Go Hee Jung, an artist as well as a student of Ehwa Women's University, called out Psy and his 'The Drenched Show' summer concert series for plagiarism.
On the internet cafe she set up on October 8th, Go Hee Jung wrote, "For concert plagiarism, I have submitted a case against Psy, Samsung, and YG Entertainment to the Korea Copyright Commission and Seoul Central District Prosecution Office."
She pointed out that Kim Jang Hoon and Psy's previous joint concert 'One Touch' and Psy's recent 'The Drenched Show' concert matched up by 95%. According to her, at least 100 similarities were found including the circular stage, fireworks, lighting, special effects, presentation, laser show, performance, and greeting style.
In addition she also announced that she'd file a lawsuit against the Mayor of Seoul, Park Won Soon, for helping Psy put on his recent free concert at the expense of having the performances of lesser known artists being cancelled.
This all happened just after rumors of alleged conflict between Psy and Kim Jang Hoon fired up again. The depressing me2day posts that were made by Kim Jang Hoon were speculated to be directed towards Psy. The singer revealed that he had later gone to the hospital to receive treatment and Psy is said to have visited Kim Jang Hoon to settle issues. However, later Kim Jang Hoon once again wrote on his me2day that it seemed like Psy coming to visit all of the sudden seemed like intentional media play.
The two singers were once best friends collaborating together on various performances. Psy even once remarked that everything he had learned about performing was from Kim Jang Hoon. However, the two fell into dispute years back and eventually remade up later, but stopped their collaborative performances in 2011. With Psy's recent concert, it seems many of the staff, who had worked on the two artist's previous performances and Kim Jang Hoon's concerts, brought in many of the similar elements that had been introduced before into 'The Drenched Show' and thus led to new alleged conflicts springing up again.
With his unstable state and alleged conflicts between him and Psy making headlines, Kim Jang Hoon has stated his wish for everything to die down and has delayed the release of his upcoming album later this month and his music video with Paris Hilton. Instead, he will be heading overseas to focus on his schedule there and will not be promoting in Korea for the time being.
Meanwhile, Go Hee Jung, has received much backlash from netizens over her claims and the filing of lawsuits since the initial announcement on the 8th. On the 9th, she has revealed that she has stopped all her plans and apologized for causing so much commotion. She stated that she did not realize how big this would become and said that she would stop the work that she is currently participating in and live quietly.
