Girl group formerly known as NewJeans recently announced their name change. They are now to be known as NJZ. Along with their new name, the girls also released a couple of teaser photos for their upcoming performance in Hongkong, Complex Con!
The girls showed off a mature and unique style. They also featured what seems to be their new logo.
The logo was fashioned out of a graphic mimicing scratched and textured metal.
They also featured chromatic metal elements.
Some netizens immediately began to accuse the girls of plagiarizing aespa.
- It reminds me of aespa.
- I’m reminded of aespa.
aespa is known for their unique metallic logo and chrome graphics.
Other netizens quickly jumped to the girls’ defense.
- I’m cheering you guys on, babies! LOL, but just what about it reminds you of aespa? Just how do you guys view anything that seems a little bit grunge and metallic?
- Just what about it is like aespa? Remove your aespa-tinted lens.
- Seems like a knock-off of aespa.
- Oh, it looks good though?
- The logo doesn’t look too good. The kids are pretty and stylish.
- I understand that it seems a little grunge and metallic in style, but I don’t know about it being reminscient of aespa…
