JAKARTA - Lee Chae Yeon's agency clarified after plagiarism charges were given to them. It is known that Chae Yeon will release a solo album titled Hush Rush.
On October 8, WM Entertainment released a photo of the concept and detail of the Hush Rush album. However, many fans suspect the photo imitates the concept of the album Key SHINee, Gasoline.
The similarity of concepts ranging from similar fonts, green and purple selection, lighting to logos looks similar. Both use the classic horror theme.

Fans regret the attitude of the WM Entertainment agency, especially the concept of the Gasoline album designed by Key itself.
WM Entertainment also released a statement containing an explanation regarding Lee Chae Yeon's debut concept.
"We are very upset and sad. Hush Rush is the concept of a vampire who left their old palace after waking up from sleep for 300 years," the agency said.
They claim the use of objects and colors is inspired by the nuances of Halloween.
When we designed this album, we used the colors that are often used on Halloween events. For fonts and images, WM and outsourced companies we pay for objects because they match the mood of the album, they explained.
We would like to apologize to Lee's fans who have been looking forward to his debut for a long time. Let's continue to support Lee who will start his music journey," the agency concluded.
Lee Chae Yeon is a former member of the group IZ*ONE. He became the fourth member after Kwon Eun Bi, Jo Yu Ri, and Choi Ye Na who made her solo debut.
Lee Chae Yeon's solo album, Hush Rush will be released on October 12 physically and digitally.
