Jennie's new album came amid the plagiarism accusations from Bollywood fans, who claim the K-pop singer allegedly copied tunes and beats from Alia Bhatt's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani theme song for her track Like Jennie.

The allegations sparked a social media debate, with some fans defending Jennie and others calling for proper credit to be given to Pritam, the composer behind Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
