im seeing so much stuff comparing illit's debut to newjeans, and whilst i agree that yeah, the chorus of magnetic does sound very newjeans-esque, that the rest of the song does NOT, and the album as a whole sounds completely different to newjeans. i want to know if the people hating on illit have actually listened to more than the chorus of magnetic bc i cannot see any newjeans resemblance in the rest of the song and album honestly!! for me, as a newjeans stan, illit actually reminds me more of a blend of triples, stayc and fifty fifty...and can i remind you all that newjeans' concept has changed and developed a LOT since their debut album, we can't judge a band's entire concept based on one ep! in terms of the visuals and music video, honestly again they feel different. the whole school girl concept in their trailer reminded me a lot more of the fun, chaotic energy in triples's songs 'generation' and 'girls' capitalism', along with 'stereotype' by stayc rather than the seriousness and vintage feel of 'ditto'. i think we also need to remind ourselves that y2k and liquid bass and drum music is a trend and is not 'owned' by any group; we've seen this kind of music recently from almost every girl group, as it's a popular genre at the moment, and although newjeans did help popularise it, it's been around for a while (stayc have been using it since debut) and other bands are allowed to make this kind of music too.
here's a list of songs that remind me of the songs in illit's ep (that aren't newjeans songs), mainly to showcase how their concept and sound actually quite different from nj:
cherry talk by triples
fancy (cover) by stayc
#menow by fromis_9
sour grapes by le sserafim
off the record by ive
be mine by stayc
yes or no ft huh yunjin and crash by groovyroom
1 to 10 by twice
generation by triples
rush by twice
cherish by ive
perfect night by le sserafim
basics by twice
wishing on you by jihyo
vision by (g)idle
easy (drum & bass remix) by le sserafim
slow motion by jennie and matt champion
passionfruit by nmixx
girls' capitalism by triples
either way by ive
i actually went and listened to some newjeans (bc i adore them and their music) after listening to illit's ep and i honestly can't see that much similarities other than the fact that both groups are young and pretty...which is basically every new girl group these days anyway. out of all the songs 'new jeans' probably has the most similarity in my opinion, but even the vibe for that still feels different to the rest of illit's songs.
anyway, moral is, let's not accuse a group that literally debuted yesterday of copying another group! we can't judge illit's entire concept based off one ep...they're literally fresh out of the kpop debut womb, let them and their music taste grow and develop as they go! i can guarantee almost no group in kpop has had a completely consistent concept all throughout their career; trends will come in and out and change, and so will groups. let them settle in before bombarding them with accusations!
