Crying Nut has asked Mnet to not interfere in their lawsuit against CNBLUE.

The indie band had filed a lawsuit because CNBLUE previously performed Crying Nut's "Offside" on 'M!Countdown' back in 2010 and the recorded performance was later included in their DVD released in Japan. However, Mnet had stepped forward to say they would be taking�responsibility for the lawsuit.

However, Crying Nut emphasized that the problem was with CNBLUE and not Mnet. Through an official press release, they commented, "We already received compensation from the broadcast station because of the wrongful broadcast, DVD reproduction, and DVD distribution. There is nothing else that the broadcast station is responsible for anymore."

They then explained, "The problem that's left is with CNBLUE because they deceived and misled the viewers and the Japanese DVD buyers that Crying Nut's own AR music was their own live sound. In other words, they have to pay for the actions of stealing our musical property (copyright, neighboring copyrights). This is not something Mnet should mediate or cooperate with. We will not be covering this up. We will be taking strict measures."
