HYBE Faces Allegations of Destroying NewJeans’ Comeback Shortly After Release of “How Sweet”

Controversy arises over their latest track “How Sweet.”


HYBE finds itself embroiled in allegations of undermining NewJeans‘ long-awaited comeback.

On May 24, NewJeans unveiled their new album along with the music video for their latest track, “How Sweet.”

However, within hours of the song’s release, a video surfaced online, quickly gaining traction. The video featured a snippet of “How Sweet” alongside two other tracks, accusing NewJeans of plagiarism.

Notably, it referenced Min Hee Jin‘s past claims of plagiarism against groups like ILLIT in its description.

Netizens were quick to express suspicion, pointing fingers at HYBE for potentially orchestrating the controversy to derail NewJeans‘ comeback.

Some comments speculated about the identity of the account owner:
“Is the account owner HYBE?”
“I knew (HYBE) would do something like this.”
“I feel this is a HYBE account acting like a LE SSERAFIM fan.”

Others criticized the timing and authenticity of the accusations:

Netizens also questioned the legitimacy of the YouTube account, “tearnot,” which had only one video focusing on NewJeans‘ alleged plagiarism.

The channel’s banner, seemingly referencing past plagiarism controversies, added fuel to the fire.

As discussions continue to unfold amidst the ongoing tensions between ADOR and HYBE, the issue of plagiarism in the K-pop industry remains a heated topic of debate.
