Yes, it's the end

Cube Entertainment has decided to halt online music service of HyunA’s song “From Where and Until When” from her recently released mini album, “A Talk.” This is in light of the controversy concerning song composer and writer BTOB Hyunsik copying lyrics from g.o.d’s song “The Reason Why Opposites Attract.” The BTOB member explained that he was simply congratulating g.o.d on their comeback, and making a tribute to a song that he had always liked. However, JYP Entertainment, home to the original song writer Park Jin Young, and Soul Shop Entertainment, g.o.d member Kim Tae Woo‘s agency, subsequently expressed their disappointment that they were not consulted beforehand or asked for permission.

On August 1, Cube Entertainment said, “We sincerely apologize for the situation with the ‘From Where and Until When’ homage from HyunA’s third mini album. Starting at 11am this morning, the song will be unavailable online.” They continued, “Even in HyunA’s later records, this song will not be included. Again, we sincerely apologize.”

wait so hyunsik btob was writer and composer, and he plagiarized the lyrics? damn. i hope the tag won't follow btob's subsequent releases, but the way knetz are, and since it concerns god....

i hope it won't hit hyuna too badly :( i've always loved her solo stuff (and group stuff, but whatever)

WHAT IS THIS CUBE DDDD:

i'm glad they have enough decency to have it removed for good..
they wouldn't have had to go through the trouble if they'd just asked for permission beforehand..
surprising to see a rookie mistake from a seasoned btob member -_-

Same. I wonder if someone advised him to add it on. He's been an aspiring composer, lifting a verse seems rather stupid.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

He also basically just ruined it for future idol composers/lyricists, I know I for one am going to be cynical in the future

Welp there goes any chance of them composing again

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

I doubt that, Cube already invested some money into their composing training... Plus Hyunsik is attending a prestigious music uni (http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2013/04/instiz-idol-group-college-acceptances.html) and it seems like a waste if he doesn't get any chance to compose. Other member of composer line aren't on his level yet, both musically and experience-wise. Hyunsik already composed three songs for BtoB before this whole scandal happend. Pretty much all of them were well-received .

He must feel awful.
Meanwhile CCM/Hyomin continue their shamelessness lol. (did they make changes and give proper credit to Zico or no?)

He must feel pretty bad :(
Everyone was quick to say that he only said it was a homage because he "got caught" but I actually believe it was aand that all of this was just a rookie mistake.

But will Cube let Hyunshik write for them ever again?

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Well its his fourth composition that got released. Star and Never Ending Melody are fanservice songs and Why is a emo ballad, all were pretty well received. I don't really think Cube will ban him or whatever from composing as he is the leading member of composer line. Probably he got super scolding but knowing his personality, it won't affect him.

something tells me that wasn't their idea to do that.

Aw :(
Sucks for him and Hyuna tbh I really liked the song but Cube is doing the right thing removing it

[thosewhoknew.livejournal.com]
