Fourth-Generation Girl Group Sparks Backlash For Using Boy Group’s Title Track As Their Own
K-Pop girl group WOOAH, preparing to release its second mini album, UNFRAMED, received criticism for one of the tracks on the new album.
In the highlight medley video, netizens noticed that track five, titled “Girls Love Boys,” sounded very familiar.

Turns out, the song was the same as its company’s junior boy group DXMON‘s title track, “Boys Love Girls.” DXMON is under SQQ Entertainment, the same company as WOOAH, and released its first single album, HYPERSPACE 911 with the title track, “Girls, Love boys, Love girls” in May.
ㅅㅂ 개어이없음
우아 후배 남돌 타이틀곡 앞뒤만 바꿔서
우아 수록곡으로 냄 https://t.co/unZAgo0ZBR pic.twitter.com/vZz37UpkQg— 수파두파 (@SUPADUPAMY) June 15, 2024
F*ck so ridiculous. WOOAH included a b-side track that’s the same song as DXMON’s title track and just switched the title backwards.
Fans were baffled and couldn’t understand why the company would use the same song for both groups.
걍 그룹명도 아우라고 짓지… https://t.co/MG5gUEQVFC

Might as well just change the group name to ‘AHWOO’ why don’t you…
회사에서 이 곡 ㅈㄴ 맘에 드는데 개쳐망해서 우아 타이틀로는 다시 못하고 수록곡이라도 넣어서 한 번 희망 걸어보자같음 https://t.co/Ake4xNbP59

It looks like the company really liked the song, but it didn’t receive as much spotlight, and because they couldn’t use it again as WOOAH’s title song, they just added it as one of their b-sides.
그냥 회사가 뭔가 거대한 세계관 만들려고하는거 같은데 가사는 모르지만 소녀 시점 하나 소년 시점 하나 뭔가 존나 멋진 세계관 만들고 싶은데 방법이 잘못됨 https://t.co/SaWAHz3Elt

It looks like the company is trying to make some grand storyline, with a boy side and a girl side, but their method of doing it is wrong.
노래를이런식으로빨아쓰다니…

Can’t believe they are really reusing a song like this…but the song is really good though.
아니..아무리 좆소여도 a&r의 개념이 티끌만큼도 너무 없는거 아닌가….ㅠㅠ https://t.co/xO1cvN9F87

Even if they are a small agency, the A&R team has no conscience…

What?????? I can understand that you guys used a lot of money to make this song, but really? Wow.
What are your thoughts on reusing a song with artists from the same company?
