Kim Do Hoon, the songwriter of C.N BLUE’s hit song “I’m a Loner” and many other famous hits, rejected the rumors of him plagiarizing for the second time…but netizens are now boycotting to kick him out as a composer for good!

Kim Do Hoon replied to another reporter,

“I have not deceived my conscience,” said composer Kim Do-hoon in an interview with the Hankook Ilbo. “I have never heard of the song ‘Blue Bird.’ I did not plagiarize it.”

He said Ynot sent him a letter to claim that CNBLUE’s “I’m a Loner” is similar to its song in melody and rhythm ― a usual step needed before filing a suit.

Yet, Kim denied the accusations, saying the two songs are different in rhythm and melodies as a whole.

“Those who know music will be able to easily figure out that the two songs are in the same genre but are completely different,” he said.

Meanwhile, netizens are scheming something new that is troubling the poor composer…

A group of netizens has started gathering signatures for an online petition urging Kim to leave the music industry because, they say, he has built his career with plagiarized songs.

“Kim wrote a song titled ‘Lie’ for Gavy NJ and it was pretty much the same as Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Brave,’” a person with the screen name Rasmus wrote on the site Agora, a major online debate forum operated by local search engine Daum. “There were also similarities between Kim’s ‘8282’ [sung by Davichi] and Mika’s ‘Happy Ending.’ The list goes on.”

Rasmus launched the signature campaign against Kim. As of yesterday morning, 3,181 netizens had signed on.

I just realized how much hits this guy have written! Aside “I’m a loner” (which hits #1 more than once), “Lie” is like my personal favorite ballad of all time and so is “8282″! Now I don’t know why the stupid plagiarism rumors DID NOT arise for those two previous hits, considering they were written in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Maybe the rise of idols have been making netizens more aware? Maybe there are more haters than fans out there? More jealousy?

Sometimes I just stop and think how Kpop has gone such a long way to just kick such a great composer like Do Hoon out that easy…

Well of course petitions like these arose many times before and they don’t really solve much problem, but it’s still ridiculous. I hope someone could just bring this prob into court and get it over with :/
