This morning, August 22, Seven and Jungkook were reported by K-media to be involved in an allegation of plagiarism. Accordingly, the producer accused Jungkook and Seven of sending documents to HYBE headquarters for review on this matter showing the seriousness of the incident.

Hours later, вιg нιт Music did not give any response other than asking for sympathy from the reporter and will provide more information when it comes to specific conclusions. Finally, on the afternoon of August 22, вιg нιт Music as well as Seven's producers came to a final conclusion regarding the incident, ending the controversy that broke out.

Here is вιg нιт Music's official announcement regarding Jungkook and Seven's plagiarism rumors:

The issue of plagiarism is not an uncommon problem in K-pop, but it is not an issue that is easily brought up for controversy. During BTS's career, the group has also been discussed many times regarding the issue of plagiarism, but of course, all of these allegations have been proven to be unfounded. The only truth is that BTS are karmic people and have never done such shameful acts.

However, avoidance of argument still clings to them, in an υиєχρє¢тє∂ way. Typically, this morning, August 22, Jungkook suddenly became the focus on SNS after being reported to be involved in accusations of plagiarism with the song Seven. Specifically, Alpha Economy reported that Jungkook's solo song 'Seven' released in July this year borrowed the main part of Fin.K.L's 'Time of Mask' released in 2000.

At the same time, the newspaper also quoted an official involved in the incident. This person said, "It has been confirmed that the main scale sequence of  Jungkook's Seven and Fin.K.L's 'Time of Mask' are too similar. I know some famous Korean composers in ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾a consider the songs are harmonically identical."

In addition, composer Yang Joon-young, who composed "Time of Mask" is also known to have approached HYBE to ask for an explanation. The famous musician also sent an explanatory document including the sound source and scale to a lead musician of HYBE to ask for feedback. However, at the time the news broke this morning, HYBE had declined to provide a response because HYBE Board Chairman Bang Si-hyuk was on a business trip to the US.

Even so, on the afternoon of August 22, a few hours after the allegations were made, вιg нιт Music responded to Star News. This is supposed to be the official and final response to Seven's plagiarism issue.

вιg нιт Music announced, "We would like to announce that the suspicion of copyright infringement (plagiarism) related to Jungkook's song "SEVEN" is not true. This is a combined music product of 5 foreign musicians, which has nothing to do with the song on the ̾k̾o̾r̾e̾an album released 24 years ago, as the accusations suggest."

Next, BigHit Music said, "We would like to inform everyone that this is just a one-sided controversy / suspicion, which does not meet any criteria to evaluate plagiarism, such as similarity and essentially overlap". With this statement, вιg нιт Music ends the suspicion of the accuser as well as the controversy related to Jungkook and his first solo song.

Meanwhile, 'Seven' is a summer song containing the desire to be with the one you love all week. With Jungkook's catchy melody, unique style, personality as well as charming voice, Seven has quickly conquered the hearts of fans. The song topped the US Billboard 'Hot 100' main singles chart last month and now continues to set new records with the Global chart.
