Record label addresses accusations that Chen and Punch's 'Everytime' plagiarized other songs

misc.

Suspicions of plagiarism were raised for "Everytime," the 'Descendants of the Sun' OST sung by Chen and Punch. Music&NEW, the record label in charge of producing the song, spoke up against the plagiarism accusations.�


Netizens had pointed out that "Everytime" sounds too similar to Eric Nam's�debut song "Heaven's Door," and�Han Jae Ho, the composer of that song, had told�OSEN�that he would like to "speak with [the composer of 'Everytime']." There were also opinions that "Everytime" sounded too much like�2BiC's "A Night Like This."�


A rep from Music&NEW stated on April 6, "There were opinions that the chorus is too similar to 2BiC's 'A Night Like This,' so we inquired into the matter directly with the original composer Jo Young Soo. [We found that] earattack included his name as a co-composer, along with Locoberry and Jo Young Soo, after negotiating with Jo Young Soo and getting the permission to use a sample [from the song]."�

The rep further said, "As Jo Young Soo's 'A Night Like This' was released on May 18, 2012, the accusations that 'Everytime' plagiarized Eric Nam's 'Heaven's Door,' which was released later on, are void."�


Do you hear the similarities?
