Mystic Story Producer And Composer Of IU’s “Boo” Respond To Accusations Of Plagiarism
On May 12, music producer and Mystic Story president Jo Young Chul released the following statement on IU’s recent plagiarism accusations:As the producer who was responsible for the production of IU’s past albums, I thought I should make a few comments.
I saw an article saying that German band Nekta reached out regarding plagiarism and did not receive any response, but this is different from the truth. At the time, Nekta’s legal representative sent mail to LOEN [Entertainment, now Kakao M] and LOEN and their legal representative responded. They sent mail and notices confirming the basic facts, but the case closed as they stopped responding. The agency and law firm likely still have the mail and notices sent at the time.
Songwriter Han Sang Won, who composed IU’s “Boo,” also took to his Instagram to share the following detailed explanation:In 2008, I received a song request from then-rookie singer IU, and the genre I chose was ’80s female dance pop, a genre I personally like. The melody of the chorus lyric “You’re my boo” is borrowed from IU’s other song “Merry Christmas Ahead,” and I believe this is the biggest reason why this song received so much love, to the point where this part was left and remade into a rap song by Geeks.
