The original poster continues, “‘Lonely’ was published first in January 2012. ‘Me You’ went public this April. ‘Lonely’ was released approximately 15 months earlier.”

“The point I realized it might be plagiarism? from the beginning,” they note.

[+101, -2] B1a4 fans stayed quiet because this came out right after they said Red Velvet’s Ice Cream cake was a copy. They were scared because the public was against them at this point

[+93, -3] It became an issue a while ago…but it died down right away…but it looks like straight plagiarism….the string and floating….

[+66, -1] Heol, they really are similarㅋㅋㅋ
