[+248, -9] Their video was so embarrassing that I'm embarrassed for them.. how many times have they bombed themselves now?.. Do they really not see how they're ruining their image every time they act like this? Why not just stay quiet.. why dig your own grave..
[+184, -10] The public was the first to bring up their similarities to New Jeans, and even critics pointed out that it was clear that ILLIT's concept took direction from New Jeans, so why be so stubborn and stoke this war against the public like this?
[+173, -8] They're past the point of being incapable of their jobs.. they're just utterly stupid. The fact that this video was approved by all the heads over there is enough reason for their CEO to get terminated. Not only do they have zero understanding of the entertainment industry, but they don't even know what the point they're trying to make is. As long as they can blame ILLIT's flop on Min Hee Jin, they don't care to understand.
[+169, -7] Seems like this group buttoned the wrong button right off the bat. Their only debate now is whether to invest further and try to keep dragging them along or just can the whole group altogether. It's very clear that the people producing this group has a low understanding of this industry and no aesthetic vision at all.
[+102, -6] What is wrong with them?
[+35, -1] It's so obvious how respected Min Hee Jin's history in the industry has been. Everyone she's worked with has stood up to defend her.
[+30, -1] All I know is I was horrified after seeing ILLIT's #1 encore
[+24, -2] So can Bang-ssi be charged with breach of trust yet or what
[+21, -1] A good display of Hybe's standards
[+21, -1] Absolutely unbelievable that such rocks for brains have been leading a K-Pop company all this time
[+17, -1] I still get goosebumps thinking about how Belift shoved the phone at Wonhee to personally delete all the hate comments herself so that they can get that captured on camera
[+11, -1] This makes me hate ILLIT more

Article: ILLIT trying to prove New Jeans plagiarized? 'Extreme backlash' against Belift's video
Source: Sports Kyunghyang via Nate
[+102, -4] So embarrassing... Belift tried to say New Jeans copied Black Pink but Black Pink's director came out and denied it.. So many people in the industry thus far have come out to defend New Jeans (dancers, directors), despite the very real fear of having to face a huge company like Hybe head on..
[+73, -2] I'm still so surprised by Belift's video. Not only did they not clarify anything, they actually made this whole situation so much worse for themselves. They've clearly declared war against the public, which will only throw their group into the corner. They were better off never releasing that video at all.
[+63, -2] The audacity to bring Black Pink into this.. ㅡㅡ^ basically making a suicide goal with their own feet ㅋ
[+3, -0] What people are saying is true. No one's ever looked at New Jeans and thought they looked like Black Pink but everyone looked at ILLIT and thought they looked like New Jeans. Belift needs to stop getting mad at the wrong people and wasting their money.

Video: ILLIT's agency refutes plagiarism accusations... but expert calls it "the worst video possible"
Source: JTBC News via YouTube
[+2,600] This video's a clear indication that Hybe is ruining themselves... two pigs are ruining this nation.
[+1,100] A catastrophe created by the dogjusshis from the gaming industry
[+1,900] Belift tried so hard to drag Black Pink into this by their hair but Black Pink's director said they see no similarities between BP and New Jeans ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the most hilarious out of this all
[+1,600] F*ck it, Belift needs to sue every single member of the public then for feeling confused when they first saw ILLIT's teasers
[+1,000] At this point, is Belift not the biggest ILLIT anti of them all?!?!?!?!?
[+1,200] Belift could've just stayed quiet but as Hybe does, they're digging their own grave again. Do they not see that mentioning plagiarism over and over again will only get ILLIT more hate?
[+1,300] Imagine being a CEO and approving this, zero business sense
[+137] This video's so problematic whether it was approved by the CEO or not
[+1,000] Super embarrassing
[+239] The most hilarious part of this all is that most of the stuff they're accusing New Jeans of copying are concepts that Min Hee Jin herself worked on as a director in the past ㅋㅋㅋ they're basically telling Min Hee Jin to apologize to herself ㅋㅋ
