Taiwanese girl group ‘Super 7’ rips off SNSD’s “Hoot”

Taiwanese girl group Super 7 who have recently rose to fame for allegedly copycatting South Korea’s favourite, SNSD, is now criticised for performing a SNSD song at the prestigious Golden Bell Award in Taiwan.

In a recording of their live performance, it can be seen that the group performed a cover of SNSD’s “Hoot,” clad in the same outfits and following the same exact choreography as the Korean girl group, but it is not the best imitation.

After seeing the video, netizens have questioned the real motive behind Super 7’s cover performance at such an important stage.

The Super 7 performance was highly criticised not only for its lacklustre show and the fact that the group is only dancing to another group’s song. Some even stated that the group is unworthy of being onstage for such an important event.

A lot of netizens, including Taiwanese fans, voiced their disapproval, “This is a Taiwanese awards show, not a show in Korea.”

Others said, “The fact that they couldn’t perform to their own song means they’re not ready to be a true artist.”

“Why did you even debut?” they added.

Super 7 have been at the centre of controversy since their debut for having strikingly similar concepts and looks as SNSD. Their title track, “Mai Luo Suo,” have also been under fire for featuring very similar costumes and overall concepts to that of SNSD’s “Hoot.”

Golden Bell Awards is an annual Taiwanese TV show award found in 1965 and sponsored by the Taiwanese government. It is one of the most prestigious awards in Taiwan, often called Taiwan’s equivalent to the Emmy Awards.
