Jung from Thai boy group PERSES faced accusations of copying promotional content from TXT's Yeonjun for his solo track Fly, leading to a tearful apology and fan criticism aimed at his agency.
A teaser for the July 22 2026 release sparked comparisons to Yeonjun's October 2025 merch posts and sequences from his Coma video in NO LABELS: Part 01. The agency GNEST later confirmed in a statement that it had removed some images after complaints but denied any intentional plagiarism.
Jung addressed fans in an Instagram live and a follow-up statement, taking full responsibility and apologizing directly to Yeonjun and MOA. He clarified that he respects the work of artists across the industry.
Fans of both groups directed most anger toward the agency rather than Jung, with many calling out GNEST for not catching the similarities sooner and for having the idol handle the fallout alone.
