"Geune feat. Gary (Leessang)" is a pop song recorded by Lee Hyori. It is track #7 on her fourth album H-Logic, and is one of the six songs composed by Bahnus accused of plagiarism; specifically from Mikis Theodorakis's song "To treno fevgi stis okto" or "The train leaves at eight" which was the tenth track on his 1967 album Ta Laika. Mnet Media released a statement concerning the 6 tracks on Lee's album accused of plagiarism and claimed "To treno fevgi stis okto" was an ancient Greek folk tune created by an unknown dead composer, therefore credit was impossible. However, it is public knowledge in Greece that Theodorakis along with poet Manos Eleftheriou, whom is now deceased, jointly own the songs created on Ta Laika; Theodorakis stylistically based the composition of the music on Greek folk music, while Eleftheriou wrote the lyrics based on an old Greek poem.

Geune was released as Lee's first single for H-Logic. Lyrically, the track is about love and despair.

Music Video

The music video was released on April 1, 2010. It featured a clown, whom represented Lee's ex-boyfriend, possessing a bag of luggage explained to represent Lee by the music video's director. The music video showed that he killed her emotionally, and because of that, Lee has come back to haunt him. She uses past memories to haunt him such as a cluster of black balloons and red shoes, and the clown tries to get rid of her by shooting and breaking a mirror she appears in.
