    "The below is the company's statement


    Hello.


    This is KQ Entertainment


    On the 27th, after the 'SUN' stage performed by the Challenge Team in the first round of MBC's 'My Teenage Girl' finale, was broadcast, a number of reports were received through our company's official channels and webmaster e-mail address that the song was similar to ATEEZ's 'WAVE,' which was released in 2019, and its chorus melody," the agency wrote in a press statement.


    While monitoring the relevant content, we found that 'Eden-ary,' our producing team [who worked on 'WAVE'], was listed in 'SUN's credits information," they continued. "Our company would like to inform you that there was evidently no prior discussion about this with 'Eden-ary.'


    In the sense of respecting creators with unique work activities, we hope this misinformation will be corrected soon," they concluded. "And please refrain from making reckless assumptions about it.


    Thank you"
    CR:


    After the plagiarism controversy, they added Eden-ary in the list of producers
    but they said that there was no prior discussion

    1. Huh? They can do that??


    2. Wow this is crazy


    3. Ah so disappointing


    4. Peeling like an onion


    5. Huh????????????? I thought that they got his consent and added him to their producer list but... since it's becoming controversial, they are just adding him as they wish?????


    6. What the? Why are they acting like such amateurs? Clear this mess up...


    7. Wow ㄷㄷㄷㄷ they are just adding his name by themselves??


    8. Can they do that? Wow this is getting bigger so shouldn't Jeon Soyeon's side make a statement?


    9. Oh my? Is this legal?


    10. No but what is happening? This is the best


    [theqoo] JEON SOYEON'S APOLOGY


    AVvXsEj6KjwYyiVEYalPXDiaLKAmfGqzgpA9B9GNFzAor0EUEEL53KBx-Rd70Hx_xNc9dDiAF6PFGtuIhNeFc-Y8CGxtpox6RodTKKnTmMaWMm6xIXvKCHwc8-UjCTvXFH_l2KUciP60YA-OBqmrEghCkmtv3mnqR34O63G_OoQcXebmGCh-WoaG8hRUSNoY=s16000
    "Hello. This is Soyeon.

    As a creator, I want to apologize about the controversy that have emerged.

    Currently, we belatedly recognized the partial melody similarity of 'Sun', the contest song of "My Teenage Girl", which is currently under controversy.

    Regarding the similarities (between the songs) raised after the broadcast ended, I thought it was appropriate to apologize for even a partial similarity, so I informed the composer of the controversial song about the situation and apologized.

    I sincerely apologize to the composer, artists, and fans for causing confusion.

    I will be more careful going forward.

    I'm sorry."

    1. Legendary


    2. So who's gonna get the credit for this?


    3. "Partial similarity"


    4. Didn't she used a music software illegally last time?


    5. So credited him without consent and is now apologizing so did they consent now?... I found the whole chorus similar so it's funny how she's claiming it's "partial"


    6. One school violence assailant, one CCP supporter and one plagiarizer all in 1 group. It's impressive that they've had 3 blows in a row


    7. "Similarity"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ


    8. She's claiming that it was "partially similar" but they totally stole everything


    9. Didn't she get hate for using a producing program illegally?


    10. "Partially~", "one portion~" it's damn easy to apologize

  • It was probably unintentional recall, but it's good that they took moves to apologize and correct the situation.

  • Pearl-Iris

    Changed the title of the thread from “[theqoo] (G)I-DLE Jeon Soyeon released an apology after the controversy of pragiarism of Ateez's song "Wave"” to “[theqoo] (G)I-DLE Jeon Soyeon released an apology after the plagiarism controversy of Ateez's song "Wave"”.
  • good that she apologized but she should be more careful with using this or that word

    she phrased it badly and people are already pointing it out

  • IDK how anyone can't hear wave...the first second it played it sounded like wave. If KQ released a statement then it's a serious issue because they almost never get involved. Eden-ary is a HUGE producer along with Hongjoong if he didn't agree to this, there's a serious problem. It's good that cube and Soyeon apologized, and I hope they can get this all resolved quickly and without it escalating any further. As someone who's followed ateez strongly for almost 2 1/2 years i'm just baffled by this. Usually when atiny's claim something it's nothing at all, but this time...between this and NMIXX it's just like what is going on?!

    Exactly hope they get this shit show sorted fast because Hongjong will be beyond pissed if he has to sue someone for stealing his fucking songs. ATEEZ is great now just have to ask Yunho to make Hongjong laugh so he doesn't kill anyone at cube later

  • isn't what she did illegal? she can't just apologize, that's like me going "i robbed a bank, but i apologize, so we're good?"

    It's not illegal.

  • Why are the knetz so angry? So many times labels had done this, add the creator when people pointed out similarities of a song/music video/clothes/set designs etc. Why is this case different? Is it because she’s a girl idol?

    She did wrong so she's suffering from its consequences, all celebrities whether male or female who have been accused of plagiarism got their fair share of hate so why turning it into a girl or boy thing?

    knetz are brutal to everyone lol

    She’s a girl so that’s why I asked. If Soyeon is a guy I will ask is it because he’s an idol?

    Good point

    It's also partially just general gidle antis. One of the comments makes references to Soojin and Yuqi so that's part of it.

    It will be both Hongjoong AND Eden-ary. Mostly Eden-ary. It is really baffling that people are like "oh she apologized move on" umm no...she legitimately plagiarized a meaningful song that Eden-ary made for Ateez, this song got Ateez their first ever music show win, it's a well known song for them, And Ateez is not a shit group, ellenote, anyways, This isn't some forgotten b-side track either. I just hope behind the scenes they work something out but the fact that Eden-ary said no to putting them on there and asked for it to be revised says a lot to me.
