YG Entertainment stars Big Bang and 2NE1 have become victims of international plagiarism once again, this time a juice brand from Puerto Rico called "Space Gang" has used the "Lollipop" video concept for their latest TV commercial, according to gokpop website.
This is not the first time the international media had copied K-pop songs and concepts for their promotions. A local K-pop site editor discovered the video when he noticed the music, style, dance and choreography are all very similar to Big Bang and 2NE1's "Lollipop" music video.
Many have shown their support for their K-pop idols, saying the brand should pay royalties for using their concept and that the commercial was a cheap rip off.
There haven't been any statements from either side as of yet, but legal action is expected to be carried out as with most plagiarism cases.
