Lee Hyori is walking the fine line of plagiarism with her new MV for “U Go Girl.” There are 2-3 scenes in the MV that have a striking resemblance with Christina Aguilera’s hit song “Candy Man” and netizens are crying foul. But the producer thinks otherwise, posing a risque question of whether 2-3 similar scenes could be considered plagiarism. I don’t know, Mr. PD, you should have thought of that before instead of leaving Lee Hyori to defend herself that she’s not a cheap knock-off. But one thing is for sure, Lee Hyori’s song ‘U Go Girl’ is ORIGINAL.

I hope this doesn’t get blown out of proportions before the real MV is released. Lee Hyori has also been called a copy-cat for following Amy Winehouse’s crack concept and for her last MV “10 minutes”, where many netizens noticed that it resembled Jennifer Lopez’s “I’m Real”.

On a brighter note, Lee Hyori has stepped up her game! Her entire album is finally out. (It was out until it got ruthlessly taken down, however, you can download it yourselves for those who are resourceful.) There are 3 noticeable songs: 1)이발소 집 딸 (Barber’s daughter) – a personal, uplifting song of her childhood and family; she also visited her dad’s old barbershop on “Lee Hyori: Off the Record” to get inspiration for this song, 2) 사진첩 (Photobook) – a jazzy, bluesy, all-around sassy song, 3) Sexyboy – features Wheesung, who shows off his amazing voice once again after a successful recovery, 4) Unusual (ft. Seo Jung Hwan) – Youtubers are pointing out that the song is exactly like Timbaland’s song “Give it to Me” (ft. Nelly and Justin Timberlake).
