Pledis Entertainment, the powerhouse behind the highly anticipated rookie boy group TWS, has addressed and resolved the recent logo plagiarism controversy surrounding the group.

In a statement provided to media outlet Newsen, the agency revealed that they had successfully settled the allegations after a face-to-face meeting with the concerned company's representative.

"We met with the company representative in person and provided a detailed explanation of the logo creation process, and all misunderstandings were amicably resolved," stated the agency.

According to Pledis Entertainment, the TWS logo in question was independently designed by an outsourcing company collaborating with them, putting an end to the accusations of plagiarism that surfaced prior to the group's official debut.

Pre-Debut Turmoil

Before TWS, also known as the junior group to SEVENTEEN, could make their official debut, they found themselves entangled in a controversy regarding their logo.

TWM Strap, a custom watch strap brand, took to Instagram to accuse the group of copying and using a logo strikingly similar to their own, which holds trademark rights.

In response to the allegations, TWM Strap expressed frustration, stating, "This is a frustrating start to a new year...I will have to report this as trademark infringement through a lawyer tomorrow."

The brand emphasized the value and uniqueness of their logo, asserting their intention to pursue legal action.
