When the new song "Sun" written by Jean So-yeon was released on the final stage of MBC 'Wish Upon the Pleiades' on the 27th of last month, suspicions were raised that the song was similar to group ETiz's song "WAVE" released in 2019 and the chorus Melody.
Meanwhile, some of the composers' lists of 'Sun' were revised, and the controversy increased.

I sincerely apologize to the composer, The Artist, and the fans for the confusion. I will pay more attention to it. I am sorry. "
