YouTuber A, who raised suspicions that the group's ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans's choreography, was sentenced to pay 15 million won to the HYBE.

According to the legal community on the 7th, the 9th Civil Division (judge Choi Eun-joo) of the Seoul Western District Court ruled in favor of the HYBE in February, saying, "A posted each video without properly grasping the authenticity."

In April 2024, after a management dispute between Lee HYBE and former ADOR representative Min Hee-jin, A posted a video criticizing the HYBE 31 times in six months on his YouTube channel.

It also includes claims that a ILLIT belonging to the HYBE label Billifrap plagiarized NewJeans's choreography, and the HYBE filed a lawsuit for damages against A in December 2024.

However, only 15 million won was recognized as compensation, not 300 million won requested by HYBE.
