These Bangladeshi singers have an MV that look suspiciously similar to BTS RM’s

We’re not starting a cult but some followers on Instagram would be nice. Thank you.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery.

But fans of K-pop group BTS doesn’t seem to think that way.

On Feb. 11, a BTS fan claimed that the music video concept for a Bangladeshi single titled Harai Bohudur by singers Tahsan Khan and Shushmita Anis “fully copied” BTS member RM’s Wild Flower.

The music video for Wild Flower was uploaded in December 2022, while Harai Bohudur was recently uploaded in February 2023.

Here are some choice screenshots:

Suffice to say, ARMYs (what BTS fans are called) didn’t take too kindly to the music video’s likeness.

This is literally plagiarism. Now we have to do what we have to do. All of you please post these hashtags more. We need to get it trending and also get noticed by Hybe.#WildFlowerhasbeencopied#WildFlowerMVcopiedbyTahsanKhan#GivecredittoWildFlower pic.twitter.com/dJt0CZKq4B

WTF, inspired!man you just copy the whole videography & there is huge different between copy & inspired. You don’t even write the song name correctly. It’s "wild flower" not "wildfire".

They also left comments on the music video, demanding the artistes to give credit where credit is due.

Added credits but…

After receiving thousands of comments, the YouTube channel limited the comment section and added a line to the description: “**Concept inspiration from RM Wildflower BTS**”

This angered the fans further as the channel got the song title wrong.

(It’s Wild Flower, by the way, and not Wildfire.)

Even though they tried to give credit,I don't feel good about it.They wrote inspired from RM's Wild Flower after seeing everyone's comments,which means they didn't want to give credit.Moreover this is not a proper way of providing credits. + #WildFlowerhasbeencopied #WildFlower pic.twitter.com/3efzGQOLis

Eventually, the channel made the video private:

Production house apologises

A newly edited video was later uploaded on Feb. 15, with similar scenes removed.

Its description said that the artistes involved had no knowledge or involvement in the video production, adding that the production house, Flybot Studio, are taking “full responsibility” for it.

“They apologised of (sic) their choice of shots that offended certain group of fans. For this reason, the video has been re-edited and re-uploaded.”
