[SBS Star] NCT 127 Fans Claim Rookie Group ATBO Copied 'Kick It' Concept & Choreography

K-pop boy group NCT's unit NCT 127's fans are claiming that May-debuted rookie boy group ATBO copied the concept and choreography of 'Kick It'. 

Recently, ATBO released concept photos for their upcoming album 'The Beginning : 始作' that is scheduled to be unveiled on October 26. 

In these photos, the members of ATBO posed in a wooden house with a large Chinese writing on the wall. 

They were all wearing a stylish outfit in a good mix of black and white, each designed slightly differently. 

This is surprisingly similar to the outfit that NCT 127 wore in the music video of 'Kick It', which was released in March 2020. 

They were posing at a place that was similar to the place where NCT 127 filmed 'Kick It' music video as well. 
Not only that, but NCT 127 fans also discovered that there are some moves in ATBO's choreography of their debut track 'Monochrome (Color)' that showed great similarities to 'Kick It' choreography. 

There is a part where NCT 127 bend their upper body and lift their legs side-to-side one by one, and similar moves are found in 'Monochrome (Color)' choreography. 

Another similar moves in 'Monochrome (Color)' are the highlight moves of 'Kick It', where the members raise both arms over their head and slowly move their legs to the beats. 
Currently, many NCT 127 fans are accusing ATBO's management agency IST Entertainment of plagiarism, and asking the agency for their feedback on the matter.
