The follow up song for 10-member mixed co-ed group, Co.ed, "Bbiribbom Bbaeribbom" has been gaining popularity and slowly a plagiarism controversy has been raised.
On the 19th, Co.ed revealed their songs "Bbiribbom Bbaeribbom" and "Loving You A Thousand Times" along with music videos. 2 hours after the initial release, they quickly rose to the #1 and #2 placements on GOMTV real-time music video charts.
Many Internet users have brought up that the chorus in the song "Bbiribbom Bbaeribbom" is similar to pop singer Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Both of the songs have a progress in the chorus and the pronunciation sounds similar in both of the songs.
On the United States based Korean gossip site, Allkpop, netizens commented "Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' is nearly identical, 'Upon hearing this, Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' comes to mind," were the reactions. Some said, "Even the title is the same to Narsha's 'Bbiribbabba.'"
Co.ed made a public debut last month on the 30th with "Too Late." Also with that song was suspicions of familiarity between Britney Spears' "If U Seek Amy" which was used in the Hyundai Tucson IX CF.
6 boys and 4 girls, Co.ed will perform on the 21st broadcast of Mnet M!Countdown with both "Too Late" and "Bbiribbom Bbaeribbom."
