After 1 year 7 month, finally going to release their album on 20 October, SS501 recently revealed that during production of the album they were swindled by a Korean composer.
Their company DSP expressed: "During the production of this album, they were caught in a swindle case. During the recording process, the song was always being requested to alter, and has huge difference from the original song, they started to suspect, and after investigation found out that it was stolen from one renown composer. In order not to be exposed, he made the modification. Of which, there's even copyright work from America singer Timbaland." "Coincidentally, the members heard one of the song on flight and it sounded like the song which they recorded. If they really included the song into the album, it will be consider 100% plagiarism."
There company also revealed: "As his company had insufficient fund, and Kim HyunJoong thought that the song was not bad, so as a leader, he paid on his own accord 8 million won (~USD6750) production fee.
Member Kim HyungJoon mentioned: "He is a brother whom we had known and work through thick and thin since 'UR Man', it never came to us that he will swindle us. In future, don't know whether what type of new singers would fall into his trap. He had once told us that our senior Rain's Rainism activities making film was his work, only after that then we realized it were all fabricated."
Kim HyunJoong mentioned: "Because of this, the album production time was longer than schedule, although we wish to meet with the fans earlier, however we had never predict such things will happen, the original official album had to be shrunk down into a mini album. In order to not incurred even more lost, we requested other composer and obtain very nice songs, it is considered a blessing in disguise."

SS501 was almost using anti-copyrighted song because of deception by some song writer.
SS501 will comeback with their new mini Album “REBIRTH” on the 20th. However, they was almost deceived by one of the Korea song writer HAN.
Because during the recording of the album, one of the song was always changing, management company felt very strange. So they went into investigation. Finally, the company found out that this song writer stole the melody from some famous foreign song. One of the song is copyrighted by America famous singer Timothy.
The company also said ” Because the company’s budget is not enough, SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong thought that the song is very good, so he had volunteer to give this song writer about eight million won before. “
Kim Hyun Joong said” Because the making of this album is taking more time than expected, I want to finish as early as possible. However, because of this sudden accident, the full album is now changed to mini album. At least at the end, we haven’t use the copyrighted song from other good song writer. I think this is lucky enough for us.”
SS501 new mini album special edition will be released on the 20th and the normal edition on the 22th. Before the official release date, the mini album is already pre-ordered over 30 thousand records from regular CD shop to selling website on the 14th. The result is just explosive.
====================
See how much hardships the group had gone through just to put together this album. Now it just pisses me off even more when I heard that the songs were leaked today - one day before the actual release date. A lot of warnings and pleas have been made days prior to this, yet some have fallen to deaf ears.
I would like to reiterate here again: if you are a real fan, you will buy the album. I guess you all have seen the interview done by Hyun Joong at Entertainment Weekly. He said, "Buy a lot of our CDs so that we can be active for so long. And if not, we will close shop quickly." It may only be said half in jest but rings true at this time.
