[All] Lucy plagiarism controversy summary, why fans admit it is severe from the music video to the song and character

Here's a quick summary of the Lucy plagiarism controversy. We'll cover everything from comparisons of music videos, songs, and characters that are questionable for their similarities to Japanese artists like Yorushika and Eve, to reactions from the fandom.

K-band LUCY is at the center of an unexpected plagiarism controversy. In particular, there have been continuous criticisms that the music video, song composition, and character style are excessively similar to the works of Japanese artists Yorushika and Eve.

This controversy is not a simple style homage, and even within the fandom, voices are being raised saying, “This is a bit too much,” so the situation is serious. We have summarized the Lucy plagiarism controversy and what parts were specifically pointed out as problems.

1. Lucy 'That's right' vs Yorushika 'Tell me (Itte)'

The first thing that was pointed out was Lucy's song 'That's Right'. When compared to Yorushika's 'Tell Me',

Especially among Yorushika fans, the overwhelming response was "It's too similar to say you don't know the composition." There was even a review on Google's song search function that said if you play "That's right", "Tell Me" will be searched.

2. Lucy 'Ugly' MV vs Eve 'Insomnia' MV

The music video controversy is also considerable.

Lucy	Eve

In this part, Eve's 'Insomnia' music video and Lucy's 'Ugly' music video show a high level of synchronization. In particular, it is being pointed out that symbolic scenes in Eve's cookie video were similarly recreated in Lucy's music video.

3. Lucy 'Hippo' vs Eve 'Last Dance'

Lucy's 'Hippo' and Eve's 'Last Dance' were evaluated as having similar introductory melody progressions.

In fact, there have been many reports of cases where Eve's 'Last Dance' came up when you said Lucy 'Hippo' with Google's voice search function.

4. Other similarity cases

Additional allegations of plagiarism have also been raised:

In particular, the similarity between the opening themes of 'Opening' and 'Chruno Crusade' garnered responses from animation fans, such as "the scene comes to mind as soon as you hear it."

5. What is the Lucy fandom's reaction? "This time, no shield"

This time, the plagiarism controversy about Lucy spread faster than expected within the fandom, making the situation even more serious. Even fans who usually cheer for Lucy are responding, saying, “This time, I’m really disappointed,” and “It’s too similar to be called an homage.”

In particular, the similarity between '맞네' and '말해줘' was evaluated as a hit even among fans, and the reliability was hit hard as the production and composition of the '웃난이' music video and the '인소니' MV were pointed out. This atmosphere goes beyond simple external criticism, and shows that voices of self-reflection are growing louder even within the fandom.

Currently, Lucy's side has not made any official statement, which has led to even more disappointment and criticism within the fandom. Beyond simple style reference, there is also the possibility that it could develop into a 'creative ethics' issue, so attention is being paid to how Lucy and her agency will respond in the future.
