so hot
Netizens are claiming that the song has very similar keyboard instrumentals, but JYP Entertainment has stated otherwise, "So Hot was not sampled and is an original composition by Park Jin Young."
Unfortunately for JYP, netizens aren't buying it, as the 2007 hit song 'Tell Me', was sampled from Stacy Q's, Two of Hearts.
I've always been a huge fan of 80's music and it's good to see Korea is finally catching on. And while we're on the topic of 80's music, Boom Boom (Let's go back to my room) is the perfect song to win Yoobin over. I KNOW, I KNOW, I'M SO FREAKING ROMANTIC.
The Wonder Girls will be making a comeback on the 31st via MBC Music Core.

i like the song ‘SO HOT’ but since i’ve learnt that it’s YET another copy from some 80’s tunes....
huh
May 28, 2008 - 11:36 AM
my yoobin is looking gooooood
May 28, 2008 - 11:53 AM
ewwwww… see if he would’ve just came out and said that it was sampled, he could be understood. But by lying about it and claiming that it’s all his own, that only makes him seem like a slimy cheater. Make your own music guy and stop stealing from great 80s songs!
May 28, 2008 - 11:58 AM
That kind of sucks. A lot of people think JYP is like this music genius, but he just samples other songs.
OH WELL.
May 28, 2008 - 12:08 PM
^he is a musical genius -_- . “The House that you live in” is sick.
And he didnt steal it. Everybody is inspired by what they’ve already heard.
May 28, 2008 - 12:12 PM
haha your “I KNOW I KNOW” line reminds me of something Stewie from Family Guy would say… or Peter.
May 28, 2008 - 12:17 PM
Oh please ~ if every country had netizens like Korean ones then EVERY single song out there could have been sampled from somewhere…
May 28, 2008 - 12:30 PM
When the sounds seem obvious, how can we blame netizens?
May 28, 2008 - 01:02 PM
Actually the song “ so hot “ by da wonder girls and Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics do actuly sound simliar to my surprise so maybe he did copy it
Oh wel I still Like the wodner girls so anwys xD
May 28, 2008 - 01:02 PM
How coul that face not win against Boa?? ah~~
I listened to both songs and not even similar.
Plus JYP is a savvy business man, so he won’t risk
to get sued like that. Especially since the girla are starting to get more recognition.. He isn’t the richest music entrepeur for nothing. would’ve said so if he sapled the song. Nobody
had asked him anything and he came ut and said that he sampled
“Tell Me"…
Haters get a life
May 28, 2008 - 01:25 PM
^
yeah, makes sense. I doubt JYP would risk it. Plus SO HOT’s style is very similar to the other songs on Wondergirls’ first album.
May 28, 2008 - 01:32 PM
not surprised! at all the song already was being compared to other songs as well anywho JYP should be happy that he isnt being sued...yet.
May 28, 2008 - 01:41 PM
JYP gave credits to “two of hearts”.. i remember in all the charts it said “sampled from Two of HEarts”...so i think hes credible
May 28, 2008 - 01:44 PM
iknew this…
well..if JYP loves to “copy” y doesn’t he just revise the music a bit and then jst write originated from _)(*&^%$#@!~...then he won’t have all these articles about plagiarism…
May 28, 2008 - 01:49 PM
oh plus..his songs are sick..and u watch the mv’s...its just...(ER>>)sirsly...well...it might be okay for the american ppl..cuz sometimes they have lyk..videos tht aren’t really appropriate...but in korea we don’t do thos kind of mvs. we do appropriate stuff or funnny stuff most of the time..but jyp...er..no...if u watch “kiss”..its disgusting…
May 28, 2008 - 01:57 PM
So Hot doesn’t sound like Sweet Dreams. are you guys deaf? yea, the keyboarding does have some similar notes, but it’s totally different.
May 28, 2008 - 02:08 PM
um..it does...you need to listen to it carefully…
and watch this vid..and u will see something…

May 28, 2008 - 02:23 PM
johnny likes yoobin now? LOL taste is improving xP jkjkjk
i know both the songs (i actually remember the 80s and its music cuz i was around then LMAO) and I don’t really hear it… It could be similarish but its far from gdragon territory!
May 28, 2008 - 02:24 PM
If JYP sampled “Tell Me,” then what makes people think “So Hot” wasn’t sampled as well? He should’ve just said it was sampled (like “Tell Me") instead of making a big mess and saying the beat was completely his own…
May 28, 2008 - 02:26 PM
i don’t quite understand how it’s copying cus i play 2 instruments, the violin and the piano, when a note is flat/sharp, it means it’s a different note. the songs were similar but not similar enough to make me go oh this sounds like ...
May 28, 2008 - 02:37 PM
this is bullshit. JYP has always given credit when it’s due.
Every song on this planet has some kind of similary with another song. That’s a given. Some netizen even said it sampled 13 songs? 13 songs? are you crazy, netizen?
May 28, 2008 - 02:55 PM
Is this a surprise to anyone? Korea is the copy capital. The whole industry is a copy of either the US or Japan....
