In particular, Jeremy’s latest release, “Tie Me Now,” is said to have plagiarized Stray Kids Bang Chan & Hyunjin‘s “Red Lights.” “Tie Me Now” was composed by Jeremy himself, but he did not serve as the arranger.

“‘Tie Me Up’ is the first fast-paced song I composed. I saw that netizens pointed out similarities between my song and another song, and fans have been anxious and engaged in debates. I feel sad seeing this.

This song led to confusion and arguments. It was definitely not something I wanted to see. I also did not intend to plagiarize. I’m sorry for causing disappointment and displeasure.”
