Article: Kim Hyung Suk and Bang Shi Hyuk "It's a stretch to call IU's song plagiarized" opinions of composers gain attention

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+1,992, -320] The song is similar to the point of it being a remake... IU's fans and composers should stop using weird logic to defend her. Roy Kim was criticized to death, why are people suddenly so generous about plagiarism now that it's IU?

2. [+1,869, -289] People didn't hesitate to hate on Roy Kim for 'Spring Spring Spring' but IU's being defended? From the first note to the last, IU's song is exactly the same. Are these composers saying the public's ears are deaf?

3. [+930, -61] I remember what Shin Seung Hoon said on Healing Camp... how he'll write songs that sometimes he thinks he heard elsewhere, so even if it ends up costing him $5,000 in investments, he'll trash the song if there's even a hint of it sounding similar to another song. It's great that IU's in dramas and shooting CFs, but if she wants to be a true singer, she should learn from seniors like him and apply his advice to her own career.

4. [+134, -23] "Wait" and "Love of B" are way more severely similar than "The Red Shoes", from beginning to end

5. [+108, -15] IU better not act like a singersongwriter anymore, especially with all this media play about IU not knowing a thing about this, just singing whatever the composer gave her ㅋㅋ

Article: 'Inkigayo' IU, despite plagiarism controversy, she goes through with an impressive performance

1. [+1,463, -297] All the hate for Roy Kim's plagiarism and none for IU's controversy... fans and composers alike too busy shielding her ㅋ too bad the song was still copied and pasted

2. [+1,369, -268] How shameless. I guess plagiarism is not a big deal anymore... it was such a huge controversy back in the day;;; How is there being too many songs out there to consider it plagiarism even an excuse?

3. [+1,420, -414] I feel like I see malice in her face

4. [+113, -32] They're practically the same song... Just an English and Korean version

5. [+113, -40] Shameless;;;