Oh and people really need to figure out the diff between inspired and copied. For instance, inspiration does not = ‘ooooh it sounds sooo good! Let’s give our brains a break and copy it!”
I know that’s a hard concept, but let’s try it, shall we?
May 28, 2008 - 02:55 PM
Yoobin is ... hot!! ^^
May 28, 2008 - 03:06 PM
Sorry but I don’t believe it. I saw him in NYC and he’s a great performer. “KISS” is a damn good song. Netizens need something to hate about.
May 28, 2008 - 03:14 PM
well at lest its not total copy like some other?????.....
and music is never original!!!!!!.....ahah…
the 80’s music is the best too!!!!!....well we know JYP knows good music....
May 28, 2008 - 03:15 PM
bleh, i don’t like Wondergirls anyway
May 28, 2008 - 03:49 PM
nooooooooo, my wondergirls!! </3
May 28, 2008 - 03:49 PM
At first it sound like it’s copy, but if you look at how they sing “So Hot” and how “Sweet Dreams” is sing then you listen to the rhythm it’s different. If you listen to “Tell Me” then listen to “Two of Hearts” they way they sing it, it’s similar or shall i say the only thing different from “Tell Me” and “Two of Hearts” is the lyrics. While “So Hot” and “Sweet Dreams” , they might sound alike because it sound like 80’s style but everything else. Nothing. *shrugs*
May 28, 2008 - 03:50 PM
*listen not look* -__-
May 28, 2008 - 03:55 PM
^ That confused me lmao You know for a minute I thought I wrote that cuz I use the name Rin at Popseoul lol (WTF is wrong with me?)
Anyway, I kinda agree. The rhythm is different but I still see similarities in the songs nonetheless and JYP didn’t make it any better by taking full credit for it. Even if the beat for “So Hot” was totally original, he should’ve just said he sampled it to get people off his back. Sometimes you gotta lie to protect your rep. I don’t think he’s a bad person, he’s just extremely cocky…
May 28, 2008 - 04:21 PM
@boshi noi
i dont like wonder girls either >.<
May 28, 2008 - 04:36 PM
wondergirls suck and yoobin sounds like she smokes the hell out of some cigarettes.
May 28, 2008 - 04:40 PM
wait...korea actually cares? the land where everything is either sampled or outright stolen...cares?!
May 28, 2008 - 04:47 PM
wtf...fuck off chikepai
May 28, 2008 - 04:49 PM
Did you guys forget that JYP got sued for copying Final Fantasy in Ivy’s music video?
May 28, 2008 - 04:52 PM
really??? i didn’t noe…
May 28, 2008 - 04:55 PM
wat did he copy??
May 28, 2008 - 05:02 PM
http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/news_rumors_full/ivy_receives_another_beating/
Not sure if it was JYP who composed that track though....
May 28, 2008 - 05:08 PM
^ OH YEAH! and they didn’t get the proper rights to copy that video or somethimg! I forgot all about that lol That makes me wonder if JYP really DID copy then =/
May 28, 2008 - 05:19 PM
STOP WONDERING IF HE COPIES OR NOT AND LISTEN TO THE TWO SONGS AND COMPARE THEM YOURSELVES.
Jesus. Beside using the same instrument, there’s really not much similarities between the two beats. If they brought this to court, JYP would win.
May 28, 2008 - 05:21 PM
P.S. E.L.F. is a retard.
May 28, 2008 - 05:23 PM
WHAT"S all with this copying thing!!!! anyway one things for sure WHEN koreans copy something they can make it a HIT....
JEWELRY made a korean version of “one more time” sung by in-grid in 2005
and then there is big bang they did not copy but then they got inspirations from other singers which i can say still is unoriginal
then now wondergirls....uuuuuurrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!
I love big bang..but it’s just a reality check..
May 28, 2008 - 05:26 PM
I did listen to the two songs (duh) The rhytm is different but something else about it makes them similar. I don’t think it’s copying though. Maybe just slight sampling? Probably a coincidence or w/e.
May 28, 2008 - 05:29 PM
Dear Loco_Roco
“Even if the beat for “So Hot” was totally original, he should’ve just said he sampled it to get people off his back. Sometimes you gotta lie to protect your rep. I don’t think he’s a bad person, he’s just extremely cocky…”
you too are a gigantic retard.
May 28, 2008 - 05:33 PM
is jyp dude a looser or wat???!!!!.....
make ur own originall music....such a cheaterr....
May 28, 2008 - 05:35 PM
hey layla, answer me honestly, do you even have a mind of your own? Are your thoughts original? or do you depend on other people to think for you?
May 28, 2008 - 05:42 PM
Dear Shikashikashu
Lay off the decaf. You’ll live longer.
May 28, 2008 - 05:57 PM
Shouldn’t it be lay off the caffeine?
May 28, 2008 - 06:00 PM
^ There we go. lmao Thanks. ^^
But I stand by what I said.
I love that dog from “Duck Hunt” btw lol
May 28, 2008 - 06:10 PM
Dear Loco_Roco
Lay off the retardation. You’ll definitely live longer.
