G-Dragon is facing a copyright lawsuit controversy involving a song dispute with composer “A.”
On August 14, Dispatch reported that “A” sued G-Dragon and YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun Suk over alleged copyright infringement. The claim: YG Entertainment reproduced “A”’s song without permission and included it on one of G-Dragon’s albums.
The disputed track, originally titled “G-Dragon,” appeared on a 2001 hip hop compilation album credited to “A” as lyricist and composer. In 2010, a different version called “I’m 13” was released, still crediting “A.”
But the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) clarified the situation. They confirmed G-Dragon was never credited as a lyricist or composer on either version and did not receive royalties from the song. KOMCA outright denied the validity of the lawsuit against the BIGBANG member.
KOMCA also debunked reports claiming their office was raided as part of the investigation. The raid stories are false, they stressed.
“The previous reports of a search and seizure operation conducted at KOMCA over this lawsuit were completely false.” – KOMCA representative
Still, the Seoul Mapo Police are continuing their probe into the lawsuit filed by “A.”
Fans and followers are urged to monitor the situation as updates come.
