'Plagiarism controversy → Suspicion of stealing members'New Jin's, was the controversy heavy? Declaration of Rest to Recharge



Group Newzins declared a break to recharge amid ongoing controversy.

Newzins' agency Adore said on its official account on the 23rd that `After successfully completing this activity, which has been a breathtaking ride through a number of difficult processes, Newzins will take a break to recharge and then take time to prepare to return to a new look.'

Please look forward to it and show interest in it. We're planning to visit our fans with amazing schedules and contents", encouraging interest in disclosing various contents during a short break.



Previously, Newzins, who debuted on July 22, 2022, made a meaningful speech to mark its second anniversary this year. Min-ji said "It was two years gone by in a flash. If you think you're just getting used to the stage, there's always a new stage waiting. The challenges will continue, but I believe I can do it if I'm with the members." Hani said, "I've been doing so much over the past two years that I've become deeper into what I'm doing now, and I feel like I've come to love and enjoy it," Daniel said. "It's been a dreamy two years. Thank you so much for making these precious memories, Bunnies", Harin says "I'm grateful to be with precious people, and I'm happy to have precious Bunnies around me, Hyein thinks "It hasn't been long since we debuted yet". I still feel like it's a time when I want to try and there are many things I can do. I want to continue to show various sides to those who love and care about us."

However, the celebration of the second anniversary of his debut was only for a while, and he had to have a disappointing birthday as various controversies surrounding the New Jeans continued.



Controversy erupted when it was pointed out that Newzins' 'Bubblegum' plagiarized the British band Shakatak's song 'Easier Said Than Done'. Shakatak strongly insisted on plagiarism of 'Bubble Sword', signaling legal action to take measures, including the suspension of the use of 'Bubble Sword'. However, the two songs "Bubblegum" and "Sad Dandun" are different from the chord progression to bpm, and the overall mood and flow of the song are different. In particular, raising the issue of unauthorized use on this issue is completely different from the facts, and it is judged that the development of a simple one-word melody is similar. We strongly objected to the plagiarism controversy, and if further refutation is needed, the claimant asked us to discuss it again with a credible analysis report."

In addition, there were reports from Dispatch on the morning of the 23rd that Min Hee-jin, CEO of A-Door, was suspected of robbing members of New Jeans, raising controversy. Source Music has been preparing to produce a new girl group with 'N Team (currently New Jin's)', which includes Minji, Hani, Harin, Daniel, and Hyein, aiming to debut in the third quarter of 2021, but Min Hee-jin of Hive CBO, who joined as a creator of 'N Team' in 2019, demanded the expansion of the authority (R&R), revealing the process in which five New Jin's members were transferred to the new Hive label Adore (established in November 2021). In response to reports that Min Hee-jin robbed the members of Newzins, a member of Source Music, Adore said "It is a clear false fact that the members of Newzins were taken from Source Music. I will take legal action in the future" countered.
