise to laughter, with some even likening the video to a parody or a quick K-pop-themed creation.
Reactions from K-Netizens include:
- “What is this now?”
- “This is so ridiculous that it’s funny.”
- “I’m not even mad.”
- “Wait, lol, this feels more like a parody.”
- “It starts with ‘I Am,’ hahaha.”
- “Dancing on wings, the outfit is similar too, haha. It’s so identical that it doesn’t even feel like plagiarism, it’s just funny.”
