Recently, Jack (J97) announced the release of a lightstick exclusively for the Dom Dom fandom and was immediately criticized for plagiarism.
It is known that Lightstick originated from Kpop, is an item associated with Korean artists. The item is bought by fans or given by artists during large-scale concerts.
In Vietnam, many artists have released lightsticks such as Dong Nhi, Hoang Thuy Linh, Son Tung M-TP. These specially designed lightsticks help fans remember their idols and are considered a connecting item between artists and fans.
Toward Jack, he chose yellow as the main color for the light stick. The light stick has a simple design with a black body and a spherical light. Inside, the letter J - the first letter of the male singer's name is stylized, creating an accent.
After the lightstick image of Jack was posted, he quickly received a lot of criticism because the stick had many similarities with the light stick that Taeyang (BIGBANG) had just released.
Many people commented that Jack's public act of plagiarism is unacceptable.
On the forum, viewers pointed out the similarities between the two glow sticks.
Taeyang's light stick was yellow, designed with the sun symbol. Jack not only copied the color, black body design, yellow light, but also almost copied the poster for selling the light stick from Taeyang.
In addition, the J symbol embedded in Jack's lightstick resembles former DBSK member Kim Jaejoong.
Jack sells glow sticks for 997 thousand VND each. This amount is also controversial because most of the male singer's fans are students. The amount of nearly 1 million VND for a glow stick is too high. Therefore, many comments left that the male singer is taking advantage of fans to get rich.
Furthermore, as a controversial artist, Jack's long-standing artistic activities and the release of light sticks like A-list stars are also controversial.
Previously, he was involved in a love scandal. The male singer's image lost more points when he used Messi's image in the MV, causing a plagiarism scandal.
