Taiwanese pop sensation Jay Chou took to Instagram a week ago to share a 24-second teaser for a song he had been previously working on.

Many fans of the K-pop group Infinite soon began noticing similarities between the melody of Chou’s unreleased song and the prelude of the group’s popular 2011 track Julia. It wasn’t long before netizens started accusing Chou of stealing the chords.
