CNBLUE's official response to plagiarism allegations - "Unbelievable"

AKP STAFF

About an hour ago, we reported that CNBLUE's agency would release an official statement in regards to their debut track, "I'm a loner," being plagiarized off of Ynot's "Blue bird." Below is FNC Music's official response. FNC Music boldly stated:

"Unbelievable. They are barely similar. The only similarities are the chords in the introduction and the style of music. If 'I'm a loner' has a similarity controversy for these reasons, then all the music on this planet will never be free from such controversy."
FNC Music added:
"Due to this incident, this is the first time we have ever heard about the group Ynot, in addition to their song 'Blue bird.'"
In regards to plagiarism allegations:
"Plagiarism can only be determined by the courts ruling. There hasn't even been a court ruling but the media is already throwing around such hot words. We plan to take appropriate measures against these outlets."
In regards to Ynot who stated that CNBLUE's track is not a mere coincidence:
"Ynot claimed in an interview that they didn't want 'noise marketing', however, if that was really the case, they would've approached the composer or producer first. If their true motives were to raise their awareness by riding on the coattails of CNBLUE's rising popularity and fame, they will have to take responsibility for their actions."
FNC Music is extremely concerned about CNBLUE's reputation and image due to these plagiarism allegations, and of course because they are a new band, they want to start off on the right foot. However, FNC Music's statements are way too defensive and they seem rather butthurt. You guys be the judge, are they just spewing garbage or do they have a case in point?
