This month’s poll has to do with a very big issue in the world of Korean Pop.
I tend to think a lot of people are just being drama queens about the whole thing. I may be a bit biased because I come from the producer side of the business but it’s an accepted fact that others are going to be inspired from what they listen to. If they happen to borrow from popular songs it’s okay as long as they get approval to do so.
Just because two songs sound very similar or some CD covers look the same doesn’t mean that the plagiarism card should be played right away. That’s what I think, what about you?
