Reviewing dupes question

In my review, can I use the brand name of the product being duped, or that a big no-no? My Vine product is a Chinese product that is obviously a dupe of a popular Korean product. The listing photos and description as well as the packaging are all extremely similar, and the list of ingredients is identical and in identical order. But yes, it says Made in China instead of Made in Korea like the original. Should I just say it appears to be a dupe of a popular Korean product and leave it at that, or can I mention the product and brand? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thanks for all the helpful answers. I really appreciate it! The product isn't calling itself the name brand or claiming to be Korean, the packaging and listing just echoes the name brand listing and packaging, and makes it easy to tell that's the product theirs is immitating. But now I know just what to do review-wise. Thanks again, everyone!

Stuart Zender and recording artist Peter Cunnah learn they are half-brothers

This artice is several months old. My apologies if it has been posted before, but I searched and did not see it.

D:Ream member Peter Cunnah has learned his father is Patrick Hanna, who is Stuart's father. It seems their father, Patrick Hanna, fathered a child when he was 19. The mother did not inform Hanna of the pregnancy and put their baby up for adoption. The baby boy was adopted by an Irish family named Cunnah. After his adoptive father passed away, Peter Cunnah searched (somewhat recently) for his biological father and found his father is Patrick Hanna, meaning Stu and Peter Cunnah are half brothers. They have met at least once and the BBC article below includes a photo of the two of them together.
