Japanese Netizens Respond To Jessica's Alleged Plagiarism Of "Blanc"


thot

Japanese netizens are currently in an uproar over former Girls’ Generation (Shoujo Jidai) memberJessica Jung. Evidence has come out that Jessica and her company may have plagiarized a Japanese fashion company, also titled ‘BLANC’. However, the plagiarizing wasn’t just in the name, but the entire website layout and logo design looks similar.

 

The other day Jessica’s company changed the brand’s name from “BLANC†to “BLANC & ECLAREâ€, probably due to news of the Japanese brand with the same name.

I wonder if this is the real reason she left the group?

It’s like they’re the same brand, or maybe I should just say they’re identical…

It’s not the merchandise, but the shop’s name that she’s copying, right?

When they decided on the brand name, didn’t they check to see if there was one already out there?

How foolish.
Even if they have the same name, then they should have had something else be their main item of merchandise. If she really wanted to sell sunglasses, then shouldn’t she have looked and found out if there was already a brand with the same name?

I can see that these things always happen, but how could they go as far as to copy the entire thing?
There are countless brand names and logos that they could have come up with.
I don’t know if they copied this intentionally or not.
This doesn’t mean that Jessica did this solely by herself, I can’t imagine that Jessica and all of her staff sat down and said, “Yeah, let’s rip off this entire brandâ€.

As long as you say that or worse and show your prejudice toward Japan you can then copy any Japanese thing that you want and use it as your own

meh of course netizens will take this opportunity to insult Korea as a whole then focus on Jessica....

 

meanwhile i bet if the same happened vice versa Korean netizens would be just as equally "classy" in their response to Japan.

She should've done her homework first if that was unintentional.

well i don't think it was unintantional. i mean i can buy that they didn't know this brand if it just a name. but really. layout, designs and even damn two dots in name, just in different places lol.

The typography looks similar and the two dots lol but I've not compared the websites or designs of the glasses so I don't have an opinion on that.

 

I wonder though if she knew about this Blanc company from Japan. Sometimes when you start a company you hire logo designers to come up with something and it could be that whoever they hired did a shitty job.

i'm starting to think it's just her name in it and that she had absolutely no part in designing this stuff

They hire graphic and website designers to come up with logos and website layouts. So that is not something she is likely to decide.
