Okie,
I don't know why so many taiwanese singers copy korean songs??
I don't know if they do it legally or illegally, but i heard there are so many ill;egally copied ones.


My tawanese friend was listening to a chinese song that was exactly the same as
Brown eyes- 벌써일년..... and I told him oh that's a korean song. he said really??

Also at school i heard a chinese ring tone, it was the same song as the Papaya's -내얘길 들어봐. (listen to my story).

i don't really appreciate them copying without taking credits to the producers or whoever made the songs

what yall think? do you have any simliar situtations?

[sl33p1n6b34uty]

as far as i know taiwanese artists do credit producers/artists when they do remakes of songs

there are original taiwanese artists out there like jay chou, leehom...who have NEVER copied a korean song...in fact i recall leehom wrote a song for lim jeong hee

[hosuklover]

i see,,
in general there are many others who remake the songs??

[sl33p1n6b34uty]

well technically speaking i think every country remakes songs...

some korean songs are remakes of american songs...or gasp...even chinese songs and japanese songs...every country does remakes...so its not that big of a deal as long as there is proper credit given and in most cases credits are given...

why stipulate over something like this when its all music to begin with?

[crazypilovee]

haha yeahhh it's not like.. the groups write their own songs either. they take it from an actual songwriter. so who knows the song writers might sell the same song to another country.

[TVfXQ_NaNa]

they do credit the original song writers for their songs but they won't put the singers since they're not the ones who wrote the songs
they paid fot the songs, if they don't.....they'll probably get sued and that'll b worse
there's r more singers in taiwan that compose their own songs compared 2 Korea.......Jay Chou, Tank, LeeHom, Soda Green, F.I.R etc.

[lee-chan]

i kinda notice that too..but its okay if they ask permission.

[HIP2thaHOP]

i think that every music regardless of language borrows songs, but asks.
such as how kan mi yeon w/ her korean remakes of chinese songs etc.
as long as they give credit right?

[rachelicious]

There's nothing wrong with covering other people's songs as long as credits is given and royalties are paid. Taiwanese bought those songs from Korea and gave credits to the Korean original song writers. Futhermore, it is very normal in music industry for bands/singers to re-adapt other songs sung by other bands.

Energy remakes Se7en's song.. Kim Hyung Joong remakes Michael Wong's Tong Hua and the MV is like 99% similar. Every country does the same thing. Use the music, pay the owner. Musical free trade.

Some taiwanese singers remake korean songs, but a lot of them compose their own music as well... Jay Chou, LeeHom, David Tao, Tank, JJ Lin, Gary Chao, F.I.R., Michael Wong etc. In fact, i think Taiwanese are better composers than Korean.

[yongwonhi]

I don't know if they do it legally or illegally, but i heard there are so many ill;egally copied ones.

for example...?

korean artists remake american songs, korean artists remake chinese songs, chinese artists remake korean songs, blahblahblah the list goes on forever.

the end :]

[tb.fobs-lala.land]

hmm i know Energy copied Shinhwa's Hey! Come On and changed the song name to Come On!
Shinhwa got boo-ed on stage when they were performing it in taiwan cos the taiwanese fans thought Shinhwa copied the song from Energy.

andd 5566 copied Shinhwa's Dark!

mm .. cant remember .. but there's another taiwanese band that copied a Fly to the Sky song

[BishieAddict]

^ Energy covered Missing you.
It's not copying if it's a cover...

will pan did Free style's please tell me why
Tension did SG wannabe's Timeless (I actually like Tension's version)

but yeah Koreans do the same thing...some of DBSK songs are covers (well remakes of old korean songs too). Don't forget Lee Hyori's scandal with Britney Spears (was it her?)

[kathymon.]

^ yes it was hyori

i wanna know why do we have to create a billion of these threads a year?
people really need to get over the 'this person in china copied this person in korea' or vis versa
-sigh-

[jihye87]

well there's the music copyright law that's observed by most musicians if i'm not wrong so everything that's ripped off the original has to be credited. and the owners get paid royalties just like the singers.

but i thought the cover of Guang Liang's Tong Hua was horrible as everything from the song to the MV was totally alike ..
and if i'm not wrong, that remake of Brown Eye's song helped the female singer grab best newcomer at the Taiwan music awards.. and she's pretty much famous now ..

[little mixed girl]

^ yes it was hyori

i agree.

they made a chinese/[insert language here] version of a popular korean/[insert language here] song because the people in [insert country here] can't understand the original song.

yeah, there was the exact same, pointless topic made a little while ago. -.- people are so ignorant. artists from one country can cover another country's songs... this has been happening before you were even born, so deal with it. one country can borrow the culture/language/ideology of anothers, right? then why are you freaking out about music? o_O

and 1tym's 1tym! LOL

[choliese]

the end :]

yes exactly...
take it from this way, maybe Korea has a lot of nice songs that attracts other countries lol
as long as they do it legally then it should be alright

[tommy96814]

remake is good because there are those that sing the same song better than the ORIGINAL artist.

[LucasBunny]

How in god's name do you remake "1TYM"???

How?

I freakin hate Energy they make me sick
