The initial complaints happened a few months ago.
Koreaboo
TXT‘s Yeonjun is currently preparing to release his first solo album NO LABELS: PART 01.
The idol has begun the rollout for his release, including clever advertising and hints to fans about what is to come, such as one perceived as “shade” towards another HYBE idol.
For the release of his mixtape, Yeonjun had a physical version of the album that featured a keychain version of himself blowing a gum bubble.
Months later, ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon attracted attention with a new piece of merch from their artist-made collection, which many found to resemble Yeonjun’s.
The ENHYPEN member faced plagiarism accusations, as fans of both groups expressed frustration over the situation.
Ahead of his album release, Yeonjun teased the release of another keychain album during a live stream, calling it “my product.”

Some have interpreted this as “shade” over the situation, with fans specifically mentioning a “copycat.” A lyric in his upcoming track, “Do It,” is also believed to be referencing the situation.

While the debate may continue on both sides, it is clear fans will often speak up to defend their idol.
