I don't think I'm experienced enough to make a whole video, but acc to what I learned in school, samples are fundamentally elements you collect from an existing source. This applies for music, science, etc. https://twitter.com/mywonflower/status/1294461647524962305
In a musical context, it can refer to extracting a small clip of audio from an existing piece of music, eg someone singing (like in bts' house of cards, where they sampled edith piaf) or a sound effect (the infamous bed creak)
But it's not limited by duration: if you take a microphone outdoors and recorded the birds chirping or you record yourself slapping your own face, those are also part of the sampling process
There's a video of day6 recording nature sounds outdoors for their album, but I can't find the original source (I know it was night time). If you remember that one video of dowoon speaking in english and mimicking the rain and crickets and stuff, that's the one
Again, disclaimer before I get into my personal arguments about this whole sampling thing:
I may be majoring in music, but this is really all I know about sampling. There's probably another in-depth example of samples that I don't know of, so take my words with a grain of salt.

Why this was NOT a sample (imo)
It doesn't fit the criteria that I just mentioned above. It was very clear that, although woozi and bumzu used a beat that is very similar to that of cupid shuffle, it wasn't ripped off from the instrumental

1) the hihats (the repeating high-pitched tiktiktik sounds) are different.
2) the kick pattern employed are vastly different.
3) there's this swiping sound (sorry I told you I'm not that experienced) in cupid shuffle that you hear on the left channel+

(If you're wearing earphones or listening on stereo speakers) that you do not hear in L&R.
On top of all of that, the SAMPLES (individual drum part hits, like the hihats and kicks and snares) both people used are almost entirely different. While it is possible to take a sample and synthesise it (aka 'photoshop' it) into something entirely different,
You can still clearly tell they don't sound the same.
However, what IS similar is the common beat pattern used in both songs. This is what I hear and I attribute it to the hi-hats and the snare patterns. If you deny that, you're probably just inexperienced in analysing music

In conclusion:
Beat pattern was similar, but to say it was a carbon copy is a stretch. Woozi probably wouldn't take the risk to rip off someone else's work knowing he has a KOMCA membership.

I apologise for making an insensitive continuation to this thread and I've deleted it :) I'm sorry for making anyone uncomfortable
Let's all be civil and let both sides settle this by themselves. Both countries may have different copyright systems that we're not knowledged about

Again I want to reiterate: my experience with sampling is very little. I barely completed a course about sampling this semester that I don't even know if I'm going to pass it because I'm so bad at tech. Everyone is welcome to bring up existing resources about this issue
If they counter my opinions, we're all just trying to learn and understand this topic better :)
Here is some information about copyrighting samples (which I didn't mention because I dom't think it was appropriate cuz idk anything) from someone! https://twitter.com/breadbabiee/status/1294488443720855554?s=19
