STAYC, a K-pop girl group that debuted on November 12, receives criticism from Korean netizens for some scenes in their video clip “So bad”. According to netizens, the production used elements reminiscent of a recent Miley Cyrus video.
The set questioned by the public is the one in which spheres known as ‘mirror balls’ appear, diamond on the floor, plants and balloons that surround the singer. This has been compared to the scene of the video clip “Midnight sky”, which except for animals, is configured with similar ‘props’.

After the discussion became a ‘hot topic’ in local forums, the rookie group’s agency, Highup Entertainment, it was pronounced via Twitter.
“We hear that they point to one of the sets in ‘So bad’ MV of being similar to a foreign artist. We have asked the production company for explanations. To prevent a similar event in the future, we will keep an eye on copyright and produce carefully. “
The company that was in charge of the music video is Rigend Film. It didn’t take long for them to express themselves officially as well. They posted a black box on Instagram alongside the following words.

“Rigend Film was in charge of ‘So bad’ MV and is responsible for the planning, direction and art direction. Therefore, we feel embarrassed in this plagiarism controversy. “
The company points out that there was no intention to copy another artist; however, they understand the netizens’ complaint.
“We decided to use a combination of elements (mirror balls, confetti, silver leaves, trees) after consulting with the set directors. These props are frequent in our productions, but we accept that the scene that resulted gave way to a controversy that we must face. ”.
“Directly, we apologize to Highup Entertainment, STAYC and the staff that was affected by the issue. We also regret what happened with the public and we hope that in the future our work will be better ”.
