The Korean hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" has been recorded with great OSTs that listeners happened to be in LSS (Last Song Syndrome) mood.

However, the part 2 OST of the drama "Everytime" sung by Chen x Punch has been suspiciously subjected to plagiarism from other songs. MUSIC&NEW, the record label in charge in producing the song commented against the plagiarism complaints.

The song happened to sound so similar from Eric Nam's debut song "Heaven's Door,'. Han Jae Ho, the composer of the song, had spoken to OSEN that he would like to "speak with ['Everytime's composer]." Netizens and some people also identified that "Everytime" sounded really alike to the song "A Night Like This" sung by 2BiC.

"There were opinions that the chorus is too similar to 2Bic's 'A Night Like This,' so we inquired into the matter directly with the original composer Jo Young Soo. We discovered that Earattack (producer of the song 'Everytime') included his name as a co-composer, along with Locoberry and Jo Young Soo, after negotiating with Jo Young Soo and getting the permission to use a sample [from the song]." stated by a representative from MUSIC&NEW on April 6.

"As Jo Young Soo's 'A Night Like This' was released on May 18, 2012, the accusations that 'Everytime' plagiarized Eric Nam's Door,' which was released later on, are void." as the representative added.

What's your opinion with these songs?
