CNBLUE released an official apology to indie band
Crying
Nut and pleaded for a reconciliation on the lawsuit filed against the idol band for copyright
infringement.
On the 15th, CNBLUE’s agency FNC Entertainment released an
official statement on their homepage, “During the urgent situation of a live
broadcast, we could not properly discern the song and led our artists to perform
it on stage which we admit our agency is undeniably at fault and issue an
apology.”
“The controversial broadcast material was released in the DVD without our
knowledge, and we couldn’t catch on and respond to the distribution process
beforehand. We are also regretful of how this issue arose today. On behalf of
the members, we sincerely send our apology to sunbaes Crying Nut for the trouble
inflicted upon them through this chain of events. We have a deep understanding
of the problem raised and we promise that we will work hard to prevent these
things from happening in the future. However, regarding the DVD as according to
the news releases of various media outlets and broadcasters, we will say once
again that we did not participate in its commercial release. We express our deep
regret at the recently surfaced controversy involving CNBLUE. This will serve as
a learning experience and we will do our best to prevent another incident like
this from happening. We will do our best to create a smooth reconciliation
concerning this issue.”
Crying Nut filed a lawsuit against CNBLUE because the idol band previously
performed Crying Nut’s “Offside” on
‘M!Countdown‘ back in 2010 and the recorded performance was
later included in their DVD released in Japan. However, Mnet
had stepped forward to say they would be taking responsibility for
the lawsuit. Crying Nut responded by asking Mnet to not interfere in their lawsuit against CNBLUE.
