Recently, we've posted about the suspicion of plagiarism for the track "I'm a Loner" by C.N.Blue (refer to post #8) and FNC Music's response to this accusation.

Just not long ago, YNot has also gave their account on this.

“The plagiarism issues are the fault of the composers, Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho. We hope CNBLUE does not get scarred from this issue. This issue is between us (Ynot) and the composers of ‘I’m a loner’, in no way is it an issue between us and CNBLUE.”

“We expect and look forward to a long career from CNBLUE, who is talented and has the ability to play instruments, compose and write songs. We hope this incident does not hinder their activities and we hope it does not scar them at all.”

However, they also expressed their firm stand regarding the plagiarism incident.

“If the issues are not settled rationally and appropriately, we are considering taking the proper legal actions.”

Their response towards FNC Music's statement about Ynot just wanted “noise marketing” and that “if they (FNC Music) were going to plagiarize, they would’ve chosen a better foreign song,” :

“We have been doing this for 13 years, putting on performances and standing by our name Ynot. It is greatly insulting to not only us, but the entire indie scene for them to state such things. I am now concerned for our band’s (Ynot) honor and reputation because of the statements from FNC Music.”

In my opinion, Ynot has definitely given a more tactful statement as compared to FNC, and i feel regretful that C.N.BLUE's company didnt do a good job to address the issue and they seemed to be too nervous about the incident.

Since it's seems to be the fault of the composers, and also FNC's fault to not verify the originality of the song, we should really pray hard for our idol band, and hope that Ynot would not pursue this matter any further.

It's the evil netizens at work again, digging such matters up, creating problems and unhappiness.

HWAITING, C.N.BLUE!!
