SM Entertainment clarifies that the “leaked demo” is not SNSD’s new single

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

Due to the intense interest surrounding a supposed “leaked demo” of SNSD’s new single, representatives of SM Entertainment were forced to release a statement in order to clarify the issue.


Recently, a video was posted on YouTube under the caption “SNSD 3rd full album demo song leaked“. Netizens discovered that a song made by Andrew Jackson called “Hiccup” was listed under SNSD on the Korea Music Copyright Association website. It lead them to visit Andrew Jackson’s MySpace page, and after hearing the track, fans began to believe that SNSD’s demo song had indeed been leaked.


A SM Entertainment representative explained, “This song will not be included in the album that SNSD will be releasing in Korea soon. The future of this song has not yet been confirmed.”


In the end, the supposed ‘leaked demo’ was only a track buoyed up by speculation and rumors. Currently, the video has been erased at the request of the agency.


Meanwhile, SNSD is currently promoting activities in Japan while preparing for a comeback in Korea as well.

the song sounded exactly like one of britney's, they couldn't have pulled it off anyway, so this is good.

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

I kinda grew attached to the song ngl

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

I did too. Le sigh~

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

the official sm youtube liked the song on youtube too LOL. but then after they got the song removed

[shocko-o.livejournal.com]

ikr that almost made it seem like a confirmation

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

Of course
Bet the real single isn't gonna sound much different tho...

And hopefully isn't called Hikkup or whatever that was...

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

Well, dang. I liked it.

[mazical-djinni.livejournal.com]

UR JUST A HIKKUPUP

[shocko-o.livejournal.com]

... i'm confused why sment@youtube favorited the video, then.
but good, the song was ok but not spectacular. hope this means they have better album tracks up their sleeves.

OH MY GOD YOUR ICON

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

it's f(x)'s next song right?

[vagueclarity.livejournal.com]

well i hope they keep the ballad track

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

it's gotta belong to somebody. they favorited it on youtube.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

OP, your icon is oddly relevant to the post. lol.

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

err wrong one D:

[ninyafreak.livejournal.com]

I saw the official channel liked the song on YT but never had the chance to listen to it lol

Why do they say this now that I'm addicted to it?

What about Time Machine? I have a feeling that song could do pretty well in the US... it has a very American-friendly sound. Just me? Idk.

The third one from the left who looks like she's derping? Sunny.

[mystylle.livejournal.com]

Don't care. Those songs were mediocre as hell anyways.

[picklesnjam.livejournal.com]

anyone with link to the song? i still didnt hear it either way

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

They bought the song but it won't be included in SNSD's next album. Let's see who will get it. Even til now the song Brown Eyes' YooGun composed for SNSD is still kept hidden in SME's music box.

o rly.
so um did anyone else notice this

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

A shame, but I'm not surprised. It makes more sense that the song is for their Japanese activities (it sounds more like their Jap stuff and STY was credited, and he redid their Japanese lyrics).

[malyo.livejournal.com]

please don't tell me its another cutesy "oppa I love you" song

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

nah, no.

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

then why did they take it down? I thought you could only take down stuff if it violated your copyrights? Do they own the song or not?

[askbask.livejournal.com]

Yes they do.

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy if they weren't included, but who are you trying to fool, SME. :/

[minyquai.livejournal.com]

fuck yes, hated it

loved time machine tho D:

[cruel-disorder.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind that as some random Japanese filler song tbh. But keep Time Machine in the Korean album prz ;^;
