Mystic Story Producer And Composer Of IU’s “Boo” Respond To Accusations Of Plagiarism

-

More of IU’s songwriters have launched statements addressing plagiarism accusations.

Earlier this week, it was reported {that a} grievance was filed towards IU on the violation of copyright regulation almost about her six songs “The Red Shoes,” “Good Day,” “BBIBBI,” “pitiful,” “Boo,” and “Celebrity.” IU’s company EDAM Entertainment has since launched an official statement concerning the accusations and ensured sturdy authorized motion towards malicious rumors.

On May 12, music producer and Mystic Story president Jo Young Chul launched the next assertion on IU’s current plagiarism accusations:

Hello.
As the producer who was accountable for the manufacturing of IU’s previous albums, I believed I ought to make just a few feedback.

While I’ve monitored all of the songs that proceed to say plagiarism on YouTube and had been lately accused, I used to be unable to find any suspicion of plagiarism. Just since you’ve taken one a part of a tune and suppose there’s a tune that has an analogous melody or chord development to it doesn’t make that plagiarism. This will not be my private opinion as that is the court docket precedent. The elements of the songs being accused don’t even have the identical melody or chord development.

I noticed an article saying that German band Nekta reached out concerning plagiarism and didn’t obtain any response, however that is totally different from the reality. At the time, Nekta’s authorized consultant despatched mail to LOEN [Entertainment, now Kakao M] and LOEN and their authorized consultant responded. They despatched mail and notices confirming the essential info, however the case closed as they stopped responding. The company and regulation agency probably nonetheless have the mail and notices despatched on the time.

The copyright dispute is principally a difficulty between copyright holders. I query whether or not a 3rd social gathering has the correct to make accusations, and so they have to be held legally accountable if that is [an attempt of] malicious defamation.

Songwriter Han Sang Won, who composed IU’s “Boo,” additionally took to his Instagram to share the next detailed rationalization:

1. The begin of composing “boo”

In 2008, I acquired a tune request from then-rookie singer IU, and the style I selected was ’80s feminine dance pop, a style I personally like.

After seeing IU, who was a younger pupil on the time, I considered ‘a dance monitor a few shiny and cute love story.’ I first created the important thing lyric “You’re my boo,” impressed by the phrase “boo,” and the hook’s “picture melody,” after which made the tune by implementing the association technique and customary beat of “’80s feminine dance pop.” (This is also known as a “reference.”)

The melody of the refrain lyric “You’re my boo” is borrowed from IU’s different tune “Merry Christmas Ahead,” and I imagine that is the most important cause why this tune acquired a lot love, to the purpose the place this half was left and remade right into a rap tune by Geeks.

2. The malicious cross-editing of solely the “intro”

The picture (’80s disco dance pop) of the intro’s rhythm for the tune being accused by a YouTuber could really feel much like the four-bar development (5-2-4-1 construction) of an intro of 9 to 12 bars with a four-second feminine again refrain line for a complete of three bars, however for those who make claims on this method, a lot of the songs on the earth could be known as “plagiarism.”

(For instance, Hall & Oates’ “I can’t go for that,” which was impressed by Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” are two totally different songs however the former’s key intro beat and theme baseline are the identical, so it’s cross-editing simply 4 bars of its intro and claiming this as “plagiarism.”)

3. Exactly what tune is the “melody” of IU’s “boo” much like?

I reveal that the melody of the tune “boo” is 100% my authentic tune from begin to end. It’s the identical now, however “boo” is the tune I made after staying up all evening pondering and dealing to create a melody that was extra authentic than any tune on the earth.

Aside from the “again refrain melody” of the “3 bar 4-second half” intro that the YouTuber is claiming, is there any a part of the melody within the tune’s 3 minute 32 second play time that feels comparable? Can you declare plagiarism if “boo” was proposed to a unique music arranger and the intro and accompaniment (MR) had been carried out in another way? The melody of the tune has no similarities with the tune claimed by the YouTuber.

“boo” was made with the “’80s feminine dance pop” style and consequently is a tune that highlights the Funk Rock style during which the bottom line is the “intro’s repetitive most important electrical guitar riff,” so I reveal that it’s totally different from the dance pop tune you claimed that highlights bass and rhythm.

4. Re-emphasizing malicious modifying and instigation

I really feel deeply unhappy for the YouTuber who made the malicious comparability edit of solely the same intro elements. (For your data, the (5-2-4-1) course of is a chord development utilized in Eco’s “Happy Me” and plenty of different songs.)

5. The intention of the complainant. That’s what I wish to know.

What was the intention of the one who accused IU after I, the composer of “boo,” am proper right here? I’m prepared each time to debate with “the composer who wrote the tune” who claims plagiarism concerning my tune, so in case you are that tune’s “composer,” please contact me.

For 14 years, from releasing “boo” up till now, I’ve by no means as soon as been contacted by a “composer” claiming that “boo” plagiarized their tune.

6. Summary – “Is it plagiarism if the intros are comparable?”

From songwriter Han Sang Won

Earlier this week, the songwriters of IU’s “Good Day,” “The Red Shoes,” “and “BBIBBI” additionally shared statements addressing the plagiarism claims.
