i seriously didnt know the other song existed. where do netizens find stuff like that?

the songs are exactly the same, so i hope it wasnt the fault of SM or SNSD.
sheesh.

OMG. It’s like they only translated the song into korean.

Uzbekistan?????????????? I didn’t even know that country really existed! lol.

IMO, SM shouldn’t take any action since the song of the other group came out first anyway. Demos don’t leak that easily. How many issues like this has SM had?! I can’t even feel bad anymore. The Jessica + Seo Hyun thing is clearly a misunderstanding though. Crazy netizens XD But…she should have done the prank backstage (if it was even a prank at all lol).

whoa.. way to be original, SM.

I really find it funny when people react negatively when it comes to SNSD’s controversies but never do when it comes to other groups. There are so many biased comments around here. Anyway, I still love SNSD.

I wonder if people ACTUALLY read the article. THE SONG WAS ONLY GIVEN TO SM and not to that other woman. LOL.

whatever. bad publicity is still publicity.

Seriously do some of you even read the article or just jump straight to the video? If the song was not leaked before SNSD version came out it’d not be called “un-original” right? SM probably hasn’t even heard of the Dineyra version. How is it un-original then? Genie is not even a remake of Dineyra version.

NOBODY IN KPOP IS ORIGINAL. SO WHO CARES ALREADY. IF YOU WANT ORIGINALITY, THEN GTFO OF YOUR KPOP FANDOM. OTHERWISE, JUST STFU AND SIMPLY ENJOY THE MUSIC.

well the singer Dinerya releasd the song over four months ago beacuse thats when her music vidoe apeard on tmf and the box so i just think she is beter than snsd way beter srry but its just how i think of it

Poor girls. These netizens really are crazy. Expect a press release that will definitely clear things up about the illegal usage of the song. :(

aw. poor maknae for being picked on on her bday. but she knows her unnies really love her.
and i hope the song controversy won’t make such a big deal again. all this drama isn’t good for the girls as soon as they made their comeback.

0.0 thats interesting. from what i heard off other reports was that sica only said “go away”. didnt know she actually say anything censored. and sunny replied with whats wrong with you…
about the plagiarism thing even if sm and snsd werent wrong its still a turn off.
damn. for once theres a case where SM isnt the one that copys ><

ant-SNSD fans are on point !
They show the true nature of SNSD LOL
tiffany is the only one i don’t tolerate.. she’s just too annoying…

what a copied song.. poor indian artist. ..

OMG!! just the chorus different. NO IMPOSSIBLE! *rub eyes* SERIOUSLY!?

@ 111, 115.
Do u guys/gals even finish reading the article ?
The singer dinerya didnt release the song before SNSD. It was after SNSD.
Can u see the phrase “They officially purchased the music from Universal Music Publishing Group on February 1st, 2009, with the song’s lyrics and K-pop-ification done by SM-hired Yoo Young Jin and Yoo Han Jin.”
U haters seriously need to get a life.

Hahaha. What amazes me more is that every time those “frikkin” netizens and antis dig something about them, you label it as crap yet you still make articles on them. Can you say, insecure?

I think the problem isn’t if they have copyright issues or not. I think the problem is that they make it seem like they are great artist because they make they’re songs which they don’t. I’m glad atleast someone like JYP is in the k-pop industry. I have great respect for him.

eh

DAmn those copycats uzbekistani

Koreans and netizens should really chill. X) LOL at Jessica for the uber bad timing. HAHAHA

i think the Uzbekistan version is WAY BETTER….even the choreography. another point, WE ONLY HEARD ONE SIDE OF THE STORY from UMPG. WE SHOULDN’T MAKE ANY CONCLUSIONS YET, what if the other camp claims otherwise? IT’S NOT FAIR NOT TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE FIRST.

what a major turn off….but hey I still like them…..but about jesicca….she makes a prank at a very wrong time and place….

@107…..other groups are being bashed also and not only snsd…......everyone is biased not only fans of other groups but also fans of snsd…

@117 YOU JUST DONT READ YOU SHOULD THINK YOU IDIOT. DINERYA DID RELEASED THE SONG BEFORE SNSD. LOOK AT THE DATE WHEN THE VIDEO WAS UPLOADED IN YOUTUBE, IT WAS WAY BACK IN APRIL.

