Which kpop groups were used for inspiriation in the Kdrama Imitation?

[Corysilk]

My opinion

Shax = Exo

Tea Party = Twice

Sparkling = BTS or Seventeen

Plus their company and CEO totally gives me jYP vibes.  Still they also remind me of gfriend since they got popular from a technical difficulty, also I see some ladies code since they had a tragedy before the debut.  Still overall they give me early Twice vibes.  I would say IOI vibes but IOI had better styling.

Well... it is originally a webtoon that first began running in 2014-ish... 

So literally none of what you mentioned.

I haven't watched Imitation yet but from those pics, 

Shax seems too look like TVXQ (5 - member era). TVXQ were known for their dark edgy music, concept and mv. E.g. - Oh Jung Ban Hup, Rising Sun, Mirotic, etc.

Tea Party looks like SES. Cute, girly, angelic, 3 members, etc.

Sparkling is probably SHINee. Bc sparkling = shiny,  get it?? hello?

I don't think the writer would be that obvious stating they're based off of certain groups. They're most likely based on various different groupsand the industry as a whole, not specifically to any group.
