Netizens are taken aback.
Former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin recently announced that she had founded a new entertainment agency.
Based on initial findings, people thought that the company was named OK. But later, Min took to Instagram and shared more posts about the agency, showing her seemingly trying out new logos. In particular, it appeared that the company is using the acronym OOAK, with the meaning being “Only One Always Known.”
While the announcement itself has drawn divided reactions from netizens, some have also accused Min of plagiarism regarding the company name and logo. In a viral post on Theqoo, a user posted multiple brand images of companies that use the same acronym, OOAK. For most of these organizations, however, the acronym stood for “One Of A Kind.”
The OP (original poster) also pointed out that one of the logos Min Hee Jin posted, resembling a fingerprint, appeared the same as many of the other brands’ logos.
Netizens felt that the similarities were too blatant to be coincidental, with very few people offering her the benefit of the doubt.
- “What the heck…”
- “Such an attention seeker…”
- “I mean, overlaps can happen, but since she’s someone who once made a big deal about others copying her, I thought she’d come up with something really original.”
- “Wait, didn’t they say it wasn’t that acronym?”
- “Hmm…”
- “I wonder what the people who kept going on about her sense of aesthetics and talent are going to say now.”
- “Whoa. They’re the same.”
