HYBE Girl Group Embroiled In Plagiarism Row After BABYMONSTER Producer Flags Similarities

Netizens are convinced that it was intentional. 9 minutes ago HYBE is facing major backlash online over the latest release by their new girl group, TUIDE. TUIDE | @tuide_abd/Instagram TUIDE recently teased their debut with a music video and performance of “GRLS,” a track from their upcoming mini album TUNE & PLAY, set to be released on August 24, KST. After the release, a producer named Ricky Luna, who has worked with BABYMONSTER on multiple tracks, posted an Instagram story, raising doubts about how “Meet My GRLS” was sonically and conceptually similar to a demo he had created back in April. This is the third time this has happened. I made this demo in April 2026, and a song released today sounds very similar in the chorus and concept. I don’t know if it’s coincidence, but I’m starting to think my demos may be getting leaked. I’m sharing both so you can listen and tell me what you think. — Ricky Luna The story quickly went viral, with netizens accusing HYBE of ripping off producers.
