KBS is being its usual strict self as Akdong Musician's "Galaxy" from their debut album 'PLAY' has been deemed unsuitable for broadcast.

A YG Entertainment rep stated on the 16th, "According to the review by the three major broadcast stations (KBS, SBS, MBC), 'Galaxy' has been deemed unsuitable for broadcast by KBS... We do not plan on sending it for reexamination... Except 'Galaxy', all of the other tracks passed the review of the three major broadcast stations."


It might be hard to believe, but KBS has banned "Galaxy" due to its title and the word "galaxy" being repeated over and over in the lyrics of the song. Why? Because it may be confused for an advertisement for the smartphone by the same name.


What do you think about KBS' most recent decision?
