DOH video
"Rum Pum Pum Pum" by f(x)
There’s more trouble for the Department of Health (DOH) as the K-Pop label who owns the rights to the tune they used for the controversial anti-teenage pregnancy ad threatened to sue them for plagiarism (or copyright infringement).
In a report by InterAksyon on December 8, the label (S.M. Entertainment) was quoted telling Korean news agencies that they are now taking legal action against the DOH:
"By no means have we permitted the use of the music, 'Rum Pum Pum Pum.' The original publisher of 'Rum Pum Pum Pum' confirmed that the music used by the Philippines' public service campaign in question is indeed plagiarism[.]"
The DOH has yet to release a statement about the eyebrow-raising video they released on December 1.
