V-Pop Song Accused of Plagiarizing BTS Jungkook, Producer Sparks Controversy

A recent V-Pop release has come under fire for allegedly plagiarizing BTS member Jungkook’s song “Standing Next To You.” The controversy escalated when the producer of the track appeared to mock Jungkook, adding fuel to the debate. In 2023, Jungkook released “Standing Next To You” with a popular choreography video that featured him in a white shirt. Recently, V-Pop artist Hùng Huỳnh dropped the music video for “CHẲNG THỂ NHẮM MẮT,” which netizens claim bears strong similarities to Jungkook’s song. https://twitter.com/julii19226/status/1868724193095041030?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1868724193095041030%7Ctwgr%5E18c6da7d85f77cb0ef203cceff4e8a5b12d1e779%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.koreaboo.com%2Fnews%2Fproducers-accusations-towards-bts-jungkook-blasted-after-plagiarism-allegations%2F   https://twitter.com/givemesomesalt/status/1868703034941088047?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1868703034941088047%7Ctwgr%5E18c6da7d85f77cb0ef203cceff4e8a5b12d1e779%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.koreaboo.com%2Fnews%2Fproducers-accusations-towards-bts-jungkook-blasted-after-plagiarism-allegations%2F   Fans pointed out that the melody, styling, and choreography concept closely resembled Jungkook’s video.
