The police are investigating singer G-Dragon and YG General Producer Yang Hyun-suk for copyright law violations, while YG Entertainment has stated its position.
On the 13th, YG Entertainment said in an official statement, "The incident stemmed from the artist listing the titles of two songs with the same title on the setlist during a solo performance in 2009, and it is not a case of unauthorized reproduction of the album."
Previously, on the day before, the Seoul Mapo Police received a complaint from composer A, stating that G-Dragon and Yang Hyun-suk had reproduced his song without permission.
Composer A is reported to have claimed that Yang and G-Dragon reproduced his song "G-DRAGON" in April 2009 without permission, producing and distributing it as "Shine a light," and that they did not credit A's name while arbitrarily changing the song title to "My age, thirteen."
In response, the police have investigated the parties involved in the case and conducted a search of YG Entertainment's headquarters twice. However, YG denied the allegations, stating, "The incident stemmed from the artist listing the titles of two songs with the same title on the setlist, and it is not a case of unauthorized reproduction of the album."
