TUIDE previewed 'GRLS,' a track from the group's debut mini-album 'TUNE & PLAY,' ahead of the album's August 24 release. After the preview appeared, producer Ricky Luna posted a comparison with a demo he said he had created in April 2026.
Luna, who has worked on multiple BABYMONSTER tracks, said the chorus and concept sounded similar to his demo. He wrote that this was the third time he had noticed such a situation and raised the possibility that his demos were being leaked. He shared both recordings and asked other people in the industry for their opinions.
Luna later clarified that he was not accusing TUIDE or the song's producers of plagiarism. He said his concern was whether his own demo material might have circulated without permission. That clarification materially limits how his original post should be described.
Fans also disputed the comparison. Some argued that preparations for TUIDE's debut lineup and music had been underway since 2025, before Luna said he created his demo. Others said that references to girls and a house beat were too general to prove copying. No independent evidence establishing plagiarism or a demo leak was presented in the source, so both possibilities remain unproven.
