S. Korean female band to get tough on overseas plagiarism

   SEOUL, March 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's top female pop group Wondergirls plans to take legal action against several overseas entertainment firms for plagiarizing its hit song "Nobody," the group's agent said Friday.

"Several Asian entertainment companies in China, Thailand and Cambodia have been making illegal profits off of 'Nobody' by remaking the song without permission and copying the costumes and dance moves. This is going beyond a tolerable level," Seoul's JYP Entertainment said in a press release.
