According to the director, he had contacted to see if his work could be used as a reference. Gabriel Moses revealed that despite his declining, Lisa’s team used his work anyway.
They reached out to my editor to work on this btw & Fein was the reference. He said nah & they did it anyway. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Korean netizens reacted to the controversy, with many criticizing Lisa and her team for not respecting Gabriel Moses’s wishes.
“How is that common? Lol, have her fans gone crazy trying to defend her? It’s stupid AF that they went ahead and copied him when the director said no. What are they doing?” “This is plagiarism. They should have gone a different art direction after being rejected.” “They really did it anyway despite being rejected? Crazy.” “Watch the actual video, it hits different than just looking at the photos.” “I wasn’t convinced by just looking at the photos, but the video says it all… It’s really different.” “The video says it all. The photos don’t seem that unique but the video will make you say something different.” “Why would you do it if he said no?” “The video says it all.” “They shouldn’t have done it if he said no, lol.”
What are your thoughts?
