Crayon Pop responded to accusations of plagiarism. Recently, the group's new concept and outfits ignited plagiarism controversy, once again.

On November 24, Crayon Pop's agency Chrome Entertainment released the statement saying, "Since Christmas tree has some symbolic images, any Christmas tree outfits would have such symbolic images. Crayon Pop had gone through hardships and they are just starting to receive many people's love and support now. We have no reason to conduct buzz marketing to harm Crayon Pop's image."

On the same day, Crayon Pop has ignited plagiarism controversy as some netizens claimed that the group's upcoming Christmas outfit concept looked similar to Momoiro Clover Z's outfit.

Previously, Crayon Pop had come under fire for copying Momoiro Clover Z's tracksuit fashion and helmet wearing concept.

Netizens commented, "Christmas tree outfits are pretty common worldwide", "What a coincidence", "Crayon Pop is copying once again?", "It seems like they will become another Momoiro Clover Z", and more.
