TXT is facing controversy. The K-pop group just dropped the music video for their track "Beautiful Strangers," featured on their latest Japanese album. Fans are buzzing about it, but not all reactions are positive.
The controversy began when some fans accused the video of plagiarism. Specific sequences and themes in the MV bear a striking resemblance to other popular music videos. Social media lit up with comparisons immediately after the release.
Soon after posting, fans flooded Twitter with their opinions. Some supported TXT, while others called out the similarities. The situation gained traction quickly.
"I love TXT, but this looks too much like [another artist’s video]. They should be more original!" said a fan on Twitter.
TXT’s agency hasn’t responded yet. They’re likely monitoring the situation closely.
The group continues to promote their new album, but the shadow of this controversy looms large. It’ll be interesting to see how it develops.
