They won #1 several times on music program during early 2013. The song even made them won Best Rap/Hip-Hop at Melon Music Awards and Discovery of The Year at MAMA.
So, let's continue on how netizen think Shower of Tears is the stolen song that Kangnam talked about.
First, if you search Shower of Tears on Naver, these related searches will pop-up: 'Shower of Tears Plagiarism' 'Shower of Tears Kangnam' 'Shower of Tears Composer' 'Inside Story Salon Kangnam' 'MIB song' 'Inside Story Salon Kangnam Song' etc
The song was produced by Lee Jiho & Loptimist and Baechigi was credited as lyricist. Anyway, the question is why Shower of Tears is related as Kangnam's stolen song?
Shower of Tears was released in January 2013.
In mid 2013, MIB revealed a song featuring MFBTY titled Mess which in one of the lyric written,
You’re the only one way, I only want you
I’m Ailee’s pet that sleeps in heaven
When you ask when I’m going home, I answer, not yet
Netizen started showing a cautious distrust. Why Ailee was mentioned out of the blue when all artists referred on the song are rappers only? Mess published ahead of Showr of Tears and this evidence still kind of weak, right?
But this is not the end.
Later, MIB SIMS published a diss track titled You, in one of the phrase, he stated,
It's too good to miss, the shower of tears that I had wished for
What's the definition of genuine? I dont need a reason
The question raises again, why shower of tears mentioned? Out of the blue?
Well, it could be a coincidence and the song could be another song, not Shower of Tears. However, the lyrics above apt to arouse suspicion towards Shower of Tears.
