►►Mnet M!Countdown 04/22/10: Lee Hyori wins + 2PM comeback stages
The April 22nd episode of Mnet M!Countdown features diva Lee Hyori with her #1 win for comeback song ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’! The first #1 for the song since Lee Hyori’s comeback. Congratulations!
Let’s see how long the queen will last until the plagiarism issues for ‘H-Logic’ grow bigger…
Other highlight performances includes 2PM’s comeback stage for the show today.
►►Half of Lee Hyori’s ‘H-Logic’ songs face plagiarism accusations
This is some serious business Kpop diva Hyori is facing…to my surprise this time, some of the songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME (or they’re basically the same song) 😦
Hyori’s composer, Bahnus, seems to be pulling all the right stops for the singer… towards a bad reputation. Bahnus helped compose seven songs for Hyori’s H-Logic album, and of those, six are questionably plagiarized.
What makes these cases so striking is that no where in the album credit, did M.Net Media acknowledge that these songs were sampled.
Sampling is taking a portion of the sound recording and using it for a different song. To prevent legal actions and accusations of plagiarism, artists who want to use the sampled clips must first and foremost obtain authorization from the original artist before they are able to sample.
Of the six accusations, one of the songs is confirmed to be plagiarized. A girl group from Canada known as Cookie Couture released their song “Boy, Bring it Back” in 2008 and Hyori released her version, “Bring it Back” this year.
After editing, Lee Hyori’s ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ MV given the green light from KBS
Lee Hyori’s new MV ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ has been given the green lights from KBS after it has been edited.
This is according to a Mnet representative through a phone conversation on 22nd April, “We removed the problematic scenes and sent it in for re-assessment, and it has been given the green light.”
Previously, the MV has been deemed inappropriate by broadcast company KBS as there was a scene which features the singer driving a truck without the seatbelt on. Also she was featured in the MV dancing on the road which violates the road traffic laws.
Lee Hyori turns it on with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and #1 on M! Countdown

Compared to her first stage, which was rather hectic for many viewers, this week’s performance seems much improved. And of course, we can’t forget about the hot ‘vroom’ dance she pulls off in middle of her song! Check it out below.

Hyori is keeping an eye on SNSD’s Yuri and 2NE1’s CL
At a press conference held on the 13th in celebration of her 4th album’s release, Lee Hyori was asked “Which girl group hoobae are you eyeing?” Without hesitation, the Queen of K-pop answered, SNSD’s Yuri and 2NE1’s CL, two members from the nation’s top girl groups.
Regarding Yuri, Hyori stated, “It was like seeing myself in the past. I watched SNSD’s concert and Yuri’s solo performance was impressive. During the Fin.K.L days, I, too, performed a solo performance at the concert and received attention from the music industry shortly thereafter. I have seen Yuri sing solo before and I think she is capable of succeeding as a solo artist.”
Regarding CL, Hyori stated, “She possesses a powerful aura that no one else has had until now. Her originality and charm are something that cannot be easily found in Korea. As opposed to being a pretty and sexy singer, her powerful singing and rapping skills will lead her to become a major figure in the music industry.”
Hyori added, “The featured artists in my album, 4minute’s Jiyoon and After School’sBekah, are friends that I have already stamped my approval on.”
Hyori also did not forget to lend a few words of advice to all the idols undergoing promotional activities. “As you receive training, you perform as much as you are taught. For now, you do as you are told by the management company, but once the contract ends, you will be all alone. If you do not learn to become independent, you may end up in a situation similar to that of an orphan who lost his/her parents.”
It must be an honor for Yuri and CL to be praised by the Queen of K-pop herself. Her observations are right on point too; Yuri and CL are both a popular favorite among the domestic and international crowd. With Yuri’s sex appeal and down-to-earth personality and CL’s natural charisma on and off stage, the future ahead looks bright for the two of them.
