Yoon Chun-ho's official statement regarding Yoon Eun-hye's plagiarism

Designer Yoon Chun-ho released an official statement aboutYoon Eun-hye's plagiarism.

Yoon Chun-ho posted on his Facebook, "I've received news thatYoon Eun-hye's outfit in the Chinese TV show "Goddess Fashion" is similar to my design from the Arche Collection. I checked it out and it was almost the same".

"The design was made byYoon Eun-hyewho was sponsored by Arche from the first season of 2014 SS to 2015 SS and Noh Gwang-won who was sponsored twice as promotional ambassador on the 20th and 24th of August so I am sure".

He agrees withYoon Eun-hyewho stated that the design was alike with his in terms of the arms and white color but said, "The fact that the item is a coat, the oversize, the volume, the location of the frills and pattern on the shoulder is too similar to call this is coincidence".

"She claims to have gotten the design idea from a foreign collection but the item she's talking about it different from the item that's causing this issue. It's much more likely to me an Arche design. I don't think the issue should be blurred with the example of other designs that have frills and I think there's a need to compare the two items at hand".

Yoon Chun-ho continued, "Designing is done by people and sometimes people think alike and subconsciously design what they've seen before, but not like this. I wanted to hear an official apology and wanted to hear an excuse. I haven't changed my mind yet".

"Arche is going through official promotions through a promotional agency and there's no reason forYoon Eun-hyeto get marketing under her name through noise marketing. There's no profit whatsoever for Arche by this and I deny the rumors that Arche is trying to get attention through noise marketing".

Meanwhile, this battle for the truth occurred whenYoon Eun-hyeappeared on Chinese TV wearing a filly outfit that is similar to the one designed by Yoon Chun-ho.

Yoon Eun-hye's management claimed that an idea had come toYoon Eun-hyewhile thinking about a design that resembles a tiger and added frills to the arms after getting the idea from a design with feathers. It said, "There's no reason to plagiarize Yoon Chun-ho's design and we never did".

The management added, "We also wonder why news about this wasn't alerted to the management or the stylist. We are sorry to see that uncertain matters were posted widely on SNS first. We hope the designer doesn't useYoon Eun-hye's name to promote his brand".
