Jack's lightstick is controversial for plagiarism because he picked up a little bit from different places.

Jack launched his controversial first design

After a period of absence, Jack continues to attract the attention of the online community when he launched a lightstick for fans.

Many opinions about plagiarism

After more than 4 years of working in the arts, Jack has officially released his own lightstick, marking an important milestone in his career.

His lightstick has a simple design, consisting of a black cylindrical body and a sphere on top. The main colors are black and gold. The highlight of the stick is the uniquely designed letter J inside.

However, after being published, the post received a lot of discussion that the male singer's lightstick has a similar design to Korean singer Kim Jaejoong.

The accusation of plagiarism does not stop at the design of the stick, the online community also pointed out the similarity in the poster interface, including black background, white text and layout.

Viewers commented: "No wonder it looks so familiar", "Maybe great minds think alike", "How could someone plagiarize an idea and post it publicly like that?"... when placed next to the lightstick released not long ago by male singer Taeyang (BIGBANG).

The biggest highlight of the stick is the meticulously designed letter J inside, which also has a design that is almost identical to a logo on a Chinese design platform.

In response to the controversy, a social media user expressed: "Designers should not just pick up a few from everywhere and make them into lightsticks. There is no creativity or uniqueness."

However, there are opposing opinions that in order to create a lightstick model, one must also purchase the copyright of the design, so using an existing sample product is "no problem".

Son Tung M-TP and G-Friend have also been accused of plagiarism.

There have been many cases where stars and music groups have been criticized for copying lightstick designs.

Korean girl group G-Friend received controversy when they announced their Glass Marble lightstick, which looked similar to BTS's Army Bombs, leading to outrage from Kpop fans regarding the group's activities.

Similarly, singer Son Tung M-TP was also pointed out for his lightstick design that resembles the logo of a weather forecasting app, consisting of a cloud and a sun intertwined. However, most internet users expressed their love for it, with comments like “so pretty!”, “so cute”, “wish I had money to buy it”…
