After noting Baek Yerin’s decision to mention the OST in his Instagram Stories, the company mentioned several factors, such as the song’s overall structure, chord progression, and various standards for determining plagiarism.
They then shared that the two songs will be sent to music experts for analysis. The agency also clarified that the issue is solely with the composition of the song and not Ha Sungwoon, who only lent his voice to the OST.
