Recently, the online community has been criticizing the song ‘242 (Shine)’, which was released under the name of roomer.
The reason why the song, released on the 21st of last month, is criticized is because suspicion of plagiarizing SHINee’s ‘1 of 1’released in 2016 was raised. In fact, if the two songs were played at the same time, the melody and beat were the same.
The more problematic part was the description of the song on the music site. ‘1 of 1’is “This title song ‘1 of 1’is a song of the New Jack Swing genre with a flavor of the 90s, and it is characterized by a sophisticated expression of the retro sensibility of a funky rhythm and soft R&B melody in a unique color of SHINee. “It was said.
However, ‘242 (Shine)’ also contained the sentence as it is. There was a slight difference in the back part, but the suspicion was deepened by the description of the song that was so identical.
In response, a netizen asked the rumors side, but received an answer saying that it was not plagiarism. They said, “There is a similarity between the rhythm and sound of the introduction, but in the case of the chords and melodies in the entire song, the original creativity of the song was acknowledged. It was confirmed that there was no copyright problem.” As soon as it becomes possible, we will make sure that we can process it as soon as possible, including the part you inquire.”
However, because of the similarity from the song title to the description of the song, the opinion that it is plagiarism is predominantly.
Currently, netizens are showing reactions such as “No, it’s the exact same level, but it’s not plagiarism?”, “This is almost a copied song”, “It’s a study level”, and “Who else is this singer.”
