RIIZE’s “Bag Bad Back” Hit With Backlash For Sounding Similar To Another Idol Group
On May 1, RIIZE released the music video for the track “Bag Bad Back” and revealed a totally different style.
They have garnered much international attention as their reputation has grown through their signature style and aesthetics.
While many were pleasantly surprised with the new track…
- “I like that they try new things instead of copy and pasting the same stuff over and over again. The bridge sounds great.”
- “Sungchan and Shotaro really stand out in this song.”
…others felt that it sounded too similar to another group from the same label.
- “It sounds like a NCT 127 song.”
- “It’s not good because it sounds like NCT. I liked RIIZE’s own style…”
Many netizens compared RIIZE’s song to NCT 127‘s “Gas,” stating that the hook sounded the same.
NCT127 gas gas gas… Riize bag bag bag
