A Men's Rights Group files a request to ban Baek Ji Young's "Good Boy"



An organization who call themselves the 'Men's Rights Group' has issued a request to prohibit the distribution of Baek Ji Young's new single, "Good Boy".

On May 21st, the organization wrote via their official Twitter page, "Baek Ji Young's "Good Boy" belittles all men, comparing the relationship with a man to a relationship between a dog and it's owner."

"The song is about an older woman who is training the younger man she is in a relationship with," they continued. "The way the man talks back to the woman is described as 'barking', and 'biting the owner'."

"The MV itself even reveals a dog, giving the idea that men are treated as obedient dogs," they added, explaining their reasons for requesting the ban. "Young men that listen to them obediently as well as dogs may be the fantasy of old women out there who dream of�zooerastia, but normal, healthy men feel absolutely offended by songs like these. Even during a time where men ruled the world, men never treated women like dogs."

However, Baek Ji Young's representatives came to their own defense saying, "It is just a witty simile to describe the 'bad guys', it wasn't meant to be offensive or belittling to men in any way."

Netizens who heard the news wrote in response, "I guess it depends on how you listen to it...", "Seems like good noise marketing for Baek Ji Young", and "I guess it could be misinterpreted."

In related news, the organization also previously filed a request to ban the movie "You're My Pet" for belittling men, but the courts dismissed their case, ruling that they did not have a persuasive argument.
