Meghan Trainor copied Korean tune for All About That Bass?
US singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, 20, has been accused of copying the tune for her hit singleAll About That Bass from a Korean song.
According to online publication Mwave, the song's tune is very similar to that of a 2006 Korean song titled Happy Mode by three-membered group, Koyote.
The song currently sits at No. 2 on the Billboard charts and its accompanying video has raked in just under 30 million views on YouTube.
The similarities between the two songs were brought to the attention of the Happy Mode's songwriter and producer Joo Young Hoon.
Earlier today, Joo tweeted: "I am consulting a specialised lawyer."
