MTV show, and they sang a version of "Let It Go," rearranged by B.I. and originally performed for Mnet\'s survival program \'Mix & Match.\' 

Though the group\'s performance of this version aired about a month ago, netizens took notice more recently. Under the video clip of the performance, they wrote: 

"Hanbin work hard remake this song! Why don\'t give credit to Hanbin? [sic]" 

"A complete plagiarism of the Mix&match version, completely shameless." 

"B.I work so so hard for this song!!! give credit to him !!" 

"What the hell? this was just a copy and paste. Woah I\'m angry rn. Think about how hard Hanbin worked to produce the song and this trio comes up and steals it. shame on you. [sic]" 

"i came here thinking they\'d only use the same music arrangement but everything is exactly the same even the adlibs？？wow i see zero creativity here the fact that the only thing they did was change the lyrics to chinese, there isn\'t even a bit of originality in it, not even the way they sing it. all the hard work hanbin did for this song can\'t even deserve a credit here? [sic]" and many more comments which expressed similar sentiments.

Watch F.T. Island, Fei, Zhoumi, Ste…

The first version was already cringeworthy enough, this was even worse. LeeHi saved the original though.

Gavin . I agree that Catherine `s rep0rt is really great, last week I bought Ariel Atom from having earned $6399 this munth and would you believe, ten/k last munth . it\'s actualy the most financialy rewarding I have ever done . I started this 8-months ago and practically straight away was bringin in over $76... per-hour.......============    Ｗ­­Ｗ­­Ｗ．f­a­c­t­o­r­y­o­f­i­n­c­o­m­e．Ｃ­­Ｏ­­Ｍ

Take note when M4 finished their performance, the host in the middle complimented them, while the other two agree with him. He basically said he thought they would just perform the song as it is, but did not expect them to be creative and rearrange the song. Though they did change the lyrics to Chinese, I had to disagree with their claims about rearranging the song themselves. I\'d appreciate some credit given.

WOW!!! Seriously?! Its *literary* copy and paste.. zero creativity -_-

well, to be fair, this was on Chinese MTV who holds the rights to anything made in mix n match (which was also an MTV show). On another note, maybe now the Netizens know what westerners feel like when their Kpop idols plagiarize a Western song \_(ツ)_/¯

Shes Chinese-- that explains.LmaoQueens of Keep stealing island and everything.kekeke

The video isn\'t translated but I read the Youtube comments and some people are saying that the group discussed how hard they worked to rearrange the song. So it\'s clear plagiarism if that was the case.  They should\'ve gave B.I. credit since it was his arrangement.

Oooooh, not surprised at all. It\'s an Chinese show. LOL.
