Mnet's popular reality competition show 'Unpretty Rapstar' was recently deemed as inappropriate by the Korea Communication Standards Commission for allowing swear words and profane gestures to be broadcast on air.�

On May 7, a rep from the commission stated, "This program has female rappers competing against one another for a rap contest while releasing obscene gestures and soundbites that include swear words that can clearly be recognized as obscene for a long period of time," before revealing their decision to suspend the program and their plans to take disciplinary actions against the producers behind the show.
