He Qiushi says sorry for plagiarising Silence Wang's concert
5 Jun - Chinese social media influencer He Qiushi has recently released a statement of apology, after being accused of plagiarising Silence Wang's concert concept during his show in Chengdu.
The Douyin creator has been accused of copying the Chinese singer's stage look including his pink tartan pattern outfit complete with bunny ears, his custom microphone, stage elements, as well as the interactive sessions with fans.
The similarities between the two sparked a backlash among fans, who slammed Qiushi's team for having no originality.
In response to the issue, on 2 June, Qiushi's studio issued a statement to apologise to Silence
Wang and his team, explaining that due to time constraints, they coordinated with multiple teams and He's show was conducted entirely in accordance with the plan provided by a third party without them checking it properly.
On 3 June, Qiushi released his own apology, writing, "This is my first time holding a concert. Due to my lack of experience, I didn't personally control many details and arrangements of the concert. This was my negligence. I was also naive, immature and unprofessional, which caused harm to everyone. I would like to sincerely apologise to everyone here. I'm sorry."
