Ahead of the music video drop, a teaser was posted on X, but it quickly garnered attention for all the wrong reasons. Fans were quick to point out similarities between Picheolin's track and BIGBANG member Daesung's recent trot release 'HANDO-CHOGUA'.
While acknowledging that both songs belong to the trot genre, fans argued that there are too many similarities in the melody and sound of the two tracks. Some attempted to defend Dino by suggesting that it was a common trope within the genre, but others countered that Daesung's previous releases had distinct feels and tunes.
The controversy has sparked heated debates on social media platforms, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the issue. The backlash has also raised questions about the extent of creative freedom in the K-pop industry and whether artists are held accountable for potential plagiarism.
As the debate continues to unfold, one thing is clear: SEVENTEEN Dino's solo release has ignited a firestorm of controversy that shows no signs of dying down anytime soon.
