The word on the web amongst netizens is that track one off of Brian's new album, "Component Of Tears", has been plagiarized. Off of what? A melody called "Drew Ryan Scott" off of a Youtube video that surfaced about two years ago.
Netizens are saying, "The songs are so similar that I thought it was the same song!", "Isn't this too obvious of a plagiarism?", "I'd believe it if you said this was a remake of the same song!".
Brian's reps are saying that this is news to them and that they will look into the matter.
The current accusations follow the release of Brian's new mini-album "Unveiled", featuring the title song "Loved But It Ended". It was released on April 7th.
So I searched for the two songs and I listened to Brian's Domino in english version and Drew Ryan Scott which happen to have the same title song called "Domino" too.
Updating!
So a friend of mine informed me that Brian Joo didn't plagiarize any thing. Brian Joo's company legally had the song from Drew Ryan Scott. It was also properly credited on Brian's album. Brian Joo also clarified this issue and explained it into his twitter.
SO CLEAR! NO PLAGIARIZING HAPPENED! Peace!
Thanks Lisa (Wacky Cashew) for the tip!
