Overseasidol.com — Taiwanese singer Ella Chen has recently come under public attention after performing several classic S.H.E songs during her concert.
Earlier reports from Taiwanese media suggested that Ella had paid a significant sum to her former label, HIM, to acquire the copyrights for those songs.
However, HIM International Music swiftly denied the claim.
On the 19th, the company released an official statement clarifying that the original sound recording copyrights of S.H.E’s songs remain fully under Huayan’s ownership, and any public use requires prior authorization.
Huayan further emphasized that no request for licensing or payment has been received from Ella’s side regarding the use of S.H.E’s original recordings in her concert.
The statement directly counters speculation that the copyrights had already been purchased.
The issue quickly ignited widespread discussion among fans and industry insiders, as S.H.E is widely regarded as one of the most influential girl groups in Mandopop history.
Copyright matters involving legacy music catalogs are often sensitive, particularly when artists perform iconic works associated with former agencies.
