In 2000s, Taiwanese music industry used to copy Korean songs without permission or remake the songs with the approval. The social media was not big then, Koreans did not know about Taiwanese music market as much as Taiwanese people did not know about Korean music market.

Will Pan plagiarized Korean songs without any permission other than 我讓你走了 that he bought the copyright from the Korean singer and 快樂崇拜 that he got the approval.

He's been accused of copying 20 Korean songs without any permissions from 2000 to 2007.

He also did in 2017, but he made an apology because K-POP was pretty big in Taiwan at that time.

His biggest hit song is 不得不愛 which copied Freestyle's Tell me Why without any permission.

Freestyle filed a lawsuit in Taiwan against Taiwanese singer Wilber Pan for illegally plagiarizing their song "Y (Please Tell Me Why)". However, the Taiwanese court dismissed the lawsuit in the first instance because Taiwan did not officially recognize the copyright of South Korea due to lack of diplomatic relations at that time.

Do people know about the stories of his songs ?

He still seems so popular.

Is cpop in Mainland China really dead?

I have heard of numerous Chinese singers born in the 80s, 90s, and some 00s. Heard, meaning only surface level. I'm not exactly a heavy music listener outside western artists. Are they all that bad?

How good are Joker Xue, Silence Wang, Li Ronghao, Yu Zi, Huang Xiaoyun, Shan Yichun, etc

They can't all be terrible. I get that they may not have the influence of Taiwanese singers like Jolin, Jay, Leehom, etc but are they all that bad?

PS: I know Silence Wang was criticized on Singer 2024 but the guy still held overseas concerts. He also does great OSTs. Wang also did well on Singer 2018 and Singer 2020 iirc.

For me, it was Ulan Tuya. I came across one of her songs through a YouTube rabbit hole, and I didn't look back. She's a genuinely great singer, with some incredible music backing her up, whether she's solo or dueting with people like Yun Fei.

Story behind GAI and his influence?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I couldn't find a chiphop subreddit.

Basically recently went on a rabbit hole after watching Rap of China 2025, and from there, I ended up on a Top Barry and Rapeter song released recently called DD backseat, and in that song he references GAI and bridge as his top 2 brothers? I also remember bridge had a performance in ROC2025 where he said he only recognises GAI as like the master of hiphop or something, and I just want to know where this GAI/bridge influence comes from
