HYBE Allegedly Disses NewJeans And Popular YouTuber Using Their Latest “Girl Group” SYNDI8
HYBE‘s newest girl group has already been hit up with plagiarism allegations.
On June 28, a post titled “HYBE’s Virtual CANARY Is Going On 500k Subscribed YourTuber Chol Ssak Man” went viral. In the post, the author uploaded a tweet from SYNDI8’s official account, which revealed that the virtual group would be appearing on a fake YouTuber’s (Chol Ssak Man) show.
" 신디에잇이 아니라 카나리 널 섭외하고 싶대. "
50만 너튜버 방송에 카나리가 혼자! 나가게 되었다.
??? : 어떻게 사람 목소리가 CD?
노래가 너무 좋다는 촐싹맨의 부탁으로 카나리는 노래를 다섯 곡이나 연달아 부르게 되는데…?!

Netizens immediately criticized the post and brought up parallels to NewJeans’ appearance on Chim Chak Man‘s YouTube show, which has been viewed 5.9 million times.
Notably, Chim Chak means calm while Chol Ssak (fake YouTuber) means to act out. Also, Chim Chak Man publicly supported Min Hee Jin during her feud with HYBE.
Netizens felt that the similarities between the show hosts were too similar to be a coincidence and criticized both HYBE and those involved in the virtual project.
- “Why is it that everything they do is so s*itty?”
- “Wow, this is really bad.”
- “Seriously, you ajussi’s need to get out.”
- “Seems like they aren’t even virtual and only have voices with illustrations.”
- “I think they went crazy from wanting to step on NewJeans and aespa, lol.”
- “LOL…”
- “Who’s going to watch this? Are they crazy?”
- “This is so shocking, seriously, lol.”
- “Sigh, are they seriously dissing NewJeans and Chim Chak Man?”
- “Ugh, look at these game-ajussi’s taste. It seriously reminds me of incels.”
Meanwhile, the group is already under fire after their designs were alleged to cater to HYBE’s incel fandom.
