IU 'The Red Shoes' Plagiarism controversy New phase .. Nectar "IU and agency do not contact, Korean music industry reputation damage"

Nordend Entertainment Publishing, the official music publisher that released the music "HEARS Earth" (Here's Us) through Nectar and the project, recently announced its long-running official position, referring to some local media outlets. Norden Entertainment Publishing said, "We were surprised to hear that we had made clear the issue of 'copyright infringement' by contacting us or Nectar. This is not true. To date, no official representative of IU or Loen Entertainment Edam Entertainment Corp. Entertainment has contacted us; they have not responded to our multiple contacts." Nectar is an artist from Germany who released 'HEARS Earth' in 2009 and has been accused of plagiarism with IU.

" Taken together, they attempted to contact the IU twice, in 2013 when "The Red Shoes" was released and last month, but did not receive a response. However, producer Cho Young-chul, who produced IU's recordings at the time, said on December 12, "I saw an article that German band Nectar contacted me about plagiarism but did not receive any answers. At that time, Nectar's legal representative sent an e-mail to Loen, and Loen and Loen's legal representative replied and sent e-mails and letters confirming the basic facts, but they did not reply anymore. The e-mails and official documents sent at the time will remain in the former company and the law firm, "Nectar said. In addition, the IU side is a song that is completely different from the song "Melody", "Melody" and "Melody" can be heard similarly, but the second part of "Melody" and "Melody" can be heard similarly, but the second part of "Melody" and "Melody" can be heard similarly, "he said.
