JYP takes actions towards Khmer “Nobody”

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

It was announced today that JYP is finally taking action on copycats of 08’s hit “Nobody”. He had been closing an eye to “parodies” around Asia but with an official recording of the song in Khmer girl group RHM’s “Vol. 376″ - topped off with MV incorporating both “Tell Me” and “Nobody” choreography no less. JYP had created a protest against the band.

Representatives of the Wonder Girls outside of South Korea, Sony BMG, will be in charge of investigations and court case procedures if there’s the need for them. JYP reiterated his decision on March 12th, of putting his foot down due to the Wonder Girls’ recent expansion overseas and the fear that copycats will affect future activities in Asia

Tragic....

Never gonna be this

I think I went both deaf and blind watching that terrible rip-off.

I hope JYP tears them to shreds. =___=

Sounds better in Korean.

Also lmao at "Nobody burrt you" or whatever it sounds like they're saying. It hurts my ears either way.

[itzbets.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder if areas of the world think no one is watching.

THATS WHAT I FEEL THE WHOLE ASIAN CONTINENT DOES

[itzbets.livejournal.com]

Particularly I feel this way about China. It's like "Oh no you are not practically a Global Super Power, we don't look at anything you do. Go about your business then."

[spidersky.livejournal.com]

Huh, it's weird that he would complain about someone copying Nobody when the entire music video is a Dreamgirls rip-off. :P

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

Shhh.

We're not supposed to apply logic to boybands/girlbands, silly.

[chrismakkuh.livejournal.com]

I never thought of it as a rip off.

That's more, paying homage to that style.

The Cambodian on is a clear rip off because it takes all lyrics and dance steps from the original and passing it off as theirs.

JYP does have the rights to the song and video.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

And dream girls is a rip off of the supremes.

[chrismakkuh.livejournal.com]

Dream Girls is more the "biography" of the Supremes. There's lots of speculation that's based alot on the inner workings of the Supremes.

oh my lord
my ears
bleeding.

[f-i-x-m-e.livejournal.com]

Uhhhm what did I just watch? D8
They sound like dying cats.

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

well that was dumb. you never blatantly rip off something as popular as "nobody" and "tell me". it's bound to be noticed. :/

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

that was..well bad.

[novemberdelight.livejournal.com]

YOUR ICON, MY REACTION.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

LOL their version was like a parody gone wrong.

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]
