South Korean top court rules 'Baby Shark' not plagiarised
SEOUL: South Korea's top court ruled Thursday that the globally popular South Korean children's song "Baby Shark" was not plagiarised, rejecting a copyright claim filed by a US-based composer. With its catchy lyrics, the "Baby Shark Dance" video is the most viewed on YouTube, with more than 16 billion views, roughly double those of the runner-up, "Despacito", and third-place "Wheels on the Bus". In 2019, New York composer Johnny Only, whose legal name is Jonathan Wright, filed a lawsuit in Seoul, alleging that the 2015 hit "Baby Shark" by South Korean education startup SmartStudy copied a song he had released in 2011. Only demanded 30 million won (US$21,700) in compensation, accusing the firm of copying elements of his work, including its bassline and rhythm. SmartStudy, now known as The Pinkfong Company, argued that its version was an adaptation of a classic North American children's tune that is not protected by copyright. A South Korean lower court initially cleared the company of the charges at a trial in 2021, finding that there was insufficient evidence of copyright infringement. That ruling was upheld by an appeal court in 2023. Only then challenged the 2023 decision, but South Korea's Supreme Court affirmed the lower court rulings on Thursday. "All appeals were dismissed and the lower court's rulings were upheld," according to court documents seen by AFP. The Pinkfong Company said in a statement Thursday that the Supreme Court's decision confirmed "Baby Shark" was "based on a traditional singalong chant that has entered the public domain". The company said it had given "a fresh twist to the chant by adding an upbeat rhythm and catchy melody, turning it into the pop culture icon it is today". Only did not immediately reply to an AFP request for comment. He told Canadian public broadcaster CBC in 2019 that he had created a toddler-friendly version of "Baby Shark" in 2011, revising the original song, which was about a gory shark attack.

(Video) SUPER JUNIOR Shindong Reveals What Really Happens Behind the Scenes of Idol Dating
Dating in the K-pop industry is often a topic approached with caution, and sometimes outright avoidance. It's not uncommon for idols to be under strict no-dating policies. Furthermore, these rules are meant to help them stay focused and maintain a clean image among fans. Whether it's due to parasocial dynamics or the fear of public scrutiny, romantic relationships continue to be a taboo subject in Korean entertainment. However, during a recent YouTube interview titled 'We Asked Shindong Questions We Were Curious About,' SUPER JUNIOR (슈퍼주니어) member Shindong (신동) spoke openly about dating as an idol. His honest and unfiltered responses surprised both fans and the interviewer. During the conversation, host JM asked Shindong whether he often meets members of the opposite gender as a celebrity. In response, Shindong said dating is possible, for those who put in the effort. If he wanted to pursue someone, he explained, he could ask for numbers at broadcasting stations. Additionally, the idol also mentioned that he could approach fellow celebrities during industry meetups. However, despite having those opportunities, he emphasised that he's never acted on them. Shindong went on to point out that confidence plays a major role in how many idols find romantic partners. According to the dancer, several of his friends have successfully started relationships simply by being bold enough to make the first move. As for himself, he admits to receiving messages in his inbox but rarely feels compelled to reply, noting that online personas can differ significantly from real-life interactions. When asked about his future plans regarding marriage, Shindong shared that he once set a personal goal to tie the knot by the age of 48. However, recently, his perspective has shifted. These days, he finds himself thinking more about starting a family. He's even expressed a growing desire to have a child. Some of his friends have advised him not to wait too long. After all, starting a family can become more difficult with age, he's also taking into consideration. Although he hasn't made any firm decisions just yet, Shindong's openness provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of an idol navigating both fame and future aspirations. In an industry where romantic topics are often kept behind closed doors, his honesty brings a refreshing layer to the ongoing conversation around love, relationships, and adulthood in the K-pop world.
