Upon hearing Shen Yuege's question, Jin Zhixun was visibly taken aback.
However, he genuinely lacked evidence, so he forced himself to say, "Only producers from our country, South Korea, could create such a mature style of K-pop music! That's the proof!"
Shen Yuege laughed dismissively, "So, you only have this one reason to doubt us?"
"Don't you know that the Dragon Kingdom has a long history of five thousand years?"
"Don't you know that China has 960 million square kilometers?"
"What kind of knowledge could a tiny, insignificant country like yours possibly have to resort to such slander?"
Shen Yuege's voice was firm and resolute, leaving Jin Zhixun momentarily speechless: "That's not what I meant..."
"So what do you mean?" Liu Siqi chimed in, her voice equally disdainful. "Judging us as plagiarism based on your feelings? Which song? Which part? Point it out to me."
Kim Ji-hoon was rendered speechless by the rebuttal. He had completely lost the arrogant and defiant attitude he had displayed before he arrived.
He didn't have any concrete evidence, but a strong sense of déjà vu made him suspicious.
He originally thought that after he raised his questions, the production team would move on from the matter with a post-event investigation, and he would have time to find evidence of plagiarism in their songs.
South Korea has a detection system that includes all South Korean works, and Kim Ji-hoon doesn't believe that there aren't similar songs in it.
However, at this point, even though he has no evidence, he cannot back down.
Once he backs down, he loses his momentum, and even if it is later proven that Shen Yuege and the other person plagiarized, he will not be able to gain any benefit from it.
"This style of music has been around for decades in South Korea! We still can't produce such excellent works, and you Chinese have only been involved for a few years? How could you suddenly produce such mature works? This doesn't make sense!"
"Illogical?" Shen Yuege raised an eyebrow and asked sternly, "So, just because you say it's illogical, our work becomes plagiarism? Do you Koreans ever give evidence when you speak?"
"Okay, since you say you didn't plagiarize, then I request the production team to conduct a similarity check on these two songs in the music library on the spot. Whether it's plagiarism or not, it will be clear after a check."
Kim Ji-hoon was convinced it was plagiarism, so he thought that when he made this request, the other party would definitely be scared.
Even if this song isn't plagiarized, with so many songs in their Korean music library, he doesn't believe there isn't a similar one among them.
The style and melody of Shen Yuege and her partner's songs must have drawn heavily on works from South Korea.
If the similarity is high enough, he can easily claim it's plagiarism.
"Okay!" Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi agreed in unison.
This reaction surprised Kim Ji-hoon.
This isn't right, shouldn't we be panicking and afraid?
Does the Chinese not understand the seriousness of plagiarism?
However, now that things have come to this point, Kim Ji-hoon still trusts his own judgment.
Even if it's a song he wrote himself, it's impossible for it to be 100% original in the music library.
It's already quite difficult for an original song to achieve less than 5% of the score.
After all, there are only so many possible combinations of musical notes, so there will always be one or two similar melodies.
Seeing that none of the people had any objections, the host quickly contacted the backstage director to see if they could check the similarity of the music using big data.
After receiving a response from the production team, the host quickly added, "The production team has contacted a third-party music copyright verification agency. They can check the originality of the songs by comparing them against their database. This process may take some time..."
"It's okay, we can wait," Shen Yuege replied decisively.
Kim Ji-hoon nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly reached its peak.
The audience was buzzing with discussion, and the host quickly tried to quell the tension by switching to other topics to ease the audience's impatience while they waited.
However, the audience was clearly very interested in this kind of thing, and they didn't seem annoyed at all; in fact, they seemed quite happy.
After all, it's rare to witness a program accident firsthand.
They caught up with us, and even after we got out, it became a great topic of conversation.
The number of viewers watching the live stream surged to 80 million at that moment, and related topics dominated the top ten trending topics on Weibo.

#Does the Chinese music scene need to prove its innocence?#
Such related topics continue to emerge.
Even Lu Ran, who was watching from outside the screen, put down his work and decided to witness this moment together.
Lu Ran wasn't worried at all about the plagiarism issue with the song.
Lu Ran had heard of works from China, South Korea, and even Japan.
In terms of quality, it's simply incomparable to my past life.
Even if there is only a small similarity, in this world, even if it doesn't become very popular, it won't be completely unknown.
Judging from Kim Ji-hoon's expression and words, Lu Ran knew that he had never heard a song similar to this one. If he had, he could have just taken out that song and compared it directly; there was no need to waste so much effort.
Lu Ran knew exactly what Kim Ji-hoon was planning.
Twenty minutes later, the test results came out.
A staff member handed a report to the host.
At this moment, all the attention was focused on the host.
Whether Lu Ran's song can be proven to be plagiarized depends on this test report.
The host took a deep breath and read into the microphone:
"According to the real-time comparison by a third-party music copyright testing agency, the core musical elements of the two songs, such as melody, harmony, and rhythm, sung by Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi, have a similarity of 1.7% and 1.9% respectively in the existing global copyright database, which is far below the 15% suspected plagiarism warning line."
The host looked up at Kim Ji-hoon and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "Mr. Kim Ji-hoon, according to the test results, these two songs are original works."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Shen Yuege and Liu Siqi smiled at each other; they both genuinely believed in Lu Ran.
Upon hearing this result, Kim Ji-hoon's face instantly turned deathly pale.
How could such obvious Korean style not be detected as plagiarism?
"Impossible...this is impossible..." Kim Ji-hoon muttered to himself, taking two steps back.
The host continued: "At the same time, the test report pointed out that although these two songs borrowed elements of internationally popular electronic dance music in terms of style, they also had a lot of innovative treatment in terms of melody creation, lyric adaptation, and arrangement details, forming a unique Chinese electronic dance music style, which is a pioneering melody."
Kim Ji-hoon stopped listening to the host, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something. His absent-minded look vanished instantly, replaced by a confident and triumphant expression.
He knew why the test result was so low; he had found the reason. This time, he would definitely expose the true face of that person named Lu Ran.
Thinking of this, Kim Ji-hoon stepped forward and snatched the microphone from the host.
