JYP Entertainment C.E.O and producer Park Jin-young has found himself caught in a plagiarism scandal.
JYP Entertainment is under fierce pressure over claims Park plagiarized his song made for songstress IU, "Someday."
Korean composer Kim Shin-il filed a compensation case against Park on July 11, saying Park plagiarized a song called "My Man" he wrote for singer Ash.
Into four months of Kim taking legal actions, the justice department said it has found the similarities between the two songs and required Park to pay the compensation. Park resisted, however, and appealed to a higher court.
