Hankyung, having temporarily left his former group super junior, is currently pursuing a solo career in China. He has released a string of new songs and his recent song Fire is receiving heavy criticism because it sounds similar to a song called Checkmate sung by DBSK back in 2009. The song Checkmate was written by Uknow himself, and even though they did not promote it, the song received great reviews. People are saying Do you not have a conscience plagiarizing in China, I don’t want to believe its plagiarized, to From Korean standards, it is not considered plagiarism.
Now what do I think is going to happen? Well, I believe his company or he himself is going to come out with a formal apology. However, I do not think SM Entertainment is going to press charges. Why do I think this? Hankyung is SME’s door to the Chinese music industry, and he is from China. His people are going to be standing right behind him no matter what. If SME tried to sue, or whatever they could do, people in China would be furious and would take no interest if SM artists decide to move into the Chinese market which basically equals to no $$$$, and by the end of the day, that is all that matters.
wait who did he plagiarize? uknow’s song?kkk i never knew uknow produces songs kkkkkkkkkkkkkkand funny how hankyung will even use it to plagiarze hahah was it worth it? hehe
