Crayon Pop is once again accused of plagiarism.

Crayon Pop’s Christmas carol song “Lonely Christmas (Kkuriseumaseu)” is under speculation for plagiarizing a theme song of Japanese animation ‘Lupin III’, as two songs’ intro part sound similar.

This is not the first time for Crayon Pop being accused of plagiarism. Previously, controversy had popped up that the group copied the concept for ‘Bar Bar Bar’ from Japanese girl group Momoiro Clover Z.

Some claim that Crayon Pop also copied the outfit concept for ‘Lonely Christmas’, as their Christmas tree outfits are similar to the outfit that one of Momoiro Clover Z members showed before.

Crayon Pop’s agency Chrome Entertainment stated, “We are checking this by contacting the composer. We didn’t know it at all.”
