Overseasidol.com — Pop Ice Indonesia recently launched a collaboration with idol group JKT48 for their new Candy Series flavor line.
Eight members took part in the project, including Freya, Christy, Marsha, Muthe, Fiony, Kathrina, Greesel, and Michie.
The commercial film for this campaign quickly caught attention thanks to its bright visuals and catchy jingle.
However, the advertisement soon sparked debate online. Many viewers pointed out that several scenes in the commercial look similar to those in a music video by the K-pop girl group NMIXX under JYP Entertainment.

One of the most-discussed similarities is a scene where the characters step out and then float or fly upward, which netizens claimed resembles a moment in the NMIXX MV.
The situation drew mixed reactions, with many netizens expressing disappointment and asking for clarification from Pop Ice Indonesia.
The issue gained rapid traction, and related posts on X have reached more than 1.7 million views so far, with comments continuing to pour in.
