I was surfing on youtube, and found this. If you listen to Minwoo's latest album, doesn't it reminds you of someone else album?
Listen for yourself.

This song sounds very similar to Justin Timberlake and Timberland's SexyBack. Used the same beat.

Update: I found the description at YesAsia.com. I don't see Timberland on the list. For those that have the cd, where did it say M worked with Timberland on this???

It took Lee Min Woo over a year to come up with his new album, but now the long wait is over. In his element once more, he not only held a successful solo concert in Japan recently, he also established his own company, M Rising Entertainment. As for his new album, he has spared no efforts and got directly involved in the songwriting work for 9 of the 12 featured tracks. To realize his latest ambitious work, he collaborated with such talented musicians as Drunken Tiger's Tiger JK, Yoon Mi Rae, and Epik High's Tablo. This time's principal song is Stomp, which highlights his unique urban hip hop style. Fans can look forward to a special album blending urban hip-hop, R&B, and mainstream pop sounds. All listeners should be in for a musical joyride when they reach out to Explore M.

and if he was... then it kinda makes sense why they both sound similar..
timbaland's beats almost all sound the same....

EFFE M. He is hellllla annoying. He is an embarassment.
And his fans will try to defend him by saying his version sounds better, but that is besides the point. ANYONE can improve something that is already out there...

As long as it sounds nice and it's not a 100% copy I don't see what the big deal is sweatingbullets.gif
Since he's working with Timbaland, that might explain why the beat is almost the same..

Well if he worked with Timberland then its reasonable

if not then it's uh oh!

I hate SexyBack anyways
JT is wack and Minwoo is sexier

...but if Minwoo copied then vicx.gif
that's not a good thing..cuz OMG the songs sound too much alike

He's working with Timbaland, do you even know that? Timbaland pretty much has the same beats so I guess it's okay.

I like it... What's the big deal?

And 'sides, you can so totally tell that he was working with Timbaland.
Also, Timbaland made the singles he produced top the charts or something like that.

Even if he was working with Timberland...and Timberland's records are usually similar in different aspects. This one in particular, sounds like various tracks were cut and mixed. Haha, parts of Justin's original is heard in it's original form clips...er. I'd like to see evidence that this was a collab project..otherwise, it's another one of those copycats.

Everyone is copying/stealing each other's beats and all the stuff now.
So I am not suprised. Like Energy, that Chinese group, they have a remake version of DBSK's "One", and nothing was mention about DBSK on their CD.
Isn't that call stealing. I think people should just get over it if Justin doesn't do anything.
Because Justin can just sue anytime.
