Rain denies plagiarism accusations for "Busan Woman"

Posted by limabean170 pt Tuesday, August 23, 2011

Singer Rain has recently been hit with plagiarism accusations for his recent song "Busan Woman." Through a phone call with TV Report, an associate of Rain said, "We know about the plagiarism controversy on the internet pertaining to similarities between Raphael Saadiq's 'Detroit Girl' and Rain's 'Busan Woman'. If you look at the chord progressions, ours is a 4 tempo beat while 'Detroit Girl' is a 2 tempo beat. However, I understand why there would be a misunderstanding because in general, the Neo-Soul genre gives off a similar feel. The introduction and bridge parts are alike, but I'll say it once more: it is not plagiarized. Also, the song is not part of an album. It was a song revealed for a fan event so we are simply overwhelmed by this controversy." Rain himself stated, "I know that there is a controversy. However, it's not plagiarism." His side of the issue stated, "If it is accused of plagiarism just from the chord progressions, a significant number of existing music would also be plagiarized." Source: TV Report via Nate
