As televised on SBS “8News” today, police has remitted composer Bahnus for further prosecution in regards to Lee Hyori’s plagiarism controversy. It has been confirmed through investigation results that in the beginning of this year when Lee Hyori was looking for songs from her upcoming fourth album, Bahnus used American and Canadian artists’ songs for his own. The composer had received 29,000,000 won for the songs, but is now charged for scamming and business disruption.
Although Lee Hyori’s plagiarism controversy damages have reached legal grounds, the singer feels that she has not been able to totally free herself from ethic responsibility, especially since she took part in the album production herself.

Date: 2010-07-21 05:38 pm (UTC)As [Hyori] had suffered from a plagiarism sandal when she released her second album, she said, “To find out whether there are similar songs to my final choices, I checked thoroughly through an iPhone application (Sound Hound) that can search music.”

Date: 2010-07-21 05:31 pm (UTC)Its her job, and an whole album in her career will always have this controversy attached to it. So many people dislike her now :-/
However she will eventually move on. Everyone does.
I'm sure she'll make another comeback down the line and it will all be good.
She just needs to be more careful and these people in kpop need to do background checks on everything when producing an album because plagiarism seems really huge in kpop.
And since this happened maybe more artists will be aware of whose working on their albums with them and be more careful and such.

Date: 2010-07-21 05:44 pm (UTC)But in all seriousness, as much as I love Hyori I have absolutely no pity for her. If a couple of kids could find the original songs after surfing the web for a day or two, then how the hell couldn't they (mnet / hyori) find them? I mean Bahnus didn't even bother to change the song title...

Date: 2010-07-21 05:50 pm (UTC)It's quite an unfortunate situation she's placed herself in, because she trusted these people to distribute these songs and yet has to suffer the repercussions of this particular issue. I don't think she should be to blame because, while she could/should have researched where the songs came from before making the album a-go, this was the responsibility of Bahnus for claiming such songs in the first place and knowingly too.
It's good that she's taking moral responsibility though, still it makes me feel horrible for her because she has to suffer the backlash of this supposed comeback album. I want her to return so bad, fiercer and refreshed from all of this.
STAY STRONG, GIRL!

Date: 2010-07-21 06:17 pm (UTC)It took Knetizens less than a day to find something wrong after the song was leaked...
After all the plagiarism accusations in the industry you hope someone in the company would be diligently checking the songs... an iPhone app is not enough.

Date: 2010-07-21 06:26 pm (UTC)You mean check the song before you release them?
But as for your point, I ttly agree. If it's to do with art form, whether it be music, choreography, visuals, concepts etc., plagiarism is ALWAYS relevant. Cheapness is no excuse really, imo.
