ILLIT Hit With NewJeans Plagiarism Accusations Again Over “I Got Your Back” MV

ILLIT is facing renewed plagiarism accusations after fans pointed out similarities between the retro filters and editing style in their Japanese single “I Got Your Back” and NewJeans’ own Japanese debut, “Supernatural.”

Some fans are calling the resemblance too obvious to ignore, while others are defending ILLIT, arguing the visuals just lean into a retro trend that isn’t exclusive to either group. The comparison is dragging up the same accusations that first surfaced back in 2024 during the height of the HYBE and Min Hee Jin conflict.