Thats what boredom does to netizens!..

The song is really similar though!

the singer Dineyra has a better version for me (song & choreography). and her voice is better than the 9 nine girls combined LOL but the problem is that her song is plagiarized.

wow that songs sounds like exactly the same - ishh

It sounds the same. Maybe they were both sold the rights. Whatever I though they said something about copyrights getting lax now. The songs are the same, SNSD is a full fledged uber successful group who the bak are they giving Demo tapes out too?

From Universal Music Europe:

‘We own this song. Dsign are Universal writers. Girls’ Generation / SM were given this song exclusively to record and release.

The Uzbekistan release is an unauthorized,and unlawful version and not approved by us. GG/SM are at no fault at all. A press message will be sent out shortly. ‘

THE SONG WAS GIVEN TO SM EXCLUSIVELY. THE UXBEKISTAN RELEASE IS AN UNAUTHORIZED AND UNLAWFUL VERSION AND NOT APPROVED BY UNIVERSAL MUSIC EUROPE.
So the one copying is this Dineyra’s company.
SNSD FIGHTING!!!!!!!

RIP—- The ability for allkpop readers to read. It’s a sad sad day

Read the article next time before making a comment. Seriously.

Can’t people READ PROPERLY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Lol, pls stop bashing and read the latest news. This thing is totally end. Stupid AFSers.

baffled so whats this article about? lol

The song issue could happen to anyone; there are so many songs in the world, some are bound to sound alike. But whether it was a prank or not, the first thing I realized was, “She did this SeoHyun DURING the Etude performance?” I saw that little shove when I watched that same video, so I knew something was going on. Doing that on stage (intentional or not) wasn’t very professional, was it, ‘Sica’?

Holy crap, that’s such a legit copy. You don’t even have to re-listen to it a bunch of times, you can tell it’s the exact same once you listen to the Uzbekistan version. Stupid SM, poor SNSD. :/

sm in music business almost like retail business….. buying things and sell again…..in different package. does not sound so nice, but made lots of money.

THE UZBEKISTANS HAS NOT RELEASED THEIR SIDE OF THE STORY YET SO WE SHOULDN’T MAKE ANY CONCLUSIONS, BELIEVING STATEMENTS GIVEN BY ONE SIDE ALONE IN THIS CASE UNIVERSAL MUSIC IS NOT JUST RIGHT. Even if SME may have the rights to the song BUT DINEYRA RELEASED HER VERSION MONTHS BEFORE SNSD DID. AND NOT TO MENTION THAT THE UZBEKISTANI VERION IS WAY BETTER.

SNSD fighting….
Hope they solve this

lmao. dey deff sound the same. dayumm.

i wonder how netizens do this.

like men its from Uzbekistan!?

how the hell did they found that song?

crazy.

Lol… I didn’t even know Uzbekistan had a music industry. What a surprise. Also, the Jessi-bitch thing is obviously a prank. The timing is just too coincidental, and it’s very unexpected. But funny nonetheless. Jessica can swear!

it’s just the same,, the whole song.. only lyrics.. is total different..
so erhmm.. unoriginal.. xD
but anyway.. I don’t care xP
don’t really like the song anywayy.. lol

sucking rumor!!

There’s no point to blame SNSD tho.I think both ver are good.

i wonder how netizens even found a Uzbekistani song. Do they even knoe where it is? It’s not like it’s got anything remotely close to Korean. Poor SNSD, 3 controversies in like 1 week ._.

I am amazed at the amount stupid kids commenting in this article, you should learn to read or stop being ignorant and actually READ the article. SM did not COPY anyone. SM bought the song off UMPG and was modified by some people and was given to SNSD. WAY before SNSD’s comeback their demo was LEAKED and was plagiarized by Dineyra’s company. And don’t forget to read the last paragraph.

haha that’s an odd thing to do on sum1’s bday. though i find it funny to see that from jessica. o god i hope they didn’t copy that song

snsd fighting!
since sm has the rights to the song and lyrics they are not at fault
but it looks bad on the girls because dineyra released the song “first”
too bad snsd’s song is better

jeez….a prank? i so do not believe.jessica’s expression should be laughing or something not full of hate…end snsd’s genie sound way better!!
