Britney’s voice saying “keep on rocking” can be heard in IU’s song. This is an issue because the song does not credit Britney Spears and it is unclear whether there was any permission 给 concerning sampling the track.
Loen Entertainment stated that the composer who arranged the song used the sample from a group of purchased vocal samples and they are working on resolving the issue.
The singer’s agency, Loen Entertainment, responded to the accusations on November 3 and stated, ” We became aware of [this issue] over the weekend. We have confirmed that the composer who arranged the song used a sample from voice samples he purchased in the past. They were unsure of the origins of the voice sample, so we have contacted Britney Spears’ agency to 确认 whether 或者 not it is her voice.” Her agency continued, “We plan on discussing the matter and resolving it after we find out the truth. We will notify 你 after we find out the results.” They then apologized saying, “We want to apologize for not being meticulous during the album creation process and for worrying fans. We want to thank and apologize to the 粉丝 of Britney Spears who brought this to our attention.”
Personally, I have no idea if this constitutes illegal usage 或者 if the track itself is plagiarism, and I’d default to people like KPOPALYPSE on that front. Maybe it was used illegally, maybe it was a legally purchased sample, who knows? Not me, that’s for sure.
What made me interested in this story though is that I think the netizen response seems to indicate they’re getting this track confused with her 标题 track, also named “Twenty-Three“. See, the primary response seems to be along the lines of “lololol if Loen are putting this on the composer then why are they media playing that 李知恩 composed”, which seems to suggest they are either complete morons 或者 they’re just confused 由 the similar titles.
So I’m giving the netizens the benefit of the doubt here (I know) and assuming they just got the songs mixed up, because otherwise the explanation is rather simple: 李知恩 did have a hand in the composition of one song but not in the other, so the response 由 Loen makes complete sense.

李知恩 has a partial composing credit on her 标题 track, “Twenty-Three”, but on the OST track from ‘The Producers’, “23”, she had nothing to do with the composition, just the lyrics.
Thus, I don’t see how this is Loen shielding her from criticism. It’s Loen asking the people who actually composed the track about their own composition, which only makes sense, as asking 李知恩 about what two other people did would be dumb as hell since all she did was sing it for her drama.

Anyway, definitely if any of the songs 李知恩 composed were plagiarized, she should be taken to court 由 the copyright owners and dragged 或者 whatever, but as of now, the only track involved in this controversy was composed 由 people who are not IU, so I’m going out on a limb here and saying she wasn’t behind this with a nefarious SLY 狐狸 plan.
I don’t really think any of this is that complicated to understand, and yet here we are.
