Popular group SS501 revealed the reason for releasing their new album later than expected at the press conference held prior to their Asia Tour concert in Taipei Taiwan on 17-Oct.
SS501’s leader, Kim HyunJoong said “We are sorry to our fans because our album release was postponed for about 2 months. During the process of recording, we were caught in a swindle. If we haven’t released it during the midst (of recording), we would have sang a plagiarized song.”
SS501 planned to release their album in August, so they started recording for the album while doing their Asia Tour concert. SS501 went to USA to look for their title song for this album, they received a song that they like from an agent and started recording it immediately. However during the process of recording, this agent continued to offer to sell this song and some other songs, and even demanded for additional (song) usage fee. Kim HyunJoong paid this agent over 8 million won. But the process of recording didn’t go on smoothly after that, DSP Media confirmed that the title song was already being released in USA.
Park JungMin revealed “After we ended our Japan concert in August, on the flight back home, we don’t know who sang this song, but we heard the song which sounded like our title song. We immediately investigate on that agent and confirmed that we were being swindled.” Kim HyunJoong said that luckily through DSP Media’s effort, the 8 million won was returned to him.
DSP Media said “We are lucky that we found out about the song during the process of recording and was able to change it. Even though we do not have any financial losses, because of this, we wasted 2 months time which is like money to us.”
After all the twists and turns, they will be releasing their new album ‘REBIRTH’ on 20-Oct with the title song ‘Love like this’. This song is composed by Steven Lee, a famous composer in USA. Steven Lee composed all 5 songs in their new album and member Kim HyungJoon wrote the lyrics for new song ‘Obsess’.

o_O" !!!! 8 millions!!!! They spend 8 millions for nothing!!!! That company should be condemned!!!! How could they cheat wuri 4D Prince !!!!
Actually I am surprised that Hyun Joong had to pay for the song himself? Why? Why not the company pay for the song but him? and he is RICH !!! Paying 8 millions for a song!
Glad that they were able to get back his hard earn $$ back from him.....
Now we know why the album is delayed months after months!! I feel sad for them because they were so busy but this company made them waste all the time & effort. They could have used all these time to rest....
Thanks XiaoChu @ Quainte501 for the translation! At least now we know why the album is delayed!

yeah like finally we know yea. and i dont think it's for a song, but for a few songs. i am wondering what will TS reactions be after knowing this...since so many were complaining why it took so long to release...
OMG, this is really frightening news. Aside from Leader coming up with his own money, can imagine how terrible it would be if they released the song on their comeback after 1 yr 7 mths then get accused of plagiarism. Thank god they discovered before.
Now I understand the delay and slap myself for getting frustrated for the long wait. Our poor boys had their reasons.
Break record already, never post before now post 2 msg back to back. But can't help must say something here after reading this stunning piece of news.
Hee..... Belle..... welcome to leave message or comment in my blog.... we share share information ^_^
I am SHOCK!
Now i knew how much just 1 song 0_0 omg! 8 million..
And same with you cagalli, why must hyunjoong himself pay for that song?! I don't get the system. Or maybe he has stock in DSP now? So he investate his own money?
And thx GOD they found that plagiarized song! And for two months, their preparation is pretty quick, right?
And yeah hyun joong is rich, i heard just for 1 anycall CF he got pay at least 60 billion?! And he has many anycall vers CF.. And many others CF..
and hor.... how come he is so BAD in investment hur? Remember when in the family outing he mentioned that he lost most of his investment??!!
8 million won is US$7,000 approx, it can't be that cheap for a song. So Leader must read more adult manga on financial management. No wonder Leader look quite glum and expressionless back then and we wonder why.
