Jack is the same old guy, causing a Kpop idol to be mentioned, Dom Dom can't save him

After being quiet for a while, Jack's return has caused a stir among the public, especially Kpop fans. The reason for this is because his Lightstick is said to have "learned" the idea of a Korean idol.

Recently, Jack announced the release of a lightstick exclusively for the Dom Dom fandom. It is known that the Lightstick originated from Kpop and is also an item associated with Korean artists.

In idol culture, lightsticks represent an entire fan community, with their own colors and designs. They are also the best-selling and indispensable items for fans when they start their "idol chasing" journey.

In recent years, Kpop has developed rapidly, "expanding" globally and Vietnam is no exception. Catching the trend of building fandoms from Korean idols, many artists from the S-shaped strip of land have also released their own lightsticks.

Son Tung M-TP, Hoang Thuy Linh,... are typical artists and Jack is also among them. These lightsticks are often designed based on unique characteristics representing the artist and their fan community.

As for Jack, the male singer chose yellow as the main color. The lightstick has a simple design with a black body and a spherical light. Inside, the letter J is stylized to create a highlight. However, the lightstick model of the singer from Ben Tre was pointed out to have many similarities with the light stick that Taeyang ( BIGBANG) had just released not long ago.

Because Taeyang's version also has a yellow color, designed with the sun symbol. Jack not only copied the color, black body design, yellow lights but also the lightstick sales poster was almost copied from BIGBANG member.

Looking at the two images, many people were confused because they were so similar. "No wonder they look so familiar", "Maybe great ideas come together", "How can someone copy an idea and post it publicly like that?"... netizens expressed.

In addition, the J symbol embedded in Jack's lightstick was also accused of resembling former DBSK member Kim Jaejoong. Some people even said that it was almost identical to a logo on a Chinese design platform.

In response to the above comments, a social media user expressed: "Designers should not just pick up a little bit from everywhere and make a lightstick, there is no creativity and uniqueness". However, there are also opposing opinions that in order to create a lightstick model, one must also buy the copyright of the design, so using an available sample product is "no problem".

Putting aside the plagiarism issue, Jack selling lightsticks for 997 thousand VND/piece immediately caused controversy on forums and social networks. Many people think that the price to buy a lightstick is too high. Moreover, the majority of the male singer's fans are students with unstable incomes. Therefore, with such an "astronomical" price, it is very difficult to sell a large quantity.

But on the contrary, many people think that 997 thousand VND is a common number for artist-related items, especially lightsticks. The lightsticks of today's top Kpop groups such as: BLACKPINK, BTS, SEVENTEEN, aespa,... all have listed prices ranging from 800 thousand to 1.5 million VND. Not to mention, Kpop stars also release many versions, causing prices to increase.

In Vietnam, Son Tung's lightstick costs 1.1 million VND, Hoang Thuy Linh's is 799 thousand. Therefore, the price of Jack's lightstick is not too different from the majority. What makes the singer from Ben Tre controversial is his rock-bottom reputation.

After the love s.candal, Jack's image became irreparable in the eyes of fans. Next, the male singer lost even more points when he used Messi's image in his MV and got into a plagiarism s.candal.

On social media, Jack and the Dom Dom fandom were also turned into "memes" by netizens with many humorous, mostly satirical contents. Therefore, when he released a lightstick with signs of plagiarism, it made the Kpop fan community even more upset.
