Girl group Kiss Of Life has just released a series of concept photos to prepare for their upcoming comeback. However, instead of creating a positive effect, member Haneul's photo series has encountered a wave of fierce controversy because it is said to be a "copy" of Blackpink's Jisoo style.
Immediately after being posted, netizens quickly discovered that Haneul's appearance from costumes, hairstyles to charisma all had many suspicious similarities with Jisoo's appearance in the video "Earthquake". Many comments said that this is not the first time Jisoo's style has been copied.
However, many fans also defend Kiss Of Life, saying that this is just a coincidence or a trendy fashion influence. "Actually, Jisoo is a style icon, it is not uncommon for others to be inspired," said an audience member.
Previously, right from their debut, the Kiss Of Life band was also accused of copying and imitating Blackpink. Kiss Of Life members were criticized for covering Blackpink's songs and the 4 members' solo songs such as "Whistle", "Shut Down", Jennie's "Solo", Rose's "Gone" and Lisa's "Money" many times... There are also articles mentioning that Kiss Of Life member Natty will become the next Lisa.
In early April, Kiss Of Life member also encountered controversy related to cultural appropriation.
