"Street Basketball 2" Ad Accused of Copying "Slam Dunk"

The famous Korean online game "2 (FreeStyle2)" issued by JCE has recently released a publicity in the subway, and the painting is suspected of plagiarizing the famous Japanese comic "Slam Dunk". The advertisement is said to be very similar to a picture of Hanamichi Sakuragi and Ryota Miyagi in "Slam Dunk", whether in posture or composition. Even people in South Korea have criticized this advertisement, calling it "vulgar plagiarism at the level of copy-paste". Some people also questioned: "Since it's already a well-known game in South Korea, was it necessary to do this?" However, according to South Korean law, since the two paintings did not use the same characters or scenes, it does not constitute plagiarism or misappropriation. So far, JCE has not made any comments on this matter.
