Songs by TVXQ, Kim Hyun Joong, Homme, and DJ DOC get banned as ‘harmful media’

Some Kpop songs have been recently banned becuase of their lyrics or music video content. This is because they're considered harmful  for the youth.


The music video for TVXQ’s “Before U Go“, Kim Hyun Joong’s “Please“, Homme’s “Still Eating Well“, and DJ DOC’s “Tonight” were added to the list of the new bans. As with previous bans, the reasoning lies in the mentioning of alcohol and other ‘hazardous content’, as well as the use of violence.

Kim Hyun Joong’s “Please” was banned for two lines that said, “Because I’m drunk” and “Between the spread of the cigarette smoke.”

The music video for “Before U Go” was banned for fear of promoting violence and gambling. Representatives of SM Entertainment retorted, “We have submitted material to refute their decision.”

So albums containing banned songs are not available for sale to minors under the age of 19 and cannot be played on radio or TV before 10 PM.
