2NE1 was accused of plagiarism by Sony Music, as "I Don't Care" was alleged to sound similar to
Lionel Richie's "Just Go". Sony Korea has denied 2NE1 the ability to promote the track any further
without paying reparations. On September 21, 2009, Sisa Magazine, a news programme on MBC, stated
that officials from Sony reportedly sent YG Entertainment warning letters about plagiarism. Sony's
legal representative stated, "It was a hard decision for the music critics." However, they decided
that there were similarities and accordingly issued a warning letter to the production company and
composers. They have also denied YG Entertainment the permission to promote these songs. Their
labelmates Big Bang and their member, G-Dragon are also under fire for plagiarism claims.
