1. [+308, -8] Why do people keep bringing it up when Big Hit already said there’s no issue?
2. [+167, -3] So here’s the official response. Funny how everyone was so quiet when BTS was ranking #1 on the Hot 100 but everyone comes out in swarms to hate when there’s a negative piece of news. Let’s please not be like this.
3. [+142, -2] Our country will always ignore anything worth congratulating while writing up useless articles like this…
4. [+143, -6] Most top famous artists will spend over a month on making sure all copyrights are squared away. ‘Butter’ has been #1 on the Billboard for seven weeks in a row and people are trying to tack on all these controversies to them.
5. [+103, -9] Love how the media chooses to be quiet on good news but any sniff of negativity, something that’s not even controversial, gets put out with a clickbait title ㅋㅋ I laugh at how transparent their intentions are ㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+83, -0] This isn’t a case of plagiarism because the melody line in question in both songs were composed by the same composer. Sure, it may be controversial for the composer to have sold the same melody to BTS and Luca but the copyright itself belongs to the composer. It could’ve been considered plagiarism if the composers were different but it’s the same person. It’s fair to hate on the composer for selling the melody twice ㅋ
7. [+44, -0] How about you all direct this hate to NCT who posted on SNS a message supporting China
8. [+42, -0] Annoying how it’s already been established that it’s not plagiarism but the media is still headlining it as if it is
9. [+29, -0] People are so desperate to take BTS down. Does it make you that jealous that BTS is doing well, you pathetic cowards?
10. [+18, -0] Never miss with these two figures in our country: BTS and Kim Yuna!!
