The song, which was revealed to be titled “G-Dragon,” was first published as a part of a 2001 hip hop compilation album, credited “A” as its lyricist and composer. However, in 2010, the song was re-released as a different version under the title of “I’m 13.”
According to a KOMCA representative, the re-release also credited “A” as a lyricist and composer. In fact, they claimed that G-Dragon was not listed under either of those credits and never received any royalties for the song. Based on these facts, KOMCA denied the validity of the lawsuit against the BIGBANG member.
Furthermore, the representative stated that the previous reports of a search and seizure operation conducted at KOMCA over this lawsuit were completely false.
However, the Seoul Mapo Police is said to be still carrying out a probe into the lawsuit filed by “A.” Stay tuned for more updates.
