Regarding the music video for her new song, Jeon Somi apologized for allegations of tracing.
On August 9, The Black Label released an official statement regarding the allegation, saying "We heard that the animation character appearing in the music video for the title track 'Fast Forward' of Jeon Somi's EP album looked similar to that in other works."
After an internal review, the label decided to delete and modify the scene. The label wrote, "All attempts will be made to replace the scene as quickly as possible."
There was an apology and a promise to avoid a recurrence. "To avoid repeating this mistake, we will take greater care in the future," said the label.
Jeon Somi released her new EP album 'GAME PLAN' on August 7. The title song 'Fast Forward' and the music video were unveiled on the same day.
However, there was a problem with the animated character in the new song's music video. It is said to be similar to the character from 'Noisy Star Guys' drawn by Japanese manga artist Rumiko Takahishi.
The Black Label's official statement is as follows:
Hello.
This is The Black Label.
We heard that the animation character appearing in the music video for the title track 'Fast Forward' of Jeon Somi's EP ALBUM looked similar to that in other works.
All attempts will be made to replace the scene as quickly as possible.
Please accept our deepest apologies for not taking a closer look at the work as a label.
To avoid repeating this mistake, we will take greater care in the future.
Thank you.
