During her stay in Korea, it was revealed that she was informed of what YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-Suk had to say about the plagiarism controversy. Regarding to the the accusation against YG, Yang Hyun-Seok stated:"A few days ago, Mariah Carey's new song, Standing O teaser was released on youtube. Comparing this song to In The Club, you get 8 bars of similar parts. It is 24 seconds, instead of 5 seconds, also has it as its major motive, and adding up the similar parts together, results in approximately 1 minute. What is Sony ATV's opinion towards this song? I don't know, but I am sure that you can't easily say that Mariah Carey has plarigiarized 2NE1's song that was released 3 months ago, although it contains longer and clearer motives from In The Club."
A member of team that promoted Mariah's visit to Korea said, "The controversy was explained in detail to Mariah by her management." The explanation included accusations against G-Dragon, the trouble between YG and Sony ATV, and YG's official statement including the part where he mentioned Mariah's new song. After receiving this information, Mariah answered, "Too complicated," and made a smile, according to the member.
Mariah Carey was in Seoul to promote her new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. She arrived on October 12 and left Korea on 15th for Japan.

Actually YG stated this as an example of how two songs can result of sharing the same rhythm.
