When we thought that the plagiarism issue has died down, Ynot seems to be upset with the success of I'm a Loner and chose this timing to announce officially that they will take legal action against I’m a Loner’s composer & songwriter Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho.
The vocal of Ynot and the songwriter of Blue Bird gave a press statement today, 1st Feb:
We shared our thoughts about this situation, yet the composer, songwriter
and company representative have not made an excuse or shared a statement. We
have received advice from an entertainment business lawyer and will seek help to
take legal action.
A FNC Music (CNBLUE’s company) representative claimed
that we were noise marketing to raise our own popularity. We think that, from
the plagiarism allegations, FNC Music is the one noise marketing to up their
popularity instead.
It seems like FNC Music is waiting it out and
expecting this controversy to settle down. … They aren’t giving Ynot respect and
haven’t cared to take action because Ynot is an indie band.
On February
1st, Ynot’s company asked FNC Music to apologize for the insulting statements
they made, and asked the songwriters to make an official statement toward the
similarities between the songs.
This controversy is ultimately between
me (Ju Mong), the songwriter of Blue Bird, and Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho, the
composer and songwriter of I’m a Loner, and shouldn’t involve Ynot and CNBLUE.
I can see Ynot is trying hard not to pull the talented new group, C.N.BLUE, into this mess all this while. However, taking official legal charges against the song would mean affecting the group badly already.
I really hope this issue will be settled appropriately by FNC, and even if apologies are needed, i hope they will humble down and offer their sincere apologies and make sensible and mature statements about the issue.
There could be really coincidences, or very obvious similarities between songs all the time, so whether this plagiarism issue is just a marketing strategy, or a really blunt mistake, we should all give C.N.BLUE our utmost support and show love for their other original songs.
HWAITING, C.N.BLUE!
