Article: god Kim Tae Woo reps, "Hyuna's homage, I'm thankful but it's regretful" official statement

1. [+5,734, -174] Definitely not an homage, it's a forced excuse!!

2. [+5,562, -113] Sigh, even JYP said that they would've liked it if they had received prior notification but I guess god and JYP are just being nice for the sake of Hyuna... I bet they would've stayed quiet about it if it was never discovered. They should be grateful they're not being sued.

3. [+4,918, -87] He's right, an homage needs prior notification... They didn't even reveal that it was an homage right away, only after they got caught..

4. [+3,716, -133] He's such a senior about it, especially since he can just call it plagiarism~

5. [+627, -14] Kim Tae Woo beat around the bush but he basically called it plagiarism ㅋㅋ

6. [+499, -12] If they had said it was an homage from the start, I'm sure god fans would've been in support of it... but their dishonest attitude has only brought more antis for him. A shame, they should be more careful next time.

7. [+495, -13] Were they seriously caught just stealing it?  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+475, -13] Hyomin called it an homage too after being caught by the netizens but I guess homages lately are only revealed after the fact?

Article: Cube CEO, "god homage, carelessness by the company... apologies for not checking the details"

1. [+963, -42] They should've made sure plagiarism suspicions never arised from the start. Why is that they only release an official statement after the homage articles are up? They're lucky god's reps let go of it lightly

2. [+871, -138] Sure.. but are you calling them artists? ㅋㅋㅋ You wrote that to make us laugh, right?

3. [+630, -57] Sounds like another case where they claimed they never heard of it after plagiarism suspicions arose and then randomly gave credit a few months later... and called it an homage ㅋ

4. [+580, -60] Quite the early apology, eh? ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+355, -11] What has the temp CEO been doing letting the scandal reach this point? Did they really make father Hong write this up mid-treatments? The company really can't handle a matter like this on their own?

6. [+103, -21] From now on, anyone in a plagiarism controversy can just say it's an homage

7. [+86, -7] As someone who's been a fan of artists under Cube, I'm not even surprised that the apology is so late, I'm surprised that they even apologized at all..
