“The Way” belongs exclusively to Epic Elite. In Thinh’s case, he was sued by American musician Zack Hemsey and Epic Elite Company for using a portion of the instrumental piece “The Way” in his music video “Cham khe tim anh” without their permission. In 2018, singers Noo Phuoc Thinh and Bao Thy were also alleged to have infringed other entertainers’ copyright. However, apart from the current case, Tung and his agency have not responded to any of these plagiarism or copyright infringement claims which were made only via the Internet.Īnd he’s not the only entertainer in Vietnam to have come under fire for copyright violation in the past few years. Among others, another of Tung’s music videos was observed to have similarities with not one, but two other artistic works: a music video of South Korean singer G-Dragon and the song “We Don't Talk Anymore” by the world- famous American singer Charlie Puth. There have been other, albeit unofficial, accusations in the past.
The bigger picture is that this isn’t the first time Tung was singled out for plagiarism. Therefore, GC Beats has decided to re-instate Tung’s video on YouTube with goodwill. GC’s post stated that the two parties had spoken and have come to understand each other’s sides. On February 24, Tung’s management agency M-TP Entertainment shared an Instagram post by GC on its Facebook fan page. The following day however, "Chung Ta Cua Hien Tai" was back on YouTube. Viewers of the channel’s “Is You Mine” video had noted the similarities in rhythm. GC is owned by a London-based music producer. It was alleged to have infringed on a copyright by GC Beats, another channel on YouTube. On February 22, 2021, the video was taken off the platform. The 15-minute video catapulted Tung to greater fame, making him the first Vietnamese singer to have 8 million YouTube subscribers.Īnd then he fell from grace, or so it seemed. “Run Now” is a hip-hop/rap influenced R&B song, composed by Son Tung himself.In December 2020, YouTube began showing the pop music video "Chung Ta Cua Hien Tai" (We of the Present) by Vietnamese sensation Son Tung M-TP.

This is an achievement not just for Son Tung M-TP, but also for the Vietnamese pop scene in general. His previous music video for “Lac Troi” (Afloat) attracted five million viewers on the first day.Īfter 24 hours, "Run Now" attracted an impressive 22 million views, becoming Asia’s most viewed music video in a day on YouTube, dethroning the previous record set by famous K-pop boy group BTS, whose music video for their hit song “DNA” surpassed 20.9 million views.
