TWS accused of copying BIGBANG's GD & TOP
On July 15, TWS released the performance video for their latest song Double Take. The song immediately sparked criticism and netizens accused the group of plagiarizing BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and T.O.P’s (GD & TOP) Knock Out, which was released in 2010.
According to many netizens, the sound and melody of Double Take are ‘blatantly copied’’ from Knock Out. Some pointed out that the beat, lyrics, and overall vibe of the TWS song also bear a striking resemblance to the 2010 hit track.
Additionally, BIGBANG fans presented Double Take’s performance video and Knock Out’s music video side by side for comparison. In response, many netizens commented how the concept of the two videos is exactly the same, leading to further plagiarism accusations against TWS.
However, at the same time, BIGBANG fans urged others not to criticize the group as they might not even have a say in it. They hold their agency HYBE responsible for these alleged plagiarism accusations.
Till now, the company has yet to address the matter.
