In the wake of recent claims that Jungkook\u2019s solo debut single \u201cSeven\u201d bore resemblances to a melody from Fin KL\u2019s \u2018Time of Mask,\u2019 released in 2000, BigHit Music has issued a statement rebuffing these allegations. The South Korean news website\u2019s report had raised concerns that the song shared a \u201cborrowed scale sequence\u201d from the older track.<\/p>\n
The solo single \u201cSeven\u201d was co-composed and written by Andrew Watt, Jon Bellion, Henry Walter, Theron Makiel Thomas, along with American rapper Latto. Addressing the copyright controversy, a representative from BigHit Music unequivocally dismissed the claims of plagiarism, stating, \u201cThe collaborative work \u2018Seven\u2019 was crafted by five overseas composers and stands as an independent creative endeavor. It is wholly unrelated to a song released 24 years ago in South Korea, as alleged.\u201d<\/p>\n
BigHit Music firmly underscored that the assertions made by the claimant lacked the necessary elements for determining copyright infringement, such as substantial similarities or originality. The agency\u2019s statement has categorically rejected the notion of any infringement taking place in the creation of \u201cSeven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fin KL\u2019s \u2018Time of Mask\u2019 is a track from the girl group\u2019s special album \u2018Special,\u2019 and it was composed by Yang Joon-young. The songwriter, Yang Joon-young, has reportedly submitted a request for an evaluation of the scale sequence shared between the two songs. This move suggests a potential legal course of action, with Hybe Labels producer involvement in assessing the similarities between the tracks.<\/p>\n
