Follow Up: TS responds to plagiarism accusations


Article: BAP's new track 'Bad Man' under controversy for similarities to Shinhwa's 'We Can Get It On'

TS, "We are aware of there being talks about the similarities between the two songs. The song was not plagiarized and we don't feel that it was worth responding to so we never released a statement on the issue. It is the same for 'No Mercy'. If people consider this plagiarism, then A Pink's 'No No No' and S.E.S. should be plagiarism as well. There are a lot of similar songs these days. We feel that these accusations are coming from Shinhwa's fandom."

Shinhwa Company, "We are aware of there being talks about the similarities between the two songs. However, Shinhwa is currently on break after their Asia tour so we will have to check in on the matter with them."

2. [+642, -12] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is plagiarism the trend lately? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did their company seriously say that there are too many songs that sound similar, are they serious?

3. [+637, -16] We should never let this get buried. We're going to take this until the end as it's already the second time that this has happened.

4. [+141, -1] TS is saying what Eric should be saying. What they gave out as a statement is never the stance the accused side should be giving out. If they have any shame at all, they should wait until Eric has cleared them of the claims.

5. [+126, -0] Eric is too nice. You know what Shinhwa said at their last concert? They asked fans to give much love to other juniors' music while they're on break so that Korea can get its music industry back on its feet. Meanwhile their juniors are sitting around thinking of ways to plagiarize... Nice.

6. [+114, -0] Shinhwa's side is funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ "Wait, we're on vacation so we'll think about it after we take our break" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+105, -0] So they're aware of it and aren't going to do anything about it... This is already their second time being accused of plagiarizing Shinhwa. Let's see how long they'll stay quiet about it!!!!

8. [+100, -0] I don't think it's a good idea messing with Shinhwa

9. [+95, -0] Of all the songs to mess with, a song from Shinhwa's 9th album...

10. [+83, -0] Do you guys even know what kind of song 'We Can Get It On' is? It's a song that Eric self composed and wrote to give us the strength to wait for them for four years. And you dare touch that? What a shameless company

11. [+83, -1] TS doesn't seem to realize that it doesn't matter what they say because if Eric comes out and says it's plagiarized, then it is ㅋㅋㅋ They're not in any position to be saying anything
