JAKARTA - Bad news happened to IU. The South Korean singer is accused of plagiarizing many of the songs he released. Not only one song has been accused of plagiarism, starting from The Red Shoes, Good Day, Bbibbi, Pitiful, Boo, and Celebrity.

For this reason, reported by Soompi, IU was reported by someone to the Gangnam police station on suspicion of plagiarizing music. The person who did not want to be named accused IU of imitating intro another song for the six songs above.

"These six songs are very similar to the original songs in melodics, rhythms, and code progression, and in terms of songs like The Red Shoes, the similarities are clearly visible even in the public's ears. Especially, all 6 songs are suspected of plagiarizing intro," said the reporter.

The claim from the reporter is true that in 2013, when IU first released The Red Shoes, he was involved in accusations of plagiarism because the song is very similar to Here's Us belonging to the German band, Nekta.

The reporter then said that the IU did not respond well to the allegations. IU and his team chose to remove all charges on social media on the grounds of copyright infringement.

Regarding this accusation, the IU agency, EDAM Entertainment also opened its voice. They stated that they found accusations of plagiarism against IU from news articles and did not know about it before.

"We found today's news article, which claims we are accused of plagiarism by the police pending the progress of the investigation," said EDAM Entertainment.

"We have not been able to confirm the contents of the complaint mentioned in the media, and we are in the process of understanding it," he added.

However, the agency confirmed that the spread of false information against the artist was an illegal act. They stressed that they would take legal action against baseless accusations that harm the IU.

"Our agency intends to proceed with strong legal action without leniency in cases where criminal acts are committed. As has repeatedly posted slanderous and malicious content, or produced false information against artists," concluded the agency.
