On October 4, posts on online communities like Theqoo raised concerns that the OST for tvN’s drama “Love Next Door“, starring Jung Hae-in, bears a strong resemblance to Baek Yerin‘s song “0310”.
The song in question is “What Are We” by Ha Sung-woon, which is featured in the OST for “Love Next Door”.
Netizens are pointing out that this track sounds very similar to Baek Yerin’s “0310”, which was included in her 2019 album “Every Letter I Sent You”. “0310” is an original song composed and written by Baek Yerin herself.
The netizen who raised the issue on Theqoo stated, “If you listen to it without the lyrics, it’s just Baek Yerin’s ‘0310’. It sounds even more identical in the instrumental version.“
Baek Yerin also expressed her displeasure regarding the plagiarism allegations through her Instagram, stating, “It must you to suck copying. Feel bad. If you want a song like mine, please ask me so.“
She further shared reactions from netizens who remarked that “What Are We” immediately reminded them of Baek Yerin’s track.
Netizens have been reacting with comments like, “Why do I hear ‘0310’?“, “If you copy the guitar line from ‘0310’ almost exactly… This isn’t right” and “Is it okay to release a remake without the original artist knowing?“
“Love Next Door” is set to air its final episode this weekend.
