[ASKKPOP] JYPE express thanks for the homage in HyunA's 'From When and Until When' lyrics, but ask for prior notice next time

JYP Entertainment responded to the issue surrounding the extremely similar lyrics found in one of HyunA's new songs "From When and Until When" and their former artist g.o.d's "The Reason Why Opposites Attract" (which was released under JYPE).



As mentionedbefore, it was discovered that HyunA's song include a portion of lyrics that are exactly the same as a portion found in g.o.d's past hit song with the exception of one word. With questions rising regarding possible plagiarism, BTOB's Hyunsik, the composer and co-lyricist of the song, tweeted that the lyrics were meant as a homage to g.o.d and that there were no bad intentions.


A JYP Entertainment rep told MyDaily on the 30th that although they are thankful about the homage, they hope a prior agreement will be made ahead of time in the future. "We are thankful for the homage. However, we would like to receive prior notice next time,"the rep said.


Hopefully something like this will be discussed beforehand to prevent any misunderstandings in the future!
