[KPOP] Netizens Acuse CN Blue of More Plagiarism

OMG seriously? Netizens went way too far with this one (like many other times). ‘Y, Why…’ came out on their second Japanese mini album on November 25th, 2009. Like they were really planning on copying YNot all the way back then. >.< I feel sorry for them. T_T

Only hours have past since the album-title controversy has surfaced over the web, and it doesn’t look like it’s getting any better. Well this time, it’s a song title.

After discovering the shocking similarities between the two titles between Bluetory and Blue Bird by CNBLUE and Ynot, various netizens have brought up another accusation against FNC Music, CNBLUE’s agency. The third song of CNBLUe’s Bluetory album is entitled Y, Why…. Coincidentally or not, ‘Ynot’ and ‘Y, Why…’ not only both include the letter Y in the title, but they are used identically to define the word ‘Why’. Neither side of the conflict has yet to bring up any statements toward this accusation.

In my opinion, the number of plagiarism accusations that have been made regarding these two fellow indie bands is becoming ridiculous. Although it’s pretty common for artists to condense a word into a single letter (for example, U Got It Bad by Usher) to bring out the crafty effect in their titles, after being pointed out for numerous other “coincidences” CNBLUE had in relations to Ynot, no excuses seem like they will get FNC Music out of trouble now.

It’s disappointing to see such a talented band getting swamped by issues with their company that have nothing to do with the members’ talents. Do you think this accusation was taking it a step too far or are the netizens on to something this time?

[KPOP] All CN Blue members like noonas?

Aw, I’m younger than all of them. D:

The CN Blue members, who are sweeping the charts in less than 2 weeks of their debut, stated that they all prefer older women.

On the second of February at 12pm, on Choi HwaJung’s Power Time radio, the DJ asked them if they are more attracted to older or younger women to find out their personal styles, and all the members replied, “older women.”

Lee JungShin stated, “People who are younger than me I think won’t be able to lead me, so I’m a bit scared about that.” Lee JongHyun replied, “Maybe it’s because all the women I have dated until now was older, I think my ideal girl is someone sophisticated that I lean on to.”

Kang MinHyuk said, “I like noonas because I have a sister and since I don’t have that much money, I like noonas that buys me yummy things.” The leader Jung YongHwa stated, “Actually I don’t really mind older or yonger women, but I will choose older women for our teamwork.”

[KPOP] CN Blue at Hong JinKyung’s Cool FM!

eeeeep~ CN Blue~ 😀 Ah, sorry, fangirl moment. ^^ MinHyuk is so far my favorite member, but the all time favorite goes to the ex-member KwangJin.

He was there for the first couple of months when they debut in Japan, then he suddenly left and JungShin replaced him. Not complaing though, I like JungShin too~. But i miss KwangJin T_T. Hopefully he’ll return soon! (Maybe with ex-FT Islander WonBin? Hopefully!)

Anyway! Back on topic!!

CN Blue appeared on Hong JinKyung’s Cool FM on the 5th of Febuary. They performed own songs ‘Love Reveloution’, ‘Loner’, while JongHyun and YongHwa did a cover of ‘Drive’ by Incubus.

Vids are under the cut!

[KPOP] CN Blue’s Bluetory Means Blue Bird?

Wow, coincidence much? Oh well, that “plagiarized” song is topping the charts anyway. I hope it’ll continue like that and not hurt the boys in the future.

The new group CN Blue is swept in the tides again with the fact that they have also copied the album title from Ynot after the song as well. Currently, CN Blue is in fight against the copyright issues with the song ‘Blue bird’ from the group Ynot. The rhythm pattern and the melody of the chorus matching in the two songs was the cause of it.
According to Ynot, they stated that FNC Music, the management company for CN Blue, asked the composers Kim DoHoon and Lee SangHo to apologize about the matter, but it the issue seemed to be calming down solely because there hasn’t been any more actions from CN Blue.

However, the netizens are raising the matter once again by claiming that CN Blue’s album title ‘Bluetory’ actually means ‘Blue bird’. According to these netizens, ‘Bluetory’ is a mix up with the word “blue” and “tory” which means “bird” in Japanese.

CN Blue’s management, FNC Music replied that the album title ‘Bluetory’ was purely made up by the president of the company and that it represents CN Blue with the “blue” and the pure Korean word “tory.” They also added that “tory” stands for the “music specialty that each area has” and ‘Bluetory’ in general means that “CN Blue will be showing their own color in the music industry.”
