Japanese netizens are currently in an uproar over former Girls’ Generation (Shoujo Jidai) member Jessica Jung. Evidence has come out that Jessica and her company may have plagiarized a Japanese fashion company, also titled ‘BLANC’. However, the plagiarizing wasn’t just in the name, but the entire website layout and logo design looks similar.
The other day Jessica’s company changed the brand’s name from “BLANC” to “BLANC & ECLARE”, probably due to news of the Japanese brand with the same name.

“Eeeeh, they look completely different”
I want to hear the opinion of someone who thinks that. LOL
They’re the exact same HAHAHA
Korea does nothing but plagiarize
North Korea and South Korea
They’re both bad….
Even if they have the same name, then they should have had something else be their main item of merchandise. If she really wanted to sell sunglasses, then shouldn’t she have looked and found out if there was already a brand with the same name?
There are countless brand names and logos that they could have come up with.
I don’t know if they copied this intentionally or not.
This doesn’t mean that Jessica did this solely by herself, I can’t imagine that Jessica and all of her staff sat down and said, “Yeah, let’s rip off this entire brand”.
As long as you say that or worse and show your prejudice toward Japan you can then copy any Japanese thing that you want and use it as your own
