We reported before about the allegation to Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way" plagiarizing SNSD's "Be Happy". Many fans commented "Does Lady Gaga know SNSD?", "It's similar yes but not intentionally" and "They both copy the notes and chords from Express yourself by Madonna!".

E-Tribe's Ahn Myungwon who composed "Be Happy" responded to this issue and said “The plagiarism allegation had been brought up by many people and it can be seen everywhere. However, we have no immediate plans on this. Honestly, the flow and arrangement of the songs are similar. I have since talked and gathered opinions from fellow experts. There were divided opinions on this as there were intricate portions of the song that make it difficult to support the allegation. Thus, we plan to respond to this matter calmly”

He also added "I do feel that there are similarities. The way the song flows and the arrangements are, honestly, the same. I am currently working to get in contact with Lady Gaga’s publishing label to find further information."

But this major allegation needs to asses furtherly and to confirm more about the case, Ahn Myungwon said Ahn added, "My opinion has not changed. I still think that Gaga’s new song is similar to mine. I will take my time and a step-by-step approach to assess this problem."
