Big Bang GDragon gets slammed with another round of plagiarism accusations.

After all the stir caused by plagiarism accusations for his upcoming solo album title song ‘HeartBreaker’, GDragon’s ‘HeartBreaker’ album cover has also become the subject of the plagiarism talks.

The 30s preview to the title song ‘Heartbreaker’ was released on 11th August through GDragon’s me2day account, and he was accused of plagiarising Flo Rida’s ‘Right Round’ for that song. YG Entertainment also came out to speak about the plagiarism accusations.

There were also subsequent accusations of plagiarisms for the song ‘Heartbreaker’ relating to Oasis’s ‘She’s Electric’. And the song ‘Boy’ was also accused to have plagiarised that of Katharine Mcphee’s ‘Not ur girl’.

Type



With that fresh accusations of plagiarism arose that GDragon’s album cover looks too similar to English band Spiritualized’s 2001 album ‘Let it come down’ jacket. Also there was also debates about how GDragon’s concept for his album jacket looks similar to the concept of Lee JunKi’s ‘JStyle’ album photoshoot.

Earlier, GDragon has also been criticised for the top he worn on to 2NE1TV showing the picture of a naked woman.



Netizens’ responses to these are:

* “Isn’t this like exaggerating on GDragon’s capabilities?”
* ku*****, “If there are no problems, there are always accusations for plagiarism when such albums come out”
* dr*****, “I always thought that he is a genius, but with all these accusations, I have my doubts about it”
* nu*****, “This is not something illegal. Isn’t all these accusations too much for a young singer like him who has so much potential?”

jfc.

idgi that accusation regarding his album cover.

the concept for his album jacket, however, looks more like it was inspired by Death Note rather than Lee JunGi.

[lennoxs.livejournal.com]

goodness, just leave the boy alone. :(

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Yes because Spiritualized and Junki were the first to do what they did, it was NEVER done before them EVAR!!!

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

lol ikr. Junki's album concept isn't exactly original

[koats.livejournal.com]

This is getting kind of pathetic now. :/

[baeraki.livejournal.com]

i bet that if the "Heartbreaker" teaser never came out, none of this would be happening.
a lot of people seem to be taking advantage of that incident.

they're just nitpicking for stuff at this point.

[gabbeeee.livejournal.com]

I agree. I heard a similarity in the whole Heartbreaker, Flo Rida thing but now the accusations are just getting ridiculous.

[miximel.livejournal.com]

seriously, korea. people can't have something with even one similarity or they're ~plagiarizing~ :/ wtf

[prettyodd-sarah.livejournal.com]

Ergh, people should just fuck off.
Digusting.
Ji doesnt need this shit before he debuts.

[telrunyaaa.livejournal.com]

BITCH PLEASE!

Gd is a legend when it comes to his self-made music.

[jongsica.livejournal.com]

the accusations are getting boring
but i'm amazed that they have so much free time to do some ~researching~

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

Dear Korean netizens, stop misusing the word "plagiarism". Similar concept or idea =/= plagiarism. However, if the exact wording/image is blatantly copied, then that's plagiarism. KTHXBAI.

[1-liesje-1.livejournal.com]

your icon is exactly what i had in mind doing to them ;)

[rock-n-mel.livejournal.com]

WTF

[dalpaengi.livejournal.com]

XDDDD

[bunii.livejournal.com]

lol this is so funny. He should just delay the album and let this all blow over for now.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

This is getting ridiculous. Dear netizens, please lay off the keyboard!

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

this whole G dragon is a genius thing is really bothering me lol. I think all these accusations are good for him. His album sales will be outrageous since everyone wants to hear what the hype is about.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

also the theme/colors remind me more of kanye west 808s & heartbreaks. Instead of a heart, GD uses an apple

[1-liesje-1.livejournal.com]

This is getting behind retarted!
I'm feeling really sorry for him!
it kinda killed my excitement about the album :(
I hope GD is staying strong through all of this

if GD plagiarized some songs for his solo album as much people think
then i think that there will be also be an negative side on Big Bang aswell..
If GD goes down whole Big Bang goes down ... :'(

lol i think they're getting way too carried away with this, but, while it is a little ridiculous, it does kind of underline the fact that he could benefit from being a little more original. :3

[edgirl-12.livejournal.com]

I'm so bored of this shit.

[very86.livejournal.com]

ABSURD =\
All this story are so fucking ridiculous >_<'

I think that after the 'Heartbreaker'-fact every pretext is good for accuse Ji or YGEnt. of plagiarism and similar.

everything it's sad folks _-_
