[Kimberly Lipington]

Awww right when miss a start to go down I the charts.

[Dream Boy]

I still see it on Melon.

 

They just announced though? So it should fall on the next update. Or maybe the stream will keep it up there since Melon's chart is based on Sales + Streaming.

Sounds like a court case is brewing.

Seems so or else they wouldn't take this drastic measure. It's saddening, but I'm glad that it wasn't buried.

[Shithead]

Bitch is still trying to act like he didn't plagiarize in his retarded statement.

Sounds like a court case is brewing. 

 

Since the producers of the show are the one who stopped the sales, I think they just don't want to be involved in any further issues. Their main intention of the music festival was for fun and charity, so of course they're not gonna put an alleged plagiarized song up, it gives the impression that the show encourages plagiarism. I think they're just taking measures for the sake of the show's image.

'bout damn time.

[cupcakes]

It's still on Melon though...?

[CookieCrisp]

Hmm interesting but they took too long

[I.K.A]

Park Myungsoo also participate in the press release or just Primary?

I really want to know Park Myungsoo reaction for this issue..

[CORN21]

PMS cant perform this song anymore in future..like previous songs he did lol

[Claudia]

But it's still #1 on Melon and it's been hours since this announcement? Are they still allowed to stream? 

 

Seems as though this case might be more serious than previous plagiarism accusations. 

[cupcakes]

I Got C is finally removed from online sites (no longer on Melon)

[Someone actually]

I read this too quickly and assumed that this was about the kpop group Infinite's L (aka Myungsoo).

 

Good luck to Primary. Seems he has a streak in plagiarism.
