Have you ever heard of EKKO Music Rights? The group of music producers working for HYBE, SM, JYP, and Kakao!

That's why it's hilarious how kpop fans were screaming SM/NCT Dream "plagiarised" from Hybe because they listed their producers in credit for a demo song they bought. These companies are not the enemies fans want them to be.

Countdown's producers (Moonshine and Deez) are also part of EKKO

It may sound funny, but I don't see the album Chapter: TXT Star here (Blue Orange). They would be so kind to pass me the link. as a recommendation I tell you never to defend kpop companies just to feed your egos.

The TXT album and song you imply sounds nothing like 3,2,1. Please pinpoint one part that sounds remotely similar smh. The only thing that made people even put them together is because they have the same producers list. Adding credits for producers not from their company=/= plagiarism. Besides the fact it's a bought demo, the person they initially credited from the start also worked with the hybe producers in the song you think is the original. How you come up with plagiarism claims from that is beyond hilarious.

I agree. In my opinion that plagiarism was a big nonsense.

This thread is interesting though. I bet some of the fans who talking bad about other groups would ignore this if they see it.

I did find the link though.

This also explains why the matter was cleared up so quickly and easily.

So presumably Moonshine and co worked on this demo with the hybe producers. It was used on that txt song that allegedly sounds similar to Countdown and then it was used again in Countdown but the hybe producers were only added later on and this is somehow plagiarism? NCT Dream got dragged and mocked for THIS?

It's not this time we'll see AKP NCTzens and AKP MOAS fighting. Maybe in the next dumb controversy...
