Title song writing credit controversy


In a case spanning 13 years, Universal Music Korea and songwriter, Kim Young Ah, were locked in a lawsuit regarding the proper lyrics writer credit for the album's title track.

In 2002, Kim was asked to write the lyrics for “No. 1” and was paid 2 million won (approx. US$1,800) from SM Entertainment after the song was accepted. Shortly afterwards, SM signed a music copyright licensing contract with Universal Music Korea. Since the song was not registered with the Korea Music Copyright Association prior to the contract, Universal Music Korea registered “No. 1” in 2003. However, they listed the songwriter/lyrics writer for the song as Sigurd Rosnes (Ziggy) and the original copyright holder as Saphary Songs.

In 2011, Kim requested to the Korea Music Copyright Association that they delay payment of royalties to Universal Music, and in 2012, she filed the lawsuit for confirmation of being the lyrics writer for the song.

On July 6, 2015, the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that in Kim's favor. Besides getting officially credited as the song's lyrics writer, she will be receiving 45 million won (approx. US$40,000) in royalties, as well as 5 million won (approx. US$4,400) in compensation for her psychological distress due to the issue.[5]
