To reassure ファン who were worried about the situation, LOEN Entertainment 投稿されました a message on IU’s official フェイスブック page acknowledging the situation and assuring ファン that they are currently looking into it. A translation of the post can be found below:
Hello, this is IU’s agency LOEN. We would like to make an official response to the issue at hand with regards to the bonus track ‘Twenty-Three’ in IU’s mini-album [CHAT-SHIRE]. Last weekend after inquiring the producers about the issue at hand, we found that the producer used a voice sample that was in his possession through a 前 purchase during the mixing stage.
However, we decided that it is unclear how the producer came to be in possession of the sample, and are currently checking how this voice sample came about after contacting Britney Spears’s agency.
We will attempt to clear this issue as soon as possible, and will let あなた know what the results are very soon.
We are sorry that we worried ファン によって not being thorough in our album making process, and would like to thank and apologize ファン of Britney for discovering and bringing up an issue that we ourselves have missed.
