BTS’ global hit SWIM might be breaking records, but it has also become the subject of a copyright dispute after three American songwriters filed a lawsuit in the United States, alleging that the chart-topping single copied significant elements from an earlier demo track they created. The title track of the K-pop band’s comeback album ARIRANG recently won the Summer Song of the Year award at the American Music Awards, and now this claim is only bringing down its shine across the global rankings. Its music video, featuring the septet – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, has over 140 million views on YouTube.
