On March 9th, SECRET’s Sunhwa and Song Ji Eun guested on MBC’s “Radio Star” and addressed accusations claiming that “Madonna” was a carbon copy of “Magic“.
The girls performed “Magic” and “Madonna” in a hit track battle against SISTAR. Afterwards, they were asked by the MCs,“Aren’t they both the same song? Even the choreography is the same. What exactly is different about them?”
Sunhwa explained, “Both songs are the works of the same composer. The choreography is also the same.” When asked by MC Kim Gura about whether she was embarrassed at all by the similarities, Sunhwa replied, “Not at all. We thought of it as our own unique color, so we were very proud.”
The talk of ’self plagiarism’ then shifted attention over to MC Super Junior’s Kim Heechul. The idol MC was asked about the similarities between “Sorry Sorry” and “Bonamana,” to which he confessed, “Both tracks were composed by Yoo Young Jin. ’Sorry Sorry’ was #1 on the Taiwanese charts for 38 weeks in a row, so ‘Bonamana’ was like an extension of ‘Sorry Sorry.’”
Since MC Yoon Jong Shin is also a composer, he was asked to share his thoughts on the issue. “It’s their own song so it shouldn’t be a problem. I do think that they consciously composed it like that since the previous track had done so well.”

Date: 2011-03-15 01:51 pm (UTC)They're saying the type of music and dance that both are is how they perceive their group style to be. Both songs have unique and hard choreography which secret seems to be good at. The gold tinge in both songs is another element that they adopted as a part of their style.
Don't mean to sound pressed, but that's just how i interpreted their statement.lol

Date: 2011-03-15 12:53 pm (UTC)With Magic & Madonna, I like both. I like the choreo of both too, but I probably like the concept/style of Madonna more.
But lol, why is this whole self-plagiarism still relevant? xD

Date: 2011-03-15 01:46 pm (UTC)At least this issue was addressed now since everyone (like here in omona) seems to get bothered by it before.

Date: 2011-03-15 01:48 pm (UTC)and I think I'm like the only one who prefers bonamana to sorry sorry. I liked the chorus of sorry sorry, but everything else was just blah for me.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-15 07:13 pm (UTC)but I think for both songs they have good hooks, choruses and fairly decenet bridges, but the verses are so blah.
