In music, the practice of interpolation refers to the technique of re-recording parts of the melody of a previous song, in contrast to sampling using original audio footage. This technique still requires legal permission and license from the copyright holder of the original song.

 

However, the virtual world has recently been enlivened by controversy between the newcomer K-Pop group BabyMonster and the legendary American hip-hop group J.J. Entertainment. This problem arose after Imbers BABYMONSTER released the song "Hot Sauce", which is said to contain interpolation of J.J. J. R. R. Martin's song "Supersonic". Fad released in 1988.

 

J.J.'s side. Fad himself through his official TikTok account expressed his admiration because their work was considered to be an inspiration. However, they also confirmed that there had never been a permit or payment for the use of elements from the song "Supersonic". It's not weird anymore.

 

"We're really flattered because BabyMonster does Supersonic interpolation. The problem is they never ask for permission to use it or pay for its use. Better call us soon, write J.J. Fad on their TikTok, July 6, 2025.

Their upload sparked heated debates among international music fans. Many supported J.J. Fad and highlighted the importance of ethics and law in the creative industry, especially regarding music copyright.

 

The song "Supersonic" itself is known as one of the most iconic female hip-hop songs of all time. Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER's "Hot Sauce" featured an energetic and beat style that netizens considered "literally Supersonic".

 

Although YG Entertainment as the agency of BABYMONSTER has not yet made an official statement, this case has opened another important discussion about respect for original music works and the need for transparency in the practice of interpolation in the global industry.
