YG may see it as creative but netizens saw plagiarism.
There were a few scenes in 2NE1’s ‘Fire’ space version MV which netizens point out plagiarises M.I.A’s ‘Jimmy’ MV.


MVs:

M.I.A ‘Jimmy’ was a song done in the 60s/70s for a movie called ‘Jimmy’.


Netizens say:

* “Looks like plagiarism to me. The scenes look similar”
* “The person who was able to go dig out this MV and photos for comparison is more power than the comparison itself”
* “To say the truth, this is like the first time they do this in our country. This is not counted as plagiarism”
* “I thought they photos gave me a more Chakra feel than M.I.A feel”
* “I’m sorry but this don’t interest me”
* “I guess YG didn’t see it this way”
* “The MV has no creation, just plagiarisms”
* “It is just that small part to the MV, it’s called plagiarism?”
* “They really do look alike, the scenes”

lol wut

I had the same reaction.

So... if I reprint Harry Potter with Korean names in South Korea, and claim that it's mine because Harry Potter wasn't written in that country, it's not plagiarism?

...SCREW SCHOOL, I JUST GOT A GET RICH QUICK SCHEME.

there's been a lot of this happening as of late hasn't it? -netizens noticing stuff similar to other MVs/songs.

[ficcy.livejournal.com]

The 100-arm concept originates from the Hindi God Shiva.
It doesn't belong to M.I.A.
It belongs to God.

[yourexsilly.livejournal.com]

I was going to say this :)

The whole 100 arm "move" has been used multiple times anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. Silly netizens

[ex-gyuhyun.livejournal.com]

I've seen that clip as well and it is pretty alike but what is original anymore? and what could you do about it anyway unless M.I.A incredibly takes issue with it? pointlessssss~

[ficcy.livejournal.com]

ALSO.

BRB LOL'ING.

[hisarashi.livejournal.com]

that's my favourite too :D

[pokerface911.livejournal.com]

LOL TO THE NETIZENS. I mean even dramas or maybe other mv gets that concept:)) It's not even copying stuff. It's from a god from thailand(?). =)) LOL. Netizens notice too much details lately. Maybe they are just making this stuff so that fire can be more advertised. keke.

Shiva is a God from the religion Hinduism.
Hinduism is widely practiced all over the world. :)

NEWS does the 100 arm move in their latest song as well, do netizens want to go and attack them too?
And I wish I had the appropriate gif of that to post with this :(

here you go

Someone in Kpop "borrows" from someone else.

In other news, bears shit in the woods.

Film at 11.

lol! You always crack me up!

[herro-kitty.livejournal.com]

“I’m sorry but this don’t interest me” LOL I love this netizen!

I'm already sick of this Fire song, I had high expectations about 2ne1, but it seems that

[merlinspants.livejournal.com]

LOL saving that

[bulgocrazyi.livejournal.com]

To me 2ne1 looks like they could be Lady Gaga's 'Harajuku girls'

[princesshyori.livejournal.com]

I thought Harajuku Girls was a Gwen Stefani song.

[sugardrizzle.livejournal.com]

Netizens don't read history books anymore.

GAAAH. ;____;

[milkshake.livejournal.com]

can it really be called plagiarism though? I mean, so many pvs look similar (not specifically to 2NE1's pv just in general)...
I remember someone posted once a comparison between Seungri's Strong baby and a Justin Timberlake pv... *shrugs*

to tell you the truth? don't know, and don't care. The pv is hot, the girls are hot, the song is hot.

[lalalande.livejournal.com]

OH yeah bad bad plagiarists. Johnny san did too!

(http://fr.tinypic.com) (http://fr.tinypic.com)

Let's sue Johnny san too!

[nawalziiee.livejournal.com]

and Tegoshi's cornrows, and Yamapi's afro. we could sue all of them!!!

[bulgocrazyi.livejournal.com]

A bit off topic but.. is it just me or do all Korean girls sound the same when they rap?

[dalpaengi.livejournal.com]

not all XD tashannie sounds different...but that might be because she's half black XD

[cyannon.livejournal.com]

uh seriously. doing the indian multiple arms thing (not to sound racist. just for lack of better word.)is as common as leaves on a tree. i see at least one of that dance in my school everyyear. how is that plagiarism? its like saying a body wave is plagiarism.

[sojufever.livejournal.com]

lmao

Reminds me of this.

[fashionbang.livejournal.com]

i dont know how much i'd call it plagiarism but either way HALF OF OMONA FUCKING CALLED IT ANYWAY before the video even came out.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I def think they scoped out what was "hot" atm before they decided on 2ne1's concept lol

[domokuniscute.livejournal.com]

“The person who was able to go dig out this MV and photos for comparison is more power than the comparison itself”

ROFL power of netizens

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

oh netizens. there should be an occupation as a netizen, the job descs are stalking and digging out kpop stuff.

hey if they are netizens, then what are we OMONAS? XD

[lalalande.livejournal.com]

[invisibelle.livejournal.com]

extremely well said.

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

lol.. seriously Korea sees plagiarisms basically everywhere... ~ there have been various videos already in which that arm-thingie was used (meaning not only Korean ones..lol)

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Whatever netizens, it's not like M.I.A.'s was original one either.

[goldengutgirl.livejournal.com]

but M.I.A. is fiercest because she has the most number of arms!! lolll

SEXIST FANDOM IS SEXIST

[lalalande.livejournal.com]

I really don't give 2 flying fucks about them. I won't buy the cd but I won't downloaded either.

2NE1 is as original as BigBang, if you are going to bash them for their "fashion", "the way they rap" and whatnot, well you better own up to your opinion and admit that BIgBang has the exact same flaws! That's it.

NowI would like to have people's opinion on their voice. Could someone spam me with audtion stuff and whatnot?

I apologize if I offend anyone btw...just to be safe.

Re: SEXIST FANDOM IS SEXIST

Oh My fail!
won't *download

it's an homage.
