The plagiarism dispute between K-pop girl group NewJeans and British jazz-funk band Shakatak looks likely to become drawn out.
Shakatak, which were founded in 1980, wrote on their official account on social platform X that they have hired a musicologist to analyse the similarities between their 1981 song Easier Said Than Done and NewJeans’ latest hit, Bubble Gum.
