Oh, I'm sorry if you are not interested in these post, I should maybe make a filter or something...

I don't know too much about the problem with his song but I read the case was close giving him as innocent. Don't know the details and don't know either about other cases...

As a band, yes I like them, their songs get me in a good mood as super junior's do.

Again, sorry if you don't find these entries interesting. Hope you don't decide to defriend me I sure will talk about other things... I'm just in a kpop mood.

Thank you for the warning, I had already read things I don't like and I didn't like what was happening with Super Junior, in the first place ( ... )

Hi. I basically bloghopped out of boredom, and found myself here at random. So I'm sorry if I'm dropping a comment out of nowhere ( ... )

First, hi to you, too. :)

Second, maybe I should have been more clear that my comment is only meant to disprove your statement regarding the plagiarism claims on G-Dragon. No more, no less. It's neither to bring in ginger001 in the fandom (she's clearly in it already) nor is it to refute your arguments on why Kpop is bad for her. I see that you're a friend of hers who cares deeply for her wellbeing, and yes, you do have valid points on the perils of fandom, but I honestly couldn't care less about your self-declared prejudice. As I said, it's your opinion, I respect it, so force it on your friend if you must. That was not the point of my contention.

Third - and this is the sole reason I commented in the first place - for you to just carelessly declare that G-Dragon is "deemed guilty" of plagiarism is something I cannot brush off. Especially since you sounded all too knowing of the case. I mean, it's one thing for you to say that you think G-Dragon has plagiarized (which, really, is an invalid opinion unless you're a creator of the song/s in ( ... )

If there's one thing that you're right though, it's that the Kpop industry is indeed plagued by plagiarism accusations. Some are confirmed by the producers and slammed with a lawsuit, while some are just blatantly dismissed. But you cannot also disregard that a lot of these claims are just too ridiculous to be taken seriously by anybody who knows better. One such bogus allegation is this Heartbreaker vs Right Round issue, the supposed basis of which is the similar "rapping style". Ok firstly, the use of the word "plagiarism" in this context is in itself flawed because "style" is not something that can be plagiarized to begin with. Plagiarism requires actual copying of tangible elements - notes, words, dance moves, drawings, beats, etc. - that are products of authorship. But, assuming, for the sake of argument that "rapping style" can be technically plagiarized, oh, what about these then?

I guess we found the answer as to why there's no response from the composers in the first place ( ... )
