BTS Jungkook's 'Alleged' Plagiarism Takes Jaw-Dropping Turn With Spice Girls' Copycat Claims

In a surprising turn of events, the producer who raised allegations of plagiarism against BTS Jungkook's song "Seven" now finds himself at the center of a plagiarism controversy.

Unforeseen Similarities: Fin.K.L's Song and the Spice Girls

Yang Joon Young, a first-generation K-Pop producer, recently claimed that BTS Jungkook's track "Seven" had plagiarized Fin.K.L's "Time of Mask," a song he himself had produced.

However, skepticism arose swiftly in response to these allegations. This skepticism was grounded in the fact that "Seven" had been created by overseas producers, and a considerable majority of listeners failed to detect any substantial similarities between the two songs.

Adding to the intrigue, Dispatch, a reputable news outlet, released an article on August 24 that presented factual evidence seemingly exonerating Jungkook from any wrongdoing in the plagiarism accusations.

But the plot thickened further for Yang Joon Young as listeners who examined Fin.K.L's song in the wake of the controversy made an unexpected discovery. They found an uncanny resemblance between the song and another iconic pop group's work - the Spice Girls.

A brief comparison between the first 30 seconds of the Spice Girls' hit "Say You'll Be There" and Fin.K.L's "Time of Mask" reveals undeniable similarities in their central melodies. Interestingly, "Say You'll Be There" predates "Time of Mask" by a full three years, having been released in 1996.

Netizens from around the world expressed their astonishment at the unfolding irony and the audacity exhibited by Yang Joon Young. Comments flooded social media platforms:

• "I learned that 'Time of Mask' is more similar to the Spice Girls!"
• "The Fin.K.L song is closer to the Spice Girls' song, in my opinion, LOL."
• "Woah, seriously, the Spice Girls' song is more similar to the Fin.K.L song?"
• "It's really similar to the Spice Girls, LOL. I think he's in for some trouble."
• "Seriously, the intro to 'Time of Mask' is identical to 'Say You Will Be There.'"
• "So, do we just send this to the Spice Girls' producer?"
• "NOPE!! Excuse us! They are not alike! It sounds more like the song of Spice Girls' Say You'll Be There! Please stop the plagiarism issue of Jungkook's song"
• "I call bullsh*t on the claim that the writers of Seven plagiarized Fin.K.L's Time of Mask. Within seconds of hearing Time of Mask, I noticed how much it sounded exactly like The Spice Girl's "Say You'll Be There"."

As the plagiarism allegations take unexpected twists and turns, the music industry and fans alike are left questioning the credibility of accusers and the complex nature of influence in the world of music creation.
