Article: [Official statement] Teddy reps, "Sunmi's 'Heroine' was NOT plagiarized... 100% his own creation"

1. [+5,712, -156] ????

2. [+5,634, -282] It's too similar to say that.. the overall way the song is structured. The EDM part of 'Gashina' is similar to 'Lean On' too... this is embarrassing for Korea.

3. [+5,159, -177] So shameless of PlagiarismTeddy

4. [+4,877, -185] ????????? I know nothing about music and even I can tell that it's similar

5. [+4,195, -162] All he did was add Korean lyrics to it... he really screwed Sunmi over

6. [+1,689, -41] This ba$tard has no shame ㅋㅋㅋㅋ by the way, he's not even Korean so he hasn't served in the army ever

7. [+1,509, -43] Shouldn't he at least give reasons why it's not plagiarism? It's hard for the rest of us to understand when all he's saying is no

8. [+1,430, -31] So just because he's saying it's not means that it's not? Shouldn't he be explaining how it's not??? He really sees the public as trash

1. [+600, -71] Sunmi, please don't sing live!! I was so surprised... shes so extremely bad at singing. I get that she's more about the performance but come on ㅠㅠ

2. [+490, -28] Does he think he can just brush this off because he doubts an international singer will file a lawsuit? This just makes Sunmi get hate too. Everything is similar, not just the song. If she has any shame, she should quit while she can.

3. [+415, -74] Still can't forget Sunmi's shocking and horrifying live singing on 'Happy Together' yesterday. She also lip synced her comeback stage on 'M! Countdown'.

4. [+112, -60] What does this make Sunmi then? I don't want it to be plagiarism either but he needs to give more reasons than just saying it's not. How can Sunmi halt promos if the composer is saying he didn't plagiarize?

5. [+81, -23] Wow, this ba$tard's an idiot ㅋㅋ

6. [+57, -8] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I expected him to weasel his way out of this one since he's YG and all

7. [+51, -5] He really thinks he can cover the sky with his bare palm...

8. [+35, -3] That basically means Sunmi has to continue promos while getting all this hate ㅋㅋ

Article: Sunmi's 'Heroine' plagiarism controversy, YG deletes Teddy's production video on composing music

Source: Segye Ilbo via Nate

1. [+974, -9] So Yang Hyun Suk is really just a thug at this point, right? Why does he keep acting like this?

2. [+963, -8] This is why Yoo Byung Jae said there are a lot of people in YG who should be in jail

3. [+705, -8] Deleting the video is basically a silent way of admitting that he plagiarized

4. [+39, -2] All because of him, Sunmi is getting a sh*t ton of hate ㅡㅡ YG always keeps their mouth shut about issues like this

5. [+36, -1] Just too much bad news surrounding this agency

Article: 'Music Bank' Sunmi, no mention of 'Heroine' plagiarism scandal "I love my fans"

Source: Money Week via Nate

1. [+553, -46] At least when Lee Hyori had her plagiarism controversy, she apologized and halted her promos

2. [+517, -111] Her singing yesterday on 'Happy Together' was seriously bad ㅋㅋㅋ her face looks weird with all the plastic surgery now too. She was never talented to begin with, always just a performance centered kid. I knew she would never last long but I never thought her career would end over plagiarism... There's just a limit to how far performance singers can go since they have no innate talent of their own.

3. [+58, -2] The composer is the first person responsible for this but Sunmi is responsible as well. Sunmi wrote the lyrics and it's not just the song that's under accusation but the MV, choreography, and concept too. If she continues promos, it's only going to hurt her in the end. People will call her shameless.

4. [+46, -5] Why are people saying Sunmi's not responsible? If she was never caught, people would praise her for picking a good song and everything. The opposite of that means she should be responsible when the song doesn't do well either.

5. [+33, -1] For how pretty she is, she's got quite of a stubborn head on her shoulders~~ but then you have to wonder how many sly things she's seen in her career for how young she debuted. She probably had to be stubborn to last this long.

6. [+27, -1] She needs to put out a statement before sentiment turns worse against her. Halting promos is the best way to go since she has no idea how much worse this is going to get.

7. [+24, -5] Just consider this a little break and apologize before halting promos

8. [+22, -2] Wow, how can she be so shameless?
