Comedian Kim Kyung-wook, who performs under the alter ego Tanaka, said he had previously complained of music theft by a Chinese music company and recently revealed that he regained ownership of the song.
Earlier, Kim Kyung-wook claimed in October last year on social media that the song he participated in, 'Good night, miss,' had been registered as a Chinese track, causing an ownership dispute. He said, "I confirmed a situation where the original song ownership was forcibly transferred when a Chinese music company rearranged a famous song and registered it on a platform," and expressed his frustration. Fans were equally taken aback.
In a video posted on the YouTube channel "Zzanbro" on the 30th, Kim Kyung-wook appeared and directly described the subsequent developments of the case. Referring to the hit song 'Good night, miss,' Kim Kyung-wook mentioned that he had posted on social media in frustration, "Japan says it's a Korean song, Korea says it's a Japanese song," and "In the meantime, on a Chinese music site, 'Good night, miss' was stolen, and my copyright was taken," He said Kim Kyung-wook said, "After I complained it was unfair, they moved quickly and I got the ownership back," and gave a recent update.
Kim Kyung-wook said, "It actually took four to five years for Tanaka to take off, and Crush opened the door," and added, "Tanaka's job is part of Japan's nightlife culture and is unfamiliar in Korea as a 'host' job, and Crush opened the door by saying that during his COVID self-quarantine, 'my only content that didn't make me feel lonely was Tanaka,'" and expressed his gratitude.
In response to Kim Kyung-wook, Shin Dong-yeob said, "He knows the annoying details that bother people," and Kim Kyung-wook replied, "The character Tanaka is an old-school style friend; pretending to be cool as a host was annoying," adding, "I didn't think it was cool, but I was angry that he made money, so I once teased him and created Tanaka in 2018," sharing the backstory of the character's creation and saying, "I always respect him, but that's where the idea starts." Sayuri said, "Tanaka was popular in Japan too and appeared on many famous programs," and Tanaka responded, "I'll fight harder."
Meanwhile, Kim Kyung-wook has gained great popularity with the alter ego Tanaka, a concept portraying a worker in Japan's nightlife industry. The hit song 'Good night, miss' was also released with YouTuber Nimmol Cash and drew attention. As music distribution through overseas platforms expands and similar copyright disputes are raised, Tanaka announced the resolution of the issue, saying, "Now I have regained ownership." Fans were reassured by the update that Tanaka protected his rights through swift action.<
