Singer You Hee-yeol, who is caught up in the suspicion of plagiarism, is disappointed with the public with his poor position to the end.
You Hee-yeol's allegations of plagiarism date back to the 14th of last month. You Hee-yeol, who was suspected of being similar to Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Aqua" on the second track of the "You Hee-yeol's Life Music" project, admitted that he had to admit plagiarism through SNS.
The aftermath was thick. After that, several songs that You Hee-yeol made were caught up in suspicion of plagiarism. Especially, the dance, title, and lyrics of the song, which was pointed out as the original song, overlap, and the reaction was that it was not intentional plagiarism. However, Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "Although there are similarities between the two songs, it is not necessary to take any legal action to protect the Aqua." You Hee-yeol did not mention other plagiarism allegations.
The public opinion was heinous in the way of You Hee-yeol, who blocked his eyes and blocked his ears. However, You Hee-yeol strongly participated in KBS2 'You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook' without clear recognition or self-sustaining.
As the suspicion of Yuyamuya was about to pass, the domestic Music industry poured bitter voices about this incident and the controversy was caught again. Resurrection Kim Tae-won appeared on MBC '100 Minutes Debate' on May 5, saying, "The eight words are the same without disturbing." Im Jin-mo, a Music critic, said, "It is a shame to objectively talk about conscience and intention."
Nevertheless, You Hee-yeol carried out his activities. Although the public opinion on getting off the "You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" was even more intense, You Hee-yeol did not take any stand.
On the 18th, Mr. A, who publicly raised the suspicion of plagiarism of You Hee-yeol, said, "I confirmed that You Hee-yeol's old fan was boldly trying to manipulate public opinion."
" (Ichi Sakamoto, who runs the Korean fan club, is making a public opinion by saying that he is qualified as a Korean agent of Ryuichi Sakamoto," he said. "He mentioned in You Hee-yeol's private fan cafe that he is an it-Music creative operator and is a real fan of You Hee-yeol.
Mr. A also revealed that he had contacted Ryuichi Sakamoto Office directly. According to Ryuichi Sakamoto Office, "We have never given them the authority to comment for Ryuichi Sakamoto in Korea, as well as anyone in Korea." When his company released a private message to You Hee-yeol to the Korean media without our approval, we did not welcome such action. I asked him not to do that without our approval," he said.
In the end, You Hee-yeol took his position again. You Hee-yeol said, "I am tired of the controversy related to me for a long time and once again I sincerely apologize."
However, he said, "I have a difficult part to agree with the plagiarism allegations raised now. Many of the suspicions that come up are their own views and interpretations, but it is hard for me to accept them. "
The netizens are saying, "It is shameless to the end." It is pointed out that the subject who was pointed out to have plagiarized is entitled to agree. It is a reaction that it is absurd to publicly disclose that You Hee-yeol will not agree with the situation where the similarity is so strong that experts acknowledge it.
You Hee-yeol, who had missed several golden times even though there was a controversy, was thrown away by a cowardly excuse.
