Recently, top girl group SISTAR made their comeback with their third mini-album and title track, “Shake It.”

Earlier this week, the group released their comeback music video for “Shake It” featuring rookie label mates MONSTA X. Following SISTAR’s MelOn Premiere Showcase, the track achieved a perfect all-kill on the charts.

However, amidst their comeback success, SISTAR has been hit with plagiarism accusations regarding a song on their latest album. On June 23rd, a post on the Korean site Pann claimed that one of their recent songs was too similar to a previous hit song. The track, “Bad Guy,” off of their third mini-album has been accused of plagiarizing JYJ member XIA Junsu’s hit song “Flower.”

The Pann post included a comparison of the score of the two songs as well as an audio comparison of the songs. After taking a look at the video, most netizens seemed to agree that the songs have an uncanny similarity.

Many netizens expressed their awe that the songs were so similar and that the original track was popular so it would be hard not to notice the similarities. Some netizens even expressed their frustration and sadness.

[+ 234, – 12] They just changed the last notes and everything else is exactly the same……..I’m not his fan but I listened to this song a lot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what were they thinking so obviously plagiarizing a song that did well ??

[+ 216, – 7] Wow…what is this … crazy

[+ 91, – 3] He was held back for 6 years and he finally  used this song to appear on a music show. It upsets me that it was copied in such a way. When it comes to music Junsu is so passionate and careful…and he was plagiarized….I feel so sorry for Junsu.

Chapter 507: Actually for Jonghyun statement here is before GD's news. Jjong statement was on a show and he already shoot this long before GD's one was released. And I think you're not fully released all the statement. GD was ask to choose between SHINee and EXO, and he choose SHINee, because they're atleast have members that compose their own music.
I'm not a VIP and yeah I actually disappointed with GD's answer. He's so full of himself. The answer could've been better. He ofc can't compare YG system with SM. You know that SM mostly not allowing their Idol to realease their own compose song (at that time, maybe only Henry and Jonghyun that succeed to released their own song), but nowadays with SM STATION many SM idols allowed to release their own songs. Meanwhile YG always want their Idols to make their own songs, especially for their boyband. You can see the difference. 1. SM didnt trust their idols yet, but they willing to spent money on other composers. Not only that, most of times SM hire composer that ever worked with western singer and obviously it cost a lot.
2. YG pushed their idols to make their songs, they spent a lil money on composers. [Why I said pushed? If you look at B.I condition now maybe you'll understand.]
