RAIN'S ASS IN THE MV. PLOW ME HARD RAIN UNF UNF UNF SEXSHII AHJUSSHI

All-star Rain has been hit with plagiarism accusations for his digital single, ‘Busan Woman‘, which was released earlier this month on the 16th.


‘Busan Woman’ has been accused of copying the general makeup and chorus of Raphael Saadiq’s ‘Detroit Girl‘. Representatives and fans of the music industry are saying, “Only the names of the cities are different — the song title, instruments, rhythm, and melody seem to have been re-used“.


Moreover, “The introduction is such an important part of any song, yet the two tracks are ridiculously similar. The songs sound like adaptations of each other.


The two songs indeed possess a similar tempo and pitch that gets repeated all throughout. Netizens also noted how the titles and lyrics coincide and both feature the electric piano as the main instrument.


Raphael Saadiq is an American producer, singer, and songwriter who released ‘Detroit Girl’ back in 2004. Meanwhile, ‘Busan Woman’ was a
piece Rain was said to have worked on for 16 months, and was supposedly inspired by his personal life. No reference to sampling or buying the rights of another song seem apparent, only that the track had been registered as a song produced and co-written by Rain and a person who remains anonymous.


An official at Rain’s agency states, “This is the first time we’ve heard that ‘Busan Woman’ is a plagiarized song. We will perform an
inspection to check it one more time
“. One K-Pop official comments, “If one is listening to a song and is immediately reminded of another song, the embarrassment for the artist should be huge. The problem of plagiarizing songs in order to create more songs should disappear“.


However, the co-writer of ‘Busan Woman’ says, “There is no reason for me to really respond to these plagiarism accusations. I have never
heard of ‘Detroit Girl’ or even of Raphael Saadiq and am upset that we have been accused of plagiarism. The structure may be similar, but if
that permits plagiarism accusations then all songs must be plagiarized

Darius cracks me the hell up. "The Party" episode where he gave a birthday speech to Fred had me legit crying. Him, J and CeCe are my favorite characters so far.

Omo it sounds exactly the same lyrics and all. Poor rain and Mr. Kim neverheardthissongbefore.

Gotta say I like Rain's voice more than Raphael's on this track. But they are both such big names that this can't possibly turn out well.

Wow. I've hear a lot of diff. plagiarism accusations in the past but this one seems to have a lot of grounds. It sounds like the Korean cover of the first song...Rain, I am massively disappointed.

The structure of the song is exactly the same. Maybe he stole it from someone else who stole it from Raphael lol. Either way this is clearly the same song

The first 30 seconds are like... identical. But I don't hear it in the rest of the song. Was Busan Woman actually up for sale, though? I thought it was something he did for the fans. So maybe he might skate out of this if he isn't making money off of it. IDK.
