H.O.T.'s Jang Woohyuk confesses he plagiarized 'Candy' costume

Posted by 1takekk1 pt Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Singer and H.O.T. member Jang Woohyuk confessed that H.O.T.'s costume for their hit 1996 track, 'Candy' was a work of plagiarism. "This is my first time revealing this... but I plagiarized the candy costume," stated Jang Woohyuk on SBS 'Strong Heart' that aired on May 24th. He continued, "I thought about the costume for 'Candy' after a successful debut with 'Warrior's Descendants.'" Jang Woohyuk further explained, "When I couldn't figure out a design, there was a costume that I've had my eyes on which happened to be one of my colleague artist's costume." When MC Kang Ho Dong asked, "Was this person a Korean artist?" Jang Woohyuk answered, "Yes. OneTwo's Ho Bum debuted as an idol at the time." Jang Woohyuk then captured the attention with his honesty by adding, " And I thought his costume would really suit us well... it's a cruel thought but I sort of wished Ho Bum to leave the Korean music scene after a short while." In addition, Jang Woohyuk said, "Ho Bum ended his promotion by the time when we came out. So I added in a sun cap and beanie to his costume." He expressed his apologies by saying, "I met Ho Bum off-stage and I felt so sorry, Ho Bum knows about this as well." Source: Nate
