On August 21, a post titled “Why Is Teddy’s Group Copying LE SSERAFIM” went viral, amassing over 80,000 views.
The post included a photo of MEOVV’s Ella Gross wearing a track jacket paired with a lacy skirt, alongside another image of Chaewon in a similar outfit.
The author of the post alleged that Ella Gross had copied Chaewon’s style.
Netizens quickly dismissed the accusations, finding the claim amusing, especially given that LE SSERAFIM and Chaewon have faced plagiarism accusations themselves in the past.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- We usually don’t consider this level of similarity to be plagiarism
- There’s no reason to be upset; LE SSERAFIM isn’t the first to wear that outfit. Check out Son Naeun for comparison
- This style has been popular since 2019. LE SSERAFIM fans seem to be editing the facts, lol
- From the quality of the outfits, it looked more like Chaewon was the one copying
- How little understanding of fashion do you need to claim LE SSERAFIM as the original?
