Veteran Kim Kyung Ho asks Crying Nut to show mercy to CNBLUE

Article: Kim Kyung Ho "Crying Nut, show mercy to CNBLUE... CNBLUE, apologize to Crying Nut"

Source: Star News via Nate (TN: to help the comments make more sense, the original title of the article was 'Kim Kyung Ho, 'Crying Nut must show mercy to CNBLUE')

"They're both my juniors... It's definitely the fault of CNBLUE's reps that they used the digital recording without any consent or permission, but I would like Crying Nut to play their role as senior musicians by showing mercy to their dongsengs.

To outsiders, it can look like an indie band trying to cut down CNBLUE for achieving mainstream popularity but I don't see it that way. Putting aside the involvement of the broadcast company, as artists, CNBLUE's reps should've made sure to receive permission before having made hasty decisions like that.

It's an issue that's often overlooked, and it's only now that it's finally exploding. Crying Nut has every right to be angry.

I, too, have experience of my former agency using songs that I had produced as demos in the past in special album releases without my consent, which bothered me greatly.

In the end, we're all friends and musicians. With the amount of publicity this issue has gained, the public has also acknowledged that CNBLUE made a mistake. Everyone already knows that CNBLUE is in the wrong so I feel that Crying Nut should have it in them to show them mercy this once.

I personally wish that they won't sour their relationship as musicians by taking this to the court. I'd like for Crying Nut to just live up to their senior musician title, as hyungs, and consider CNBLUE's mistake as one made by uninformed dongsengs.

What mistake could the children (CNBLUE) actually have committed. It's the fault of their company for not looking into the matter further at the time. They do, however, need to take into account what Crying Nut is asking of them and show a genuine desire to resolve the matter peacefully by visiting them with an apology."

1. [+605, -16] I'm a supporter of Crying Nut but after reading Kim Kyung Ho's interview, what he's saying is right... It's just that the journalist chose a provocative title to get more clicks so I'm worried it's going to get Kyung Ho hyung more hate

2. [+490, -40] CNBLUE's fans are pretty daebak~ Crying Nut's debuted for 17 years now but they're claiming that they're using their oppas for fame ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+447, -15] I hope they listen to this amazing senior's advice and resolve the matter...

4. [+368, -16] It's because he's Kim Kyung Ho that he can come out and say things like this... Anyway, I hope CNBLUE and Crying Nut resolve this matter peacefully

5. [+357, -21] Kyung Ho hyung sounds too nice. CNBLUE's company is complete evil, you could tell right from how they handled their plagiarism controversy. Crying Nut needs to slam down on them hard for them to wake up otherwise if they let them go this time, they're going to be rolling the gears in their heads for something else next time

6. [+352, -54] I disagree. Crying Nut needs to make this case a precedent so that it doesn't happen again.

7. [+315, -29] I disagree as well. Crying Nut's point of lawsuit is to make the case a precedent, not to make money off of CNBLUE or because they're jealous of CNBLUE's fame. They've already announced that should they win the lawsuit, the money will be donated to help the cause of indie bands so their intent seems genuine. I remember when CNBLUE was up against Ynot, the court totally demolished Ynot... It's time that an indie band of Crying Nut's stature finally step up and drill this issue down once and for all.

8. [+221, -20] Crying Nut's point is that they don't want something like this to happen again. I hope it all gets resolved.

9. [+200, -7] Don't you guys think Kim Kyung Ho is too nice? ㅋㅋ He's like the Yoo Jae Suk of the rocker world ㅋ

10. [+152, -5] Any idiot who just reads the title and skims the article will think Kim Kyung Ho is taking CNBLUE's side. I hope that nobody just reads the title and leaves a bunch of hateful replies at him.
