"Trap Doll" imitates Kpop everywhere: Kpop fans point it out, Trang Phap has no way to argue?

"Be Trap" - the product marking Trang Phap's 10 years of singing, was invested in lavishly but received mixed opinions. Behind the compliments about the "transformation" is the suspicion of "plagiarism" that has stirred up the online community.

On December 19, Trang Phap officially released the album Infinity8, marking the 10-year milestone of her career. Along with that, the MV "Be Trap" received strong attention from the public thanks to its carefully invested visuals and trendy style. With the outstanding Y2K look, this U40 female singer continues to affirm her personality and modern style, completely different from the feminine and gentle image she previously pursued.

Aired for more than half a day, the MV Bé Trap received more than 175 thousand views and many comments. Young audiences welcomed the song, praising the modernity and fashion that Trang Phap pursued in music. After Chi Dep season 1, Trang Phap continuously released music, but still did not really make a breakthrough.

However, as soon as the MV Bé Trap was released, netizens were abuzz when they pointed out the similarities between Trang Phap's MV and popular products from Kpop groups such as IVE and BLACKPINK. The similarities in the design, layout, color, and even the scenes made many people wonder if the female singer "borrowed ideas" from international stars?

Right from the first scenes, the audience can easily recognize some common elements between Bé Trap and IVE's MV Heya (released in April this year). Both MVs use images of floating palanquins and fans - details that are deeply imprinted with East Asian culture, combined with a strange sci-fi setting. This has created an aesthetic connection that many people have commented is quite similar.

In addition, the scene in Trang Phap's MV is also said to be quite "similar" to BLACKPINK's style in Pink Venom, especially in the intro and color scheme. Kpop fans constantly "spot" details such as bold colors, lighting and scene arrangements, which are easily recognizable features in the music products of this famous girl group.

Under the posts related to Bé Trap, a series of mixed comments appeared. A part of Kpop fans affirmed that Trang Phap was too "brave" to take inspiration from the famous MVs of IVE and BLACKPINK, especially when her products no longer retain their own unique mark.

However, there are also many opinions defending Trang Phap, arguing that the use of diverse cultural elements is not "plagiarism" but simply a creative combination of different styles. Some people even say that this combination has helped Be Trap bring a new breeze to Vietnamese music, blowing into it a modern, individual style but also not lacking in respect for tradition.

One notable point in these comments is the sympathy for Trang Phap, especially after she shared about the difficulties in her personal life, especially her mental health condition (panic disorder). Many people think that "raising high and hitting lightly" would be a reasonable choice when facing artists who are facing challenges in life.

Up to now, Trang Phap has not given an official response to the suspicions surrounding the MV Be Trap. However, if we consider the way this female singer often shares in interviews, she always affirms that all creativity comes from inspiration, and she constantly strives to bring the audience breakthrough and unique products.
