Apartment plagiarism controversy completely summarized! (+ Rosé plagiarized a Japanese song?, comparison video link attached)
1. The beginning of the controversy: How did the plagiarism allegations begin?
The controversy first started among international fans. Fans have been claiming that the two songs are similar since the introduction of "APT" and "Can't Be a Good Girl" has a similar melody and rhythm. I started doing it.
Especially on the first listen, there was a reaction of “almost the same.” There is a lively debate among fans as to whether this is a simple coincidence or a real plagiarism.
2. Musical similarity: melody, rhythm, and instrument choice
🎵 Melody: Many people say that the opening melodies of the two songs are similar. So some fans are saying that it is difficult to see this as a coincidence.
🎵 Rhythm and tempo: The song's fast and repetitive rhythm is also similar, which is why this part, especially in the chorus, is controversial. became the center of .
🎵Instrument selection: The synthesizer and drum beats used in Rosé's song There were many opinions that it was similar to Miku's song, so more people began to suspect plagiarism.

3. What are some common patterns in pop music?
On the other hand, there are opinions that "APT" simply uses chord progressions and melody patterns often found in the pop genre. In fact, since pop music often uses similar melodies and chord progressions, many people say that it is difficult to conclude that it is plagiarism.
4. Conclusion (+Between Creation and Plagiarism)
This controversy shows how vague the line between creativity and plagiarism can be in pop music.
There are similarities between Rosé's "APT" and Sawai Miku's "Can't Be a Good Girl", The current conclusion is that there is insufficient conclusive evidence to prove whether this was intentional plagiarism.
In the future, wouldn't the music industry need more guidelines to clearly distinguish between creation and inspiration? Hehe
