On November 9, SM Entertainment dropped the teaser image for NCTŌĆÖs RESONANCE Pt.2. Unlike the RESONANCE Pt.1, the fact that all 23 members appeared at the same time caught the attention. The album is reported to consist of 21 tracks, including the title track ŌĆ£90ŌĆÖs Love.ŌĆØ However, after the teaser was released, some netizens pointed out that the teaser image is similar to fashion brand SunneiŌĆÖs 2020 S/S campaign picture. Not only are the members positioned in a similar way as the models, but the cloth Sungchan wore is exactly the same as one worn by a model in the pictorial. Some said that itŌĆÖs only an hommage, but some pointed out that this is plagiarism from the fact that their clothes, retro concept, overall color and the background are all the same. Even NCTŌĆÖs fans agreed to it being plagiarism and asking SM Entertainment to take action. Here are some of the reactions: ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖre calling this plagiarism just because the overall concept is similar? No way,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Sungchan is even wearing the same cloth,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt know if this is a result of referencing or plagiarism,ŌĆØ or ŌĆ£It really feels similar, but donŌĆÖt think this should be considered plagiarism.ŌĆØ Meanwhile, NCTŌĆÖs new album RESONANCE Pt.2 will be released on November 23 at 6 p.m. KST.
