The director accused of plagiarizing IU's 'Palette' music video has apologized.
Daniel Chen has come under fire after it was revealed that scenes from his work in Taiwanese artist Elaine Ho's music video for "To Love or Not" copied scenes from Korean director Lee Rae Kyung's work. An apology was posted to Elaine Ho's YouTube page after reports and netizens led to a flood of criticism and it reads as follows:
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by this. We referenced a variety of different images while making this music video, and among them, we included scenes from Lee Rae Kyung's 'Palette' music video. We didn't mean to plagiarize. Our ideas and the parts that we thought of looked similar. If there was a scene that offended you, I apologize. I am seeking your forgiveness. Your work is perfect."
What do you think?
"Sorry I was caught" is more like it... Dude we SAW you watching the video, you admitted to copying... that's like if a serial killer was like "I stabbed them a million times... but I didn't mean to kill them... jesus dude... At least this is a start no matter how small it was to people actually fighting off leeches.. now if only we could move more west with that...
