Ouch! My ears!

Sick of Gangnam Style? You're about to hear it a lot more. (The main riff at least.)

Do you think YG will be able to sue them over this?

I can imagine an SMTown music exec telling a song writer, "Gangnam style is the most popular Korean song of all time. Make something like that."

Post lawsuit: "I said make something LIKE that, not the same damn thing!"

Depends on how much of the song has the same riff, and if there isn't some agreement before hand. Perhaps it's the same writer, or they bought the rights, or giving agreed upon credit.

Isn't that riff lifted from Psy's follow up to Gagnam Style, which was itself a rip off of a Brown Eyed Girls' 'song'?

GG is a done deal, they are getting to old for the K-pop idol game. Their music style reflects their age since they debuted in 2007. I don't see how they can compete now with all these other cookie cutter girl groups now.

LOL. A grown adult who knows the date that a particular k-pop group was formed. Confused

It's just sad.

Somewhat relevant.

On Facebook, Linus Kim from Linus BBQ recently wrote:
So this was found on a Korean Job site..
and I got a real kick out of it..
Someone trying to poach employees to recreate my menu.

Roughly translated it says: "For hire, someone with Foreign southern style BBQ Experience...like the menu at Itaewon's Linus' BBQ."

Gosh the offer sounds so good... tempted to apply myself..

Go Korea! ^^


He included a picture of the ad as well. I really hope he applies for the job.
