Disney Latin American show “Violetta” plagiarizes Super Junior’s “Sorry Sorry”?


The Disney Latin American show “Violetta” is receiving a lot of attention for one of it’s musical segments.

The main chords of a song performed by Jorge Blanco (León) through “Violetta” earlier in the month sounds eerily familiar to the chorus of Super Junior‘s 2009 hit single, “Sorry Sorry“.

The segment in question was uploaded through Disney Latino América’s official YouTube channel and has already received over 250,000 views. Many people have left comments in Spanish stating how the song is copying “Sorry Sorry”.

You can check out both songs below and make your own judgement.

Open World Entertainment issues an official apology


Open World Entertainment (OWE) has issued an official apology through their website regarding the recent controversy involving sexual abuse of the agency’s trainees.

On April 17th, OWE wrote, “First and foremost, we are deeply remorseful for having subjected everyone to immeasurable disappointment, and causing anxiety and concern through this shameful incident. We bow our heads to offer our deepest apologies, and once again apologize as this public announcement is long overdue.”

They continued, “We would like to inform you that what is being reported in the media regarding the involvement of celebrities under our agency is false. Our Open World Entertainment artists who are not linked to the original incident have been deeply hurt by this, as the media mass reported the stories before they have been completely confirmed. We earnestly ask you to refrain from writing speculative articles in the future, in order to prevent all of our label celebrities from experiencing backlash by simply being under the same label. Once again, we bow our heads and offer our most deepest apologies for causing everyone to be concerned over this disgraceful incident.”

The CEO of Open World Entertainment has been confined after being charged with sexually assaulting 11 of his label’s trainees.

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong to hold an independent fan meeting in Turkey



JYJ member Kim Jaejoong (26) will be holding an independent fan meeting in Turkey on February 5th (local time).

On February 3rd, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism revealed that Jaejoong would be holding his fan meeting at Ankara University in Turkey.

This fan meet will be a good way to help spread Hallyu awareness and enhance cultural exchanges between the two countries. Tickets for the fan meeting were sold as a first come, first served basis and tickets for all 600 seats sold out on the Korean Embassy in Ankara website within half an hour.

“We could see the effect of Hallyu in Turkey, as more than 2,000 people applied to attend the fan meeting within a few hours,” the Embassy said. “We received incessant phone calls from people who did not get selected.”

Leading Turkish newspaper Milliyet also reported about the fan meeting on February 1st, and introduced not only Jaejoong but JYJ as a whole in much detail.

A Korean drama aired in Turkey for the very first time in 2005, and there has been significant interest in K-pop and Korean culture ever since.

Turkey also is home to a fan club entitled ‘Korea Fans’, which currently has over 40,000 active members.


Any of our Turkish readers going to be at the fan meet? Let us know below!
