Well, this isn't really the hottest news right now, it's out several hours ago in SOOMPI and somehow I am interested in knowing more about this situation, so I decided to give a little investigation about it myself.
There had been a rumor around Netizens, accusing FT Island to plagiarise a song from Jason Mraz. The 4th track in their 3rd album, CROSS & CHANGE, 천사와 나무꾼 (Angel & Woodman) was told to plagiarise a song from Jason Mraz titled Live High. So here's Jason Mraz's Live High song to be compared.
So, I gave a try and listened to both ; to be honest and since I have to put aside my biased side towards FT Island to actually write this post, yes, I do hear some similarities from both songs, but only on the aspect of the music. The intro, especially the guitar chords for both songs sounded similar, but not seriously a rip off as said by some people. As the song from FT Island progressed, I sense no more similarities, as the chorus was totally different. The choruses for both songs are totally different. Surely, anyone who isn't deaf could notice this, right?
In my opinion, surely it sounded the same but there are thousands of other songs which sounded the same to each other. The choruses are different. The only thing similar was the guitar chords at the beginning. The music is indeed almost similar, but the lyrics and the feeling of the songs aren't the same. The question now is, does F&C actually bought the copyright of the song, was the really a plagiarism, or was 천사와 나무꾼 only inspired by Jason Mraz's song?
I'll be good, I'll wait for further news, perhaps from F&C Music themselves to speak up about the truth behind this song. But if this matter was brought up to down grade FT Island's 3rd album by some jealous (or crazy) anti-fans, I pray that whoever did this will die and rot in hell or maybe I'll be good and just wish those people have a better things to do.

i think that the intro is just the same but not all of the song. totally different! hehe.
but, BING BING BING. don't u think it's the same as mc fly's song?? five colours in her hair.. :)
@chadacassiopeia ;;
yes, I truly thought that Bing Bing Bing was similar to McFly's song, but then again, I think it's just some similarities here and there, not the entire song being exactly the same.
But I don't know, maybe that is just what I think.
