Ok this is nuts, we have the Korean media jumping on plagerizism actuations (they picked up on Korean netizens saying “Fire” is plagiarized) and the Chinese media seems to jumping to Han Geng’s defense.
See below:
Chinese Media:
Recent rumours of plagiarism has not affected the sales of the album, in contrast, the album was quickly sold out upon release. “Fire”, produced by Adizai, is a superb original piece of music in both the musical quality and the MV imagery, completely different from the song Korean Media calls “plagiarized”, the plagiarizing rumors falls apart effortlessly in front the truth of the quality of the music piece.

Korean Media:
The song ‘Checkmate’ is said to be written and composed by UKnow YunHo and it has received positive reviews even though it was not performed on broadcast.
Netizens comment, “Does he have no conscious plagiarising and promoting the song in China?”, “I don’t know about others, but the interlude sounds the same”, “I think he needs to apologise officially about the plagiarism” etc.

More About Plagiarism:
Courts and juries have a difficult time determining when unlawful copying has occurred. One thing the plaintiff must show is that the alleged plagiarist had access to the copyrighted work. Such evidence might include a showing that the plaintiff sent the work to the defendant in an attempt to sell it or that the work was publicly available and widely disseminated.
Once access is proven, the plaintiff must show that the alleged plagiarism is based on a substantial similarity between the two works. In Abkco Music, Inc. v. Harrisongs Music, Ltd., 722 F.2d 988 (2d Cir 1983), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found “unconscious” infringement by the musician George Harrison, whose song “My Sweet Lord”was, by his own admission, strikingly similar to the plaintiff’s song, “He’s So Fine.” Establishing a substantial similarity can be quite difficult as it is essentially a subjective process.
Not every unauthorized taking of another’s work constitutes plagiarism. Exceptions are made under copyright law for so-called fair use, as in the case of quoting a limited portion of a published work or mimicking it closely for purposes of Parody and satire. Furthermore, similarity alone is not proof of plagiarism. Courts recognize that similar creative inspiration may occur simultaneously in two or more people.
Fanwars/bashing/etc that is bad will be deleted.
