Chapter 92 Chapter 92
Three days later, KPOP STAR and YG Entertainment jointly issued a statement: "Lover" was produced by YG producer Lia
Kim and contestant Kim Woo-chan co-wrote the song. The program deeply apologizes for any misunderstanding caused by the contestant's inaccurate wording during the performance. All proceeds from the song's source material will be donated to the Korea Children and Youth Music Development Foundation.
The funds will be used to support music education programs for disadvantaged youth. Lia Kim registered a personal Twitter account on the day the announcement was released and retweeted the announcement. YG's official account immediately followed and completed verification.
Less than 24 hours after the account was launched, the number of followers exceeded 100,000. The night the statement was released, the second elimination round of the show was being broadcast live.
This immediately caused an uproar, and related topics quickly climbed on social platforms, driving the live broadcast ratings up by several percentage points that night. Of course, the audience is not stupid. That night, on a forum, a person named "KPOP
The post "What do you think of STAR's co-creation?" has skyrocketed in popularity. The original poster, Cashi, posted a comparison of the melody of the "Lover" demo and the aired segment on the show, along with a screenshot of the statement.
Comments are refreshing rapidly—— 1L: What’s going on? ? Isn’t this GD’s demo? What does it have to do with Lia Kim? 2L: What do you mean, I’m following this because of GD
3L: I guess he saved a copy of Lia Kim's demo and accidentally released it 4L: I'm just a passerby, who is Lia Kim? Is she familiar with GD? 5L: Ah Xi,
I don’t want to explain it any more, if you don’t know, read this (Link: YG Producers Review, 2002-2010) 6L: Co-creation, do you really think everyone is stupid...kk
7L: The official explanation is there, why don't you believe it? 8L: I'm not trying to discredit anyone, but the idea that the producers and amateur contestants "co-created" the show is incredibly unlikely in reality. Especially during the competition phase of a show, the inherent imbalance in resources creates unfairness.
9L: I agree with the above. If this was truly a collaborative creation, why didn't the production team mention this at all beforehand? 10L: This is a complete conspiracy theory. Isn't this statement just bullying the contestants? The production team's negligence is making the contestants take the blame.
11L: Yucan is the favorite for the championship now. I'll treat all the comments in this thread as hired trolls hired by the opposing team. 12L: You've gone crazy chasing idols. He said he wrote the song himself. I'll go look for it...
13L: Is there anyone in the industry who can analyze this? 14L: Even if they're co-writing, isn't that unfair to the other contestants? Why help him and not others? 15L: Don't be so sarcastic, do other people need help when they can write songs?
16L: Ah Xi, the part that was said to be self-composed was edited out
17L: I think the official explanation is correct. Kim Woo-chan composed most of the song, so it is said to be his own composition. Lia helped him improve it, so it is also correct to say it was a joint creation.
18L: Jin Yucan’s fans are really arrogant. The most important chorus part is in the demo, and they even blew it. 19L: I’m a musician. Lia
I have met Kim before, and judging from the works she has signed so far, her writing and arranging abilities are very high. I don't know much about Kim Woo-chan, but I listened to his self-composed songs in the previous episodes, and they were very average. The melody of "Lover" is first-class, and the arrangement is third-class. I tend to think that the melody is Lia
Kim's, the arrangement is Kim Woo Chan's. 20L: What the above said makes sense. Kim Woo Chan's previous songs were all average, so it was Lia Kim who made this song better. 21L: As expected of YG, there are so many water army
22L: I think that makes sense... I don't listen to any of Kim Woo Chan's previous songs, but this is the only one I like. 23L: Wasn't it GD who caused the trouble? He just went invisible? 24L: ??? What happened to Guan Long?
25L: Please pay more attention to Bigbang's ALIVE GALAXY TOUR this year, take my dragon~ 26L: No, no one thinks it's good? Lia's demo is with GD, kk
27L: Wow~ I thought so too! I even suspected GD deliberately put it in the behind-the-scenes footage~
28L: I'm really impressed. Every time a woman shows up, you have to write a love story, right? The behind-the-scenes footage was already filmed, how could he know it would turn out like this?
29L: The filming was done first, but the video was released later. I don't believe that with GD's perfectionism, he would mistakenly release the demo. 30L: Please don't bring him up. Did you see a single mention of him in YG's statement? ? ?
