YG Entertainment Used B.I's Song In Eun Jiwon's New Album Without Crediting Him and #CreditHanbin Is Trending #1 WorldWide

On 27 June YG Entertainment has just released Sechskies member Eun Jiwon's solo album's preview. There is a song in the album which is called "Worthless". In the teaser poster, the lyrics credits include just Eun Jiwon and written as composed by only Millennium.
However iKON's fans revealed that "Worthless" composed and written by B.I with full demo version. B.I have always shared his unreleased songs as demo which are written and composed by himself from his soundcloud account or Vlive broadcasts for his fans. "Worthless" was one of these tens of songs that he shared full version on December 2017. Fans realised even the lyrics of the preview are %100 same with B.I's demo.
In the past B.I said that he shouldn't show his demos/songs and hoped no one would know about that; however he wanted to make fans happy with taking risks. Most probably, the company didn't know that B.I shared this song before with fans, so they didn't give him credits.
Earlier YG Entertainment did the same action towards to B.I. In 2016 even if B.I was co-lyricist of BLACKPINK's "Whistle", company didn't give him credit on the official posters. After a while, KOMCA (Korea Music Copyright Association) gave him credits as lyricist, then fans learned about that thanks to KOMCA.
Now, fans are angry at YGE to not put his name even if he isn't a YG artist in the company. They thought this action is rude and disrespectful to a songwriter and say B.I's all demos are precious to his fans, so YGE should respect that.
Some say that if they think B.I's name would affect the artist performing the song, they shouldn't put this song in the first place and if they put the song, they should be respectful to the producer who worked for it.
Fans also point out that B.I was always respectful to even the inspirers in his songs. In the past, B.I inspired just 3 lines from a poem for Love Scenario. And he put this poet MotMal name in credits, people were shocked he gave him credit just because of that.
Fans started a hashtag#CreditHanbin on Twitter and made it #1 on World Wide trends beside United States, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and more. Also it was #8 on Korea trends.
Some Knetz also reacted to this in Naver articles that B.I should be credited on the 4th song.
You can listen Eun Jiwon's preview and B.I's demo below, then you can realise how these two are exactly are the same.
Tell me.Which law indicate that the songwriter could not be credited in the poster.
What do you think about that? Do you think it's rude to B.I to not putting his name as a songwriter?

Here, some of his fans' reacts to this situation on Twitter:
he gave up his childhood, youth, he suffered from insomnia, needed a psychological help you DIDN’T give him, worked his a*s off with other members for exhausting tours, produced HITS for your other artists for what? being treated like that? YG really hit rock bottom.
“using hanbin’s name will give bad impact to the company” then don’t use the work he clearly made clowns. you don’t want bad PR yet still use his songs ? make it make sense. i say we burn down this capitalist greed bastards
Hanbin’s not some random demo singer. Producers don’t call rapper Kim Hanbin in to SING for them. Are you dumb? He sings on his demos, he does the backing melody on his demos, he does everything on his demos BECAUSE they are his.
they robbed hanbin his career and now they’re releasing his song without crediting him. if they can’t respect him as a person, at least respect him as an artist. STOP. STEALING. HIS. SONGS.
if they’re gonna remove his name due to the recent events, then might as well remove the song from the album itself??? it’s HIS song??? it’s wrong to take someone’s work and not even credit the person who MADE the song
KIM HANBIN'S SONGS ARE REPRESENTATIONS OF HIS DREAMS, HAPPINESS, SADNESS, AND HIS LIFE. HOW COULD YOU NOT GIVE HIM THE GOOD RECOGNITION FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS??? WHY
YGE thinks removing Hanbin from Whistle's credits was okay amidst ppl proving he worked on it and now removed Hanbin's fcking name again from a song he worked on for another YGE artist,, JUST WTF
YGE made hanbin their sacrificial lamb to cover their dirt and terminated his contract so fast and now they have the fcking NERVE to remove him from the credits of his OWN song. YG GO BANKRUPT AND BURN IN HELL.
IM SO FUCKIN MAD, YALL GO TERMINATING MY SON'S CONTRACT FOR SOME UNVERIFIED SHIT FROM 3 YEARS AGO WITH NO EVIDENCE, THEN STILL GO MILK OFF HIS TALENT WHILE HE'S OUT THERE FIGHTING ON HIS OWN TO CLEAR HIS NAME, EVERYONE IS CANCELLED, GET THE REST OF MY SONS OUTTA THAT COMPANY ASAP
If they really want him gone, why use his songs? If they wont give him some credits then dont use his work at the first place, its that easy. They are a big company, they have many producers working with them, they can just use other song instead of using his.
Hanbin needs to be credited for his work. He didn't give up sleep, eating and having fun just so they would use his hard work without even crediting him.
