Plagiarism case #8932572: MBC steals from Monsta X

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

• Monsta X performed a cover of 'Sorry Sorry' at Fukuoka


• They made up their own dance for the dance break section of the song


• Leeteuk, BTS, Twice & Gfriend then a dance cover of 'Sorry Sorry'


• During the dance break section where Leeteuk and BTS move to the front stage Twice and Gfriend can be seen doing Monsta X's dance choreography


• Wonho asked a staff member why this happened and they answered that it looked cool and gave it to the groups


• This was revealed on their Vapp broadcast, here

Hi OP! I found the two videos that the tumblr post was referencing. Maybe you'd like to add them to your post so that people can watch and compare:

monsta x stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCP3sMXDThc

twice stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD0wtJHGCNk&feature=youtu.be

no need to reply to this, but please don't forget to source them properly if you do add them. :)

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

o thanks i was gunna add them but totally forgot. thanks!

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

No problem! :) please fix the source for the twice vid. I added a couple of tags for you as well.

I love that Wonho gif! <3

damn that fucking sucks. they remove them from the cover, steal their choreography and don't even give them airtime.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

yo what the fuck. Poor guys

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

I was just seeing this all on twitter and was confused, thanks for making it clear.. @_@

They've been working so hard non-stop too. -_- Ugh, my heart breaks for them. t.t

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

What the hell. They literally had them come in, practice their cover, then cancelled it? That makes no sense since half the performances at the DMC Festival were covers. I guess they just wanted more ~trending groups to do the number, but what the heck.

I hope MBC makes some sort of statement/amends, but I doubt it.

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

I hope those MBC assholes who did this get hemorrhoids

[buckleyourboots.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they talked about this otherwise no one would've know how royally screwed over they were. The fact that they didn't even know anything about it until they were watching their choreo being done by the other groups on stage, SUCH bullshit. They must be devastated.

YES DO THIS, it's a brilliant album.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

it's a brilliant album

minus 'white girl'

[buckleyourboots.livejournal.com]

My play counts wouldn't disagree with you...

[apori.livejournal.com]

This.

Also, this reeks of 'because they could get away with it'ness. I doubt MBC would be this flippant stealing choreo from an SM group or any group from one of the big companies really.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i've read about it on twitter. but how's the reaction from k-netz? if it's gaining attention, mbc wouldn't (they shouldn't anyway) get away with it.

[717cm.livejournal.com]

theres a post abt it on instiz thats gaining lots of traction, hopefully mbc takes responsibility

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

I saw this on twitter earlier and was so mad. So apparently MX's choreo is good enough for broadcast, but the group itself isn't? This is disgusting.
I hope there are fancams the stage they did in Fukuoka.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

ugh i'm glad they exposed mbc but i hope this doesn't come biting them in the ass :'( they're just starting to gain some recognition but nowhere near top tier groups with huge fandoms to back them up, if mbc starts banning them from stuff or w/e i'm gonna be so pissed. they don't deserve this!!!

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

that's what i thought too, but i hope starship is powerful enough to not let it happen

[mordres.livejournal.com]

This is beyond shitty. I'm glad they spoke up bc that's really all they can do :(

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

This is so shitty, I can't imagine watching it and then seeing your choreo being performed by someone else. It's one thing to be cut from the show, but then to realise that MBC didn't have a problem with the performance but rather who was doing it.

It would really crush someone's spirit.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

this is honestly a new low for mbc lmao. i appreciate the boys for speaking out and i hope this gains traction. i'm happy mbc is getting dragged on twitter but idk if they pay attention to that

[chasing-thewind.livejournal.com]

ughhhhh i saw this earlier and was so disgusted. i hate that companies can pull this kind of thing and get away with it until the group itself speaks out. monsta x deserves better

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

'we thought it looked cool so used it' is the kind of excuse i would expect someone on tumblr saying for reposting a gif, not an excuse from a bigass company for stealing someone's work and then cutting them out of the festival. pathetic

yesss op bring that luna gif to omona

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

This is reaalllyyy shitty of MBC and I hope Monsta X gets some kind of justice (and no repercussion for speaking up). :/ The boys work so hard, they really deserve all the best.

[soulsreverie.livejournal.com]

wth this is so upsetting and apparently all the articles on insitz and other sites have been deleted by MBC...

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

that's because people from I.O.I can't go on until the group disbands probably

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

i loved that they stood up and talked about it instead of sweeping it under the rug. however i'm scared they might miss some opportunities as a result of this whole issue. still props to them...

[velvetpocket.livejournal.com]

that's shitty as fuck, damn. This is gonna hurt..

OT sorry but what is happening in the GIF/what is it from?

[flaffles.livejournal.com]

YIKES. These kids can't catch a break.
Why would they even feel the need to do this though?
I mean I guess they got more "popular" groups to come in but...do they really think this is in any way professional?

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Wow, what the fuck? That's such a shitty thing to do. I can't imagine how they must have felt. These companies man....

[untrueo.livejournal.com]

" ...because it looked cool." Those word piss me off. Creative work is hard. Taking someone's work because it looks cool is like stabbing them in the heart while they watch helplessly.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

this is horrible and unjust, just make your own choreography mbc

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

what the hell, mbc?! this is beyond rude.

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

that is fucked up of mbc. doesn't starship have some noteworthy groups? it's not like they are some really company. why mbc thought it was ok to not only cut their part but steal their choreo as well is beyond me.

[fairyfay30.livejournal.com]

Poor boys; that must suck so much, especially finding out accidentally, after all their hard work in choreographing it. Hope there no repercussions for them speaking up on it.

Geez, MBC should be held accountable. I wonder if someone from Monsta X staff leaked it to MBC or if MBC directly stole it from watching the cover. That was not a nice thing to do!
