According to an exclusive media outlet report on August 22 KST, plagiarism allegations have been raised against BTS Jungkook's solo debut single, "Seven" feat. Latto.
The English-language single "Seven" feat. Latto is composed and written by Andrew Watt, Jon Bellion, Henry Walter, Theron Makiel Thomas, and Latto. The single is currently under suspicion of "borrowing" the "same scale sequence" as a key melody used in Fin.K.L's "Time of Mask", released in 2000.
Fin.K.L's "Time of Mask", a b-side track from the girl group's special album 'SPECIAL', was composed by Yang Joon Young. It's been reported that Yang Joon Young has forwarded a request for evaluation of the scale sequence of the two songs with a producer at HYBE Labels, and is currently waiting for a response.
HYBE Labels has supposedly given a temporary response as of writing, stating that the issue cannot be resolved at this time due to "Bang Si Hyuk's overseas business trip to the United States".
