SECRET & SuJu's Heechul responds to accusations of 'self-plagiarism'

On March 9th, SECRET's Sunhwa and Song Ji Eun guested on MBC's "Radio Star" and addressed accusations claiming that "Madonna" was a carbon copy of "Magic". The girls performed "Magic" and "Madonna" in a hit track battle against SISTAR. Afterwards, they were asked by the MCs,"Aren't they both the same song?�Even the choreography is the same. What exactly is different about them?" Sunhwa explained, "Both songs are the works of the same composer. The choreography is also the same." When asked by MC Kim Gura about whether she was embarrassed at all by the similarities, Sunhwa replied, "Not at all.�We thought of it as our own unique color, so we were very proud." The talk of 'self plagiarism' then shifted attention over to MC Super Junior's Kim Heechul.�The idol MC was asked about the similarities between "Sorry Sorry" and "Bonamana," to which he confessed, "Both tracks were composed by Yoo Young Jin.�'Sorry Sorry' was #1 on the Taiwanese charts for 38 weeks in a row, so 'Bonamana' was like an extension of 'Sorry Sorry.'" Since MC Yoon Jong Shin is also a composer, he was asked to share his thoughts on the issue. "It's their own song so it shouldn't be a problem.�I do think that they consciously composed it like that since the previous track had done so well." Source: TV Report via Nate
