Back in 2015, Taeyeon decided to pursue a solo career, wherein it kicked off quite well with her major solo debut of "I." Further showing her full potential as an artist, she released several tracks that were also hitting the airwaves such as "Rain," "Why" and her latest "11:11."
The Girls' Generation member Taeyeon has already released its digital single "11:11" and has been making its way to the top 20 of the Best K-Pop Songs of 2016, according to Billboard. However, with all the hit songs that she has been releasing, Taeyeon also seems to be making a buzz on media not just with her success but also some for the wrong reasons.
Recently, the producers of Taeyeon's newest track "11:11" have been accused of allegedly plagiarizing other artists' songs.
According to Koreaboo, a popular YouTube channel has highlighted the music and its producers, Christian Vinten and Chelcee Grimes, for plagiarizing the chord progressions of the song from other artists' tracks.
"11:11's" instrumentals has been compared to the Artist vs. Poet's "Kids Again" track, and as well as Jordin Sparks' "One Step at a Time."
After listening to the comparisons, many fans have been left agreeing with the accusations, saying that the only difference between Taeyeon's "11:11" and the other two songs is the octaves of the tracks.
Furthermore, earlier this month, Taeyeon and American rapper Wiz Khalifa were supposed to do a collaborative performance of "See You Again" during the 2016 MAMA. However, the latter claims that the former backed out of the performance, minutes before Khalifa went up on stage. The rapper took to twitter expressing his disappointments.
Meanwhile, Taeyeon posted through Instagram to share her side of the story, saying that the audio issues were the reason. Khalifa fired back, saying that the k-pop idol was lying and claimed that Taeyeon said that she has to go to the hospital the night before the performance.
Taeyeon and Khalifa have been going back and forth on social media, as the latter claimed that the k-pop idol lied about her reasons for cancelling the performance.
