[News] Possible Plagiarism To DBSK's Mirotic; Venezuelan Group Zivao Released Full Track Of "Inside Your Skin"

We posted earlier about a Venezuelan group named Zivao who possibly plagiarize DBSK's Mirotic. As we have explained earlier, the group stated that they were just making a cover of the song.

But the concern of some fans is if they have all the legal rights to cover the song. The group (Zivao) already performed the song live on a show in Venezuela and also release the full track of the cover song titled "Inside Your Skin".

Live performance for Inside Your Skin:

Here's the full track of their cover song Inside Your Skin and they also left a message saying "We, Ziva is proud to sing a cover from the group DBSK and to our Latin version style. Thank you to your comments. Our style is a fusion of various genres."

Now the question is, will SM Entertainment take legal action to this case or just let it be cause somehow this is just a cover.

What do you think of this?

The guys from Ziva said,

"Everyone, We are not presenting this issue as a subject. It's a cover, we make no mistake. The only thing we did was change the lyrics because we also like DBSK and we want to bring Venezuela that style. We don't intend on plagiarizing anyone. We're just doing a cover of this issue to use in our repertoire. We want to bring them here in Venezuela and we are doing what is kpop - Ziva" (trans by: Ricardo Gazzette)

[News] U-Know Yunho’s Sister Reveals, “I Am A Woman Who Was Abandoned By My Brother”

The beautiful younger sister of TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho (Jung Yunho) has appeared on TV for the first time.

On SBS’ ‘Sweet Hometown Visit, Dalgona’, U-Know Yunho’s younger sister Jung Ji Hae said, “I am a woman who was abandoned by U-Know Yunho.”

According to Jung Ji Hae, the two were at a school festival at their elementary school where she gave the introduction and U-Know Yunho sang the final solo. After completing her task, she asked U-Know Yunho, “Where should I wait for you?” to which he replied, “Go wait in your classroom.”

But U-Know Yunho didn’t show up, no matter how long Jung Ji Hae waited. Three hours had passed before he reached the classroom completely out of breath. It was that he had forgotten about his sister and gone home.

Jung Ji Hae said, “Oppa, do you know how hungry, cold and sleepy I was? Because of that incident, I started to have a fear of classrooms,” and shouted, “U-Know Yunho, who abandoned his sister. Reflect upon your actions!”

U-Know Yunho seemed embarrassed by his sister’s outburst but said, “Honestly, I’m a really forgetful person. There are times when I make plans to meet up with people, and forget about them later. I forgot about my sister when she’s the one person I should never forget about,” and showed remorse by saying, “I started coming up to Seoul when I was still attending elementary school, so I didn’t get to see Ji Hae often. She’s always been pretty and tall ever since she was little, so I should have been there to protect her from other guys but I wasn’t.”

Lee Kikwang and Kim Hyun Joong’s beanies highlight their small faces, showing a cute image.

THEIR MANLY CHARISMA ON STAGE
Onstage, their manliness is very obvious while their charisma stronger than anyone else captivates their audience’s attention. Kim Junsu wears a big men’s necklace at his wide neckline, adding to his manly charisma and grandness. Yoon Doojoon pairs his long, oval face with a simple collar, adding to his handsome look. Whereas Lee Kikwang pairs a blue and white semi casual outfit with simple jewellery, showing a clean and crisp image.

Jewellery designer Kim Jeong Ju says, ” There is nothing better to highlight an artist’s charisma onstage besides jewellery. With the right pairings of jewellery and fashion, the audience can see different styles of manly charisma and a cute image better.
