Ha Sung Woon recently sang the PST part 2 of Jung Hae In and Jung So Min’s ongoing rom-com drama Love Next Door.

However, his agency has since denied the allegations.
Following Baek Ye Rin’s accusations, Ha Sung Woon’s agency BPM (Big Planer Made) Entertainment issued a statement through Korean media outlets. They made it clear that the singer had nothing to do with the plagiarism controversy.
They further clarified, “Ha Sung Woon participated as a singer on request of the drama production company. However, he wasn’t part of the writing, composing, and arranging process for What Are We?”
Having said that, BPM also made sure to apologize to the fans for raising concerns about this sudden plagiarism controversy. “ We hope that Baek Ye Rin and the OST production company can resolve the issue amicably," the agency added.
