Plagiarism has always been a dilemma and a frequently discussed topic in music. However, it is not always right for those who accuse others of plagiarism, even the opposite.
The producer who accused Jungkook of "Seven" of plagiarizing his work is a prime example. Recently, this musician is facing charges of plagiarism of his own after some people discovered this song has the same melody as a song composed three years ago.
Here are the new allegations regarding the musician who falsely denounced Jungkook but failed:
The case that musician Yang Joon Young - who composed the song "Time of Mask" of Fin.K.L group - accused Jungkook of plagiarizing solo song "Seven" is attracting attention in recent days. also caught up with this hot potato and intervened in the case by releasing an article that provided concrete evidence.
The article begins by finding out why musician Yang thinks Jungkook's song plagiarizes his work. Yang Joon Young pointed out how there were similarities between the chorus of “Time of Mask” (0:52-1:10 of the song) and the bridge of “Seven” (0:55-1:03 of the song). However, looking at the original key of each song, “Time of Mask” is E major, but “Seven” is B minor. The two songs are sung at different keys. To make a better comparison, they changed the keys of both songs — “Time of Mask” to A minor and “Seven” to C major — to be more similar.
Finally, with stud̾i̾e ̾s from professional musicians who were asked by Dispatch to intervene, they show that musician Yang Joon Young's allegation that the two songs have similar notes has not been proven true. Dispatch also shows the original sheet music, where the notes can be clearly seen along with the pitch arrangement of certain notes.
From there, it was confirmed that the melody of the 2 songs was completely different, did not find any similarities with the songs.
It was thought that Dispatch's vindication of Jungkook had stopped the story around this allegation, but in recent hours, the musician accused Jungkook of surprising everyone when he was accused of plagiarizing the opposite. Specifically, a few listeners who watched Fin.K.L's song after the controversy erupted and realized that the song was uncanny like another legendary pop group, the Spice Girls.
Listening to only the first 30 seconds of the Spice Girls' нιт "Say You'll Be There," the similarities to Fin.K.L's central melody in "Time of Mask" can't be overlooked. “Say You'll Be There” was released in 1996, three years before “Time of Mask”. This made netizens around the world wonder if this musician got the idea from the Spice Girls song.
Many fans left comments and it quickly became a hot topic:
