They are going far and beyond to prove plagiarism claims against NewJeans. Previously, they wrote a certified letter to ADOR demanding answers, credits, and a revenue share.

In return, ADOR requested a credible analysis, proving that Bubble Gum is a copy of their 1982 hit song, Easier Said Than Done.

In a recent development, Shakatak took to X to share that they have hired a musicologist to look into plagiarism claims.

On July 19 (local time), the British band shared their official stance on the matter, stating, “Our publishing company Wise Music Group is on the case and has employed a musicologist to take this further.”

They also thanked fans in Korea for showing support and pointing out the similarities between the two songs.

NewJeans’ agency, ADOR, has rejected Shakatak’s plagiarism claims, insisting that Bubble Gum does not contain any unauthorized use of Shakatak’s music. ADOR has called on Shakatak to provide concrete evidence, in the form of a credible analysis report, to support their allegations. 

This move comes after Shakatak’s law firm sent a formal legal notice in June, demanding that NewJeans stop using Bubble Gum and pay damages.
