Singer G-Dragon has come under suspicion of violating copyright laws, and the Korea Music Copyright Association has stated its position.
Previously, the Mapo Police Station in Seoul received a complaint from composer A in November of last year, alleging that G-Dragon and Yang Hyun-suk reproduced his song without permission and launched an investigation.
A has been reported to claim that G-Dragon and Yang reproduced his composition in April 2009, producing and distributing it as 'Shine a light' while changing the title to '내 나이 열셋' without displaying A's name.
In response, police have conducted investigations of related parties and reportedly searched the headquarters of YG Entertainment and the offices of the Korea Music Copyright Association.
The Korea Music Copyright Association stated on the 14th, "We have never been subjected to a police investigation. This is not true." Additionally, on that day, one media outlet reported that G-Dragon is merely the performer of the song and is not listed as the copyright holder, drawing attention.
In relation to this, YG Entertainment stated on the 13th, "The incident occurred when the artist indicated the titles of two songs with the same name on the setlist during a solo performance in 2009; it is not an unauthorized reproduction of the album."
