[ASKKPOP] Roy Kim under another plagiarism controversy for 'Spring Spring Spring'

Back in August 2013 afterRoy Kimreleased his song "Spring Spring Spring", the song had went under fire for beingvery similar to Acoustic Rain's "Love is Canon".


Although that situation had passed, it's been now revealed that Roy Kim is under fire once again. ComposerKim Hyung Yongfiled a suit against the singer, claiming that Roy Kim plagiarized his song "From the Landscape of the Lord". The composer toldOSEN, "After Roy Kim's 'Spring Spring Spring' was released, I had suspicions and downloaded the sheet music. I was able to confirm that it had an identical melody to the song I made in July 2012 that I did not release. I proved this to the court through files such as the emails I've sent to the producer, and I entered the suit after legal examination. Currenlty, the copyright committee is reviewing the suit."



However,CJ E&Mare flustered by the suit, explaining, "The song by the composer who filed the suit was not even registered, and never even released. He's insisting that his sheet music was leaked and we plagiarized it. We're taking measures through our lawyer, and we're looking forward to the court bringing a rational sentence."