31L: Am I the only one who thinks Jin Yucan is miserable? He is only in his early twenties... 32L: kkkk, is the person above playing the pity card? 33L: Lia Kim is the same year as him~
34L: YG's management of demos is too lax, a song of this level is leaked casually? 35L: No, look who is the biggest winner in this matter, it's Lia
Kim! He gained a ton of followers right after opening his account, enough for others to keep doing it for years~ 35L: Ah Xi, now that you mention it, it really is like that 36L: Is this all for popularity? Win-win for the production team and YG.
37L: The case is solved. Jin Yucan is the worst. Didn’t you see him laugh during the live broadcast tonight? 38L: It’s probably a joint hype. We are the only ones discussing it stupidly here. kk 39L: I was curious and searched Lia
Kim, she actually wrote several of last year's hit OSTs... 40L: Wow, "Midnight Train" is my favorite, and she actually wrote it?? How come no one mentioned it before!
41L: kkk do you think the producer will be famous? Normally no one cares about the signature. It takes this wave to be seen. 42L: So, Lia
Kim and Kim Woo-chan's creative abilities are simply at odds. If they create together, it can be considered as her targeted poverty alleviation. What are Kim's fans complaining about? 43L: YG spent money to hire a bunch of water armies to attack amateur contestants, and they are not allowed to complain?
44L: I'm really not a water army... 45L: My cousin is doing odd jobs in the program group. According to him, Lia
Kim is not only talented, but also humble and hardworking. Of the music directors assigned by the show, she's the favorite among the contestants. I'm rooting for her this time. 46L: YG should spend money on its artists. Why would they buy a "troll army" for her behind the scenes?
47L: It’s hard to say, what if she debuts later? 48L: The above person doesn’t know, she could have debuted hundreds of years ago, guess why she hasn’t debuted yet?
49L: I remember she was very popular in that YG talent show. 50L: Insider information: She was added to the cast of the YG special "Strong Heart" at short notice. 51L: What? When will the special be released? How come I didn't know about it?
52L: Although she didn't debut before, but now that 2NE1 is so popular, maybe she will come out again? 53L: So jealous... The songs she has released behind the scenes in recent years are of very high quality. How many people are lucky to have only one hit in their lifetime?
54L: +1, I checked it out of curiosity, it’s really awesome, worthy of being from YG 55L: It’s not bad for her to come out for activities, her face can also be used as an artist, kk
56L: Can the Infinite Challenge Music Season invite these three, GD, Lia, and Kim Woo Chan? 57L: Can you tell their level just by going there kkk 58L: You're thinking too much, is GD on the same level as them?
59L: You know what, doesn’t Infinite Challenge often invite niche musicians? 60L: Can GD respond? I’m so dizzy… 188L: Wow, wow, wow! !!! He actually responded!!!
189L: What? 190L: Can someone explain this? Dizzy 191L: Go check out GD's twitter 192L:? Nothing.
193L: It was deleted in seconds. It was a picture of handwritten English text, 'Co-writing Since when.' 194L: Wow... Is this saying that Kim Woo-chan plagiarized?
195L: Why are our Yucan fans silent? kkkk 196L: Has anyone taken a screenshot? I want to see it. 197L: I took a screenshot (attached: picture)
198L: My mind is a bit confused, who can help me sort it out... 199L: Jin Yucan copied Lia
Kim's demo, the production team and YG explained as a "co-creation" to keep things quiet. GD was furious, so he posted a status, but he couldn't argue with YG, so he deleted it shortly after. That's probably how it went.
200L: Ah Xi, eat well 201L: In this matter, only Jin Yucan has no voice channel
202L: I think the truth is basically out. I believe GD is on drugs but I don't believe he would accuse someone of plagiarism, after all, he himself has been slandered before... 203L: Upstairs, for a moment, it's hard to tell who's friend or foe...
204L: Although this is true, the words are too harsh. 202F 205L: If this is really the case, pity Lia for a second.
206L: kkk This is just the beginning, maybe Lia and Yucan will sing together in the next episode~ 207L: If that's true, then this production team is really crazy 208L: Watch it now, love it! ...
