Tahiti used JYJ's "Mission" intro in one of their performances at a college festival and said in an interview with the MC after, "This intro is usually only specially used for our international performances but we're using it for this college performance today."

Tahiti used the same intro at performance in Cambodia back in March as well. Fans alerted the matter to Dream Star Entertainment. Reps apologized and explained that the intro was originally used by suggestion of an international concert rep and their manager didn't think to check before using it again for other performances.

"We should've just used it once and left it at that but we didn't know so we used it at Cambodia and at the college festival. Had we known that the song belonged to JYJ, we would not have used it."

1. [+1,336, -8] Who is Tahiti?

2. [+1,165, -18] Should've just used it once and left it at that? Using it "just once" doesn't mean it isn't illegal

3. [+1,059, -34] They must think lowly of JYJ ㅋㅋㅋ Such a short apology

4. [+982, -20] They wouldn't have used it if they knew it was JYJ's? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That means they would've kept using it if it belonged to some other unknown artist. You idiots, you should be coming up with your own content for your performances, not copying others.

5. [+783, -30] Girls, this is a unique promotional tactic. I'm glad you aren't resorting to stripping down naked like the other girl groups.

6. [+736, -8] Why do nobody groups like this get to perform overseas? Why is it that all idols these days have overseas experience when they have no popularity?

7. [+442, -4] But.. who is Tahiti?

8. [+396, -6] "Had we known that the song belonged to JYJ, we would not have used it." I don't think these people know how to run a music agency ㅋ

9. [+368, -13] This is quite a brave promotional tactic if you think about it ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+296, -8] Tahiti? Are they around the level of Crayon Pop...?
