TS Entertainment is being accused of possibly having plagiarized the Sonamoo’s logo.

A post with the title, “Now an Agency Even Plagiarizes a University Entrance Cram School Logo?” was made on the online community website, Instiz, on January 4. The post contained the words “that’s TS Entertainment” along with an image of Sonamoo’s logo as well as the logo of a university entrance cram school in Daegu, Korea by the same name. The logos seem to have similarities, from the chosen font to the oversized ‘A’ meant to resemble a pine tree.

There were a number of different reactions to this from netizens, including, “Isn’t that definitely plagiarism?” “This is hard to believe,” “I think this much could be coincidence,” and “The logo is something that could easily come to mind, I think.”

Meanwhile, Sonamoo is a seven-member girl group that recently debuted. They revealed their first music video, “Deja Vu,” on December 28 and are garnering attention for their powerful performances; the group is now actively promoting the song on music programs.

because making the A big in a word where it's right in the middle is soooo original, rme

Basically companies need to check their work before they debut groups. The logo never looked particularly original anyway but this is pretty suspect.

getting into scandals right at debut is a rite of passage by this point

this is easily a coincidence tho, BAP fans need to redirect their anger away from these girls

They should just go ahead and change it. It's still early, so they don't have to worry about changing a lot of merchandise. Just go ahead and change it. Sports teams sometimes have to change their logos between seasons and it's usually not a big deal.

Plus some groups change their logos from concept to concept, so they could just play it off that way if they want to wait.

Is it too much to ask of TS to give a fuck? Change the logo and at least give the girls a chance.

honestly TS is awful for their treatment of BAP but I would believe this is coincidental. Seems like the A is the best letter to stick the silhouette of a tree after all. It's not that unique of a design.

I would believe this was more of a coincidence if the name of the school and the name of the group weren't the same with the A as an accent in the same manner as well.

A single google seach would have prevented them from this mistake.
Poor girls. Poor girls groups whose debuts are half-assed and full of scandals.

Tbh personally I think this is coincidental but I'm nhf ppl concluding every Sonamoo "hate" automatically comes from "pressed BAP fans" ://

where else would it be from tho?

You know, people cosplaying as a certain fandom (well in this case Baby) only to stir shit to make everything worse?

And not only that, I see ppl esp non-Babys also commenting on their debut perfs stating oh this is disappointing/I expected more/not my cup of tea or something along those lines and their opinions are seen as "hate" and they get called as pressed BAP fans, I'm just like????

well the logo was almost exactly the same so idk i don't think the accusations are baseless.
and i doubt those who're spreading the rumors are all B.A.P fans like everyone with eyes can see the similarity SMH.
ugh ts please give these girls justice they're so talented they can survive without the BAD media play just play your cards right.

Wait Idk how people are saying this is just a coincidence. I would've said the same thing at first because Netizens are reaching Gods but the name of the school is the same too. I can understand the capitalization of the letter but with the name being a same too...I wouldn't put it past TS.

Can you imagine how rushed Sonamoo's debut must have been for TS to grab some unrelated business's name and logo and hope no one would notice, LMAO. It wasn't even a foreign business!
