Article Award of "Meet Yourself" Won't be Withdrawn Despite "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" Plagiarism Allegation
I didn't watch Meet Yourself, I only watched Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, but I agree that it's silly to withdraw an award just because there is some talk online. I can't tell if there was plagiarism, but I came across a lot of online complaints about plagiarism when there wasn't any. I think common people take this word lightly, so if it is somehow a little similar to something else it's plagiarized, it reached the point where they would say something is plagiarized even when it's a cliché. "the constant appearance of the male lead whenever the female lead faces trouble in the village" for example is the basis of every drama/movie there is. It's idiotic to say that helping a damsel in distress can be copyrighted. Unless the "original" show files a complaint, and a committee of experts decide that something is plagiarized, they shouldn't prevent a show from getting an award they deserve.
