KFC China has been accused of plagiarizing BLACKPINK’s music video for ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’

AllKpop reports that KFC China’s latest advert has been accused of plagiarizing a music video by Kpop group BLACKPINK.

The fried chicken joint’s advert promotes their new product Queen Mojito of KFC China, which was launched on 1 July.

In the

One YouTube commenter even broke down the KFC advert, citing timestamps that drew likeness to the Kpop group’s MV.
