South Korean pop star Yoon Mi-rae is threatening Sony Pictures Entertainment with legal action, according to the South Korean news agency Yonhap.<\/p>\n
It says her label Feel Ghood claims one of her songs was used in the film The Interview without permission.<\/p>\n
The Interview is a comedy about the assassination attempt of Kim Jong-un.<\/p>\n
The song is said to have been used in a scene in which the actor playing the North Korean leader drinks and plays billiards with women who are wearing underwear.<\/p>\n
The Interview had its launch cancelled after a major cyber attack at the hands of a group calling itself the Guardians of Peace.<\/p>\n
The hackers threatened to carry out a terrorist attack on cinemas that showed the film on its scheduled release date of Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
The US accused the North Koreans of being behind the hack, something the country denies.<\/p>\n
After many cinemas pulled out, Sony cancelled the release but confirmed on Christmas eve that it would be streamed online.<\/p>\n
The film is also being shown at some independent US cinemas.<\/p>\n
Newsbeat is waiting for a response from both Sony Pictures Entertainment and Feel Ghood.<\/p>\n
