omonatheydidA Chinese group is being accused of copying group B1A4.
Korean netizens are targeting the Chinese group ‘决胜团’ for its similarities with B1A4, even posting a collection of side-by-side comparison photos of the two groups.
The collage shows remarkable similarities in not only the style, but also album jacket covers, homepage images and television appearances.
The group has been receiving criticism since then with netizens commenting, “I thought [决胜团] was a cover group at first but the fact they made an official debut is shocking”, “Even looking at the outfit it’s undeniable” and “It’s great Korean singers are gaining popularity but to make copycat groups based off of SNSD, Big Bang, SHINee, Hyuna and now B1A4 risks giving a detrimental effect to the original artists.”

Date: 2012-07-17 05:11 pm (UTC)I like this and their faces and voices and... Why do they even need to copy? What the hell....

Date: 2012-07-17 05:21 pm (UTC)But then again, kpop boy/girl groups always copy off each other. Shouldn't they worry about their own groups in S.Korea getting more distinct concepts...?

Date: 2012-07-17 11:59 am (UTC)I listened to one of 决胜团's songs and I must say even though
they're copying they're still cute.
Although their styles are the same, the songs aren't that similar.

Date: 2012-07-18 12:24 am (UTC)I know at least they have my attention. I've been looking for some cute music in mandarin and I probably would have never heard of them without this stunt, haha

Date: 2012-07-19 02:38 pm (UTC)But... B1A4 will be fine - this only really causes problems for 决胜团.
It's a shame too, their music is pretty good and different than my Flawfree Five's.
