Male group MR.MR has recently released a song entitled 'Mr.Mr,' which obviously matched the group's name but has also matched Girls' Generation's newest title track, getting fans' attention.
With regards to this connection to Girls' Generation, a MR.MR representative said to Asia Economy on March 3, "The portion of netizens pointing out that MR.MR's 'Mr.Mr' was dissing Girls' Generation, who made a comeback with a song of the same name, is correct."
MR.MR is the first idol group to release a song which criticizes like this and also to admit that it is indeed a dis song. 'Mr.Mr' has been released on February 28 and included lyrics like, "How could you do that when I'm right here? / Girl, you come out so easily from behind the curtain / Not me, but another mistake, Mr.Mr / I bet you're amused by my embarrassment," and, "I become faint for a main like you / Am I loser and are you a winner? / We're going the same path / I must have looked small from your high perch / Is that why you did that to me?"
This song made many a lot of people suspicious about whether the boys were addressing Girls' Generation in the lyrics.
MR.MR's representative stated, "Isn't it a violation of ethics in the music industry to openly use an existing group's name for content in a song? We deliberately put in that topic and the lyric's 'disses.'"
