With the popularity of the entertainment variety show " Idol Producer ", every move of the trainees on the show has also attracted much attention. Recently Lin Yanjun has been pushed to the forefront because the song he previously collaborated with his mentor Ouyang Jing was suspected of plagiarism, and the company's apology statement was also suspected of plagiarizing a fan's simulated apology on Douban. Apologizing for plagiarism, and then plagiarizing even after apologizing, this move simply made netizens dumbfounded!
In the new program aired on March 30, Lin Yanjun collaborated with his mentor Ouyang Jing and several other trainees on the song "Zero", but was later accused of plagiarizing some of his lyrics from a song by Taiwanese rap group Naughty MJ116 "Better Believe Me" has a very similar flow and some of the lyrics are exactly the same, and Lin Yanjun has also collected this song in the NetEase Cloud playlist.
Plagiarism should be a hammer. Lin Yanjun’s move not only hurt the producers who would never stop calling for him, but also dragged Ouyang Jing and several other trainees into the water and put on plagiarism hats, which aroused the anger of their fans. dissatisfied.
At around 4 o'clock in the morning today, Lin Yanjun's Banana Entertainment TRAINEE18 issued an urgent response on Weibo, saying that Lin Yanjun himself said that the solo lyrics in "Zero" were filled in by Lin Yanjun himself, and he drew inspiration from "Better Believe Me" when looking for inspiration, especially Slim teacher’s part. Lin Yanjun said that he respected Teacher Shouzi very much and called him his first teacher. Because he had not systematically studied rap, he would study the techniques of excellent rappers. At the same time, he expressed his apology and gratitude to instructor Ouyang Jing.
The apology itself had a good intention, but unexpectedly, this statement was found to be plagiarized from a Douban group netizen's post, and it is said that Douban has already been criticized. It is reported that the apology Weibo has been deleted.
This statement also aroused heated comments from netizens. Some netizens expressed their belief in Lin Yanjun and would continue to support him: "This young man has had a difficult journey. I believe he will learn a lesson after going through this. I hope everyone can give him a chance." "It's not like we've gone over everything. There are just some similarities in a few places. It's better to use reference than plagiarism in this matter!"
But some people think that the company and Lin Yanjun are not sincere enough: "The company doesn't even have a public relations document. Do you want to plagiarize?" "Is it okay if you apologize for plagiarizing?" "Don't cheat in exams. Isn't this something I have learned since I was a child? Why should I let others understand me?" Have you considered it?" said he did not support it.
Lin Yanjun has been gaining momentum recently and can be called a dark horse among idol trainees. However, this plagiarism incident occurred at a critical moment. I wonder what impact it will have on his future development.
