SB19 Ken
MARIING pinabulaanan ng miyembro ng P-pop group na SB19 na si Ken, o kilala rin sa tawag na Felip, ang alegasyon ng “plagiarism” laban sa kanya.
Nilinaw ni Felip na hindi niya kinopya ang kanyang solo comeback track na “Bulan” sa kantang “Lit” ng Chinese singer na si Lay Zhang.
Sa pamamagitan ng social media, naglabas ang SB19 member ng official statement hinggil sa sinasabing pagkakapareho ng “Bulan” at “Lit” pagdating sa “music and lyrics.”
Ayon kay Ken, nabuo nila ang bago niyang kanta mula sa iba’t ibang inspirasyon, “As the creation of art is often borne out of inspiration, it is inevitable for any of my (or any artist for that matter) songs to have some similarities in style with other artists as I often harness my musical references when creating.

“I’ve shared these references in multiple interviews to be the likes of Post Malone, Lay Zhang, One OK Rock, and Jaden Smith,” aniya.
“A closer examination of the chord progressions, instrumentation, samples used, and even syllabication will prove the claim otherwise.
“Moreover, the melody and the ethnic chants in ‘Bulan’ were based on indigenous Filipino ritual music, made modern with the addition of rock and hip-hop elements,” ang pahayag pa ni Ken.
Dagdag pa niya tungkol sa music video ng kanta, ito’y isang metaphor ng real-world issues, base na rin sa kulutara ng mga Filipino.
“‘Bulan’ was heavily and responsibly researched that details in the MV had its cultural basis, executed with some variations so as not to offend any cultures/indigenous population.
“As fans of Lay, we are saddened by the situation and wish to clarify that we did not intend to copy his work. We sincerely apologize for this unfortunate predicament and appreciate all the feedback we have received as a result of this.
“Moving forward, we will continue to create more art, break stereotypes, and promote Filipino culture and artistry,” depensa pa ng singer-songwriter.
