Pledis apologizes for MBC Radio accusations
Share

After playing After School’s new track “Because of You” prematurely on Taeyeon’s “Chin Chin Radio,” MBC radio demanded an apology from Pledis for a vicious attack on their station.

Radio stations usually get the tracks before the actual release so that they can review lyrics and make sure everything is in the clear before airing the track after the release, but obviously someone didn’t get the memo.

On the 24th, Pledis released a formal complaint saying, “MBC FM4U prematurely aired After School’s new single “Because of You” on Taeyeon’s “Chinhan Chingu (Best Friend) Radio.”

Pledis also claimed that because of the leak, the track quickly spread all over the web and caused heavy losses.

However, MBC demanded an apology for the attack.

On the 23rd MBC released a statement saying, “Because the formal process was followed, there should have been no problem with airing the track. Pledis has been unfair in their defamation of our radio.”

Pledis responded on the 30th by saying that the examination schedule had not been followed on their part and that they are very sorry for questioning the integrity of MBC.

Aww, what a nice kiss and make up story. Hopefully all is well and there won’t be any hard feelings between Pledis and MBC.

Of course, hopefully is idealistic…

    @base2800: So? I still think MBC is lame. They know they will get bashed but they still do it. I don’t say what they did is wrong, they have the right to do it, but they know people will bash them to create “noise”. However, by using “noise”, both parties can get their names out there. So in the end, both are lame. One like to hit (Pledis) and one like to be hit (MBC), both are dumb, you just can’t single one out saying that particular party want publicity, as if the other gain nothing from this lame marking strategy.

    i love AS and I really like MBC. hopefully something like this doesnt’ happen again. I can’t wait to see them on the next music core, supposing they’ll be there. Because Of You and When I Fall are just amazing songs. I am always looking forward to more by them.
