[Dispatch=Reporter Park Hye-jin] Singer John Park's "McDonald's Order Rap" music has been unlawfully registered overseas. Currently, deletion of the music is being discussed.

Music Farm Entertainment stated on the 11th, "We have confirmed that John Park's 'McDonald's Order Rap' music has been registered and distributed on overseas music platforms without prior consent from our company and the original creator."

"McDonald's Order Rap" is a song John Park released through YouTube on the 23rd of last month. Kwak Jin-eon wrote the lyrics. John Park composed and arranged it. It garnered attention for its flavorful rap. As of 11 a.m., it surpassed 8.87 million views.

However, the music was registered on music sites under the title "McDonald's" by singer Yoyotina through Nigeria-based Jungle Entertainment Ventures on the 2nd. The music was uploaded without authorization.

John Park's side stated, "Music is a precious creative work where the creator's efforts and rights must be respected," and pointed out that "the act of commercially using and distributing it without the original creator's consent is a matter that could infringe on the creator's rights."

The team is currently in discussion with platforms and relevant organizations to delete the illegally distributed music and prevent further distribution. They are also reviewing necessary responses to protect the rights and interests of the original creator and artist.

A official said, "In particular, with the recent development of AI technology, cases of unauthorized use of others' creative works or voices are increasing. This is a time when careful response is needed," adding "We will respond with responsibility so that artists' rights can be respected."
