B1A4 Accused Of Plagiarizing SHINee's Stage Outfits

B1A4 has come under fire for allegedly plagiarizing SHINee's previous outfits.
The outfits in question come from B1A4's concert Adventure 2015, where the members sported blue, tailored military-style outfits during their performances. Korean users on the blog and comment site Pann were quick to point out the similarities between B1A4's outfits and SHINee's promotional concept for "Everybody." The Pann post gained so much attention that on September 15 Korean media outlet Kookman Ilbo picked up the news as well.

Not only was the color called into question but the details on the jackets, the pocket placements, and the tailoring as well. Netizens felt as though the similarities were too specific for the outfits to be a coincidence. Furthermore, users also noted that B1A4 had previous outfits that allegedly copied SHINee's "View" concept, too.
"Honestly the past similarities in concept between B1A4 and SHINee could be understood because of the fact that hipster look is popular right now but this time it's too much," one user shared in reference to B1A4's controversy with SHINee's "View, translated by Koreaboo, "These are the same clothes from 'Everybody' and it's not sold just like that it's been reformed to match each member of SHINee."
Some fans even used photo editors to alter the color of SHINee's previous outfits and matched them to the corresponding B1A4 Member.


However, most users tried to take the blame away from B1A4 and place it onto their stylist instead. Many asked that the stylist be more careful, or even be fired, before B1A4's next comeback.
What do you think of the outfits? Would you call it style plagiarism?
