Overseasidol.com — A controversy over alleged similarities in concert design has drawn widespread attention after the organizer of Tan Jianci’s concert issued an official statement on April 24.
Through SAYAT International Culture, the team confirmed that an investigation is underway to examine potential copyright infringement.
The organizers stated that they are collaborating with intellectual property experts and legal professionals to conduct a thorough assessment of the situation.
This comes after online discussions comparing Tan Jianci’s “Duo Jian Yi Ci” concert with the tour concert of Hou Minghao.
The controversy began when fans pointed out similarities in stage design and promotional materials between the two events.
Specific elements highlighted include an inverted trapezoid stage structure, extended runway design, and promotional concepts such as countdown-based song guessing interactions and emoji-style visual layouts.
Fans have reportedly compiled multiple pieces of evidence, arguing that the similarities go beyond coincidence and may indicate systematic replication of original creative ideas.
Meanwhile, the organizers of Hou Minghao’s concert have responded by asserting that all concepts were independently developed and are fully original.
They denied any allegations of copying or infringement.
Adding to the complexity, both concerts were reportedly handled by the same event organizer, Youling Culture, which has further fueled speculation among fans and observers.
