Faced with this doubt, Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy – director and producer of the movie `The Boy That Year` – had to submit an application to the Copyright Department (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) for an appraisal opinion.

Talking to VnExpress, musician Pho Duc Phuong shared: `The song Maybe someone will come back has plagiarism.`

Son Tung is both the main actor in the movie `The Boy That Year` and the composer of the soundtrack.
Some figures in the professional world also share the same opinion with VCPMC.

Mr. The Bao cited that there are many songs with the same harmony but different melodies that are still counted as two separate works.
Currently, the Copyright Office has not made a final conclusion about the incident.
