Recently, the production crew of Son Tung M-TP's MV "Come my way" was accused of occupying art with the work "Tan chi" by visual artist Le Giang.
On the evening of June 5, representatives of Antiantiart sent apologies to M-TP Talent Joint Stock Company and singer Son Tung M-TP for the impacts arising from the incident.
On M-TP Entertainment's side, the company said that it always emphasizes compliance with the law, respect for intellectual property rights and creative values in all artistic activities. This is also a requirement set by the unit for partners and service providers when participating in project implementation.
M-TP Entertainment said that they have recorded official information and remedial actions from Antiantiart, and continue to monitor the working process between the parties involved to clarify the case.
Before "Come my way", many MVs of Son Tung M-TP were also involved in scandals related to music copyright, images, and details in the MV.
At the end of April 2022, Son Tung M-TP's MV "There's no one at all" was requested to be removed from online platforms due to containing images and messages considered negative.
In particular, the ending scene related to self-harm has sparked much debate and concern about the impact on young audiences.
After the incident, the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism administratively fined the male singer's company 70 million VND, and at the same time requested to remove and destroy the violating recording.
Later, Son Tung M-TP released a different version with content adjusted in a more positive direction.
In February 2021, Son Tung M-TP's MV "We of the Present" once attracted attention when it was suddenly hidden from YouTube due to copyright complaints from producer GC.
This unit believes that the beat of the song has many similarities with the "Is you mine" remix made by them. At that time, users accessing the MV received a notice that the video was unavailable due to copyright disputes.
However, just one day later, the MV was restored on the YouTube platform after the relevant parties resolved the incident.
Previously, the MV "Em cua ngay hom qua" released in 2014 was removed from some platforms for a short time due to controversy related to suspicions of similarity with the EXID group's song "Every night". After that, the product was restored.
And the MV "Not Just Right" in 2015 caused much controversy when some opinions suggested that the content had subtle details reminding or implying senior artists.
Faced with public reaction, Son Tung M-TP's crew proactively edited and released a new replacement version.
