Word has reached Korea about rookie group Purplay‘s
alleged choreography plagiarism, and the group’s agency has finally
addressed the issue.
To recap, the girl group unveiled a video teaser for their debut single “Love
and Remember“, only to gain criticism from overseas fans who recognized
the choreography sequences to be originally from America’s Best Dance
Crew‘s former champions, I.aM.mE.
The I.aM.mE crew members also expressed their frustration through Twitter as
well as on Purplay’s YouTube channel, asking to be at least credited and
acknowledged, stating that the entire dubstep segment was actually theirs.
If you recently checked, the description for the full music video has recently been
updated to include that the I.aM.mE crew worked with Purplay to create the
choreography. Fans have taken notice, and have been wondering what led to the
change.
Well it turns out, the word has spread to Korea, and Purplay’s agency was
contacted for a statement. The agency commented, “After hearing netizens
point out this matter, we are in the process of taking the appropriate steps to
resolve [the issue].”
