1. [+340, -10] Can they just admit they did it because the plagiarism was too obvious ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+310, -8] Wow, only now that it's time for comeback do they bother changing it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ acted like they were deaf and blind when the controversy was actually brewing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+282, -8] Basically another method of brushing it under the rug before Coldplay comes after them with a legal suit

4. [+39, -0] This is basically admitting to plagiarism... why do they need to explain themselves as if there's something more complex going on

5. [+30, -3] So they're saying they had to register Coldplay because they didn't want to take it to court? They keep talking as if they didn't plagiarize but they don't want a legal battle over it... well, if they're so sure they didn't plagiarize, why not take it to a legal battle? What is this pathetic stance? And anyone can tell that the chorus is exactly the same

6. [+28, -1] Isn't their nickname self-produced-dol? Their whole schtick is that they produce everything from their songs to their choreography? Well looks like they're plagiarized...

7. [+26, -1] So ridiculous. I remember when people first brought up these suspicions, fans shielded them to all hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ but look at how the agency basically admits to it, all the while beating around the bush... Can Koreans please stop plagiarizing already? It's so embarrassing

8. [+26, -2] The songs aren't even similar, they're exactly the same ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+17, -0] I immediately thought of Coldplay when I first heard this song ㅋㅋㅋ but their stupid fangirls kept saying it was sampling or whatever ㅋㅋ it was only the stupid fangirls who were deaf to the whole thing, the public could already tell that the song was plagiarized

10. [+15, -1] They're basically plagiarism-dols now. I knew there was a reason the song was so good to listen to, it was too familiar to a song I already liked
