To recap, a portion of the lyrics from the song had been discovered to be the same as a portion of lyrics from g.o.d's past hit song released under JYP Entertainment. As questions were raised, BTOB's Hyunsik who composed the song and co-wrote the lyrics with HyunA responded that it had been meant as an homage to the veteran group. In response, both JYP Entertainment as well as g.o.d member Kim Tae Woo had expressed that although they are thankful about the tribute, they wish that they had been told of this beforehand.
Hyunsik and Cube's CEO recently apologized for not having discussed this with the mentioned parties prior to the song release, but now Cube Entertainment will take things a step further by removing the song completely.
They posted on their official Twitter account,
"Hello, this is Cube Entertainment.
We apologize for the problems that have risen with the homage included in the song 'From When and Until When' included in HyunA's third mini album,
and we have decided to stop service for the song on online music sites starting from today, August 1, at 11 AM (KST).
We will also be omitting the aforementioned song from the future additional copies produced of HyunA's physical album.
We once again apologize for having caused concern due to this issue. Thank you."
