DBSK wants you under their sky?

GhostWriter in Music | 10 Dec 2008 - 09:51 AM

Many of you know already that DBSK / TVXQ's Mirotic was being censored by the Korean Ministry of Health. Well, the edited (cleaned up) version was recently uploaded and it's basically the same song. The only thing that changed was the line "Under My Skin" to "Under My Sky."

The change just made it Engrish-friendly... what was the point in changing Skin to Sky? How did they get something that was harmful to the youth from "Under My Skin?" There's been a lot more provocative and explicit language used in KPOP music before, but why the sudden banning of songs now? I can see how someone could misinterpret Rain's music that was banned, but not this.

Listen to the change here (credit: yuulinajoongie and ambot)

This makes no sense. Did they change the Red Ocean I hear they left the crystal. I thought that was where most of the (fake) controversy lied.

I love Jaejoong, but NEVER EVER don that outfit EVER AGAIN. I don’t even care if I see chest. It’s hideous. And why is he always the one with the dead animal on his body. :/ Too much fur for him, give it to someone else already.

Hearing the changed lyrics makes goosebumps appear on my skin, and makes me roll my eyes. And laugh. So much fail.

Congratulations for getting three awards, especially for daesang. :D

LOL so we misunderstood the ministry for the crystal and red ocean thingies?
But, will this version get banned again? Because when I first heard it, I suddenly think ‘ooh you can get me where ever you want, baby’. And seriously I didn’t even think any perv in the original Mirotic.

What’s the point of making them change the lyrics now? The song has been out for months and I am pretty sure that most “kids” will still be singing the original version. I think the people at the Ministry have nothing else better to do so they started picking on K-Pop artists.

ugh…i don’t like the changed lyrics…
when i saw them perform it felt like they were holding back..
and i thought “under my skin” wasn’t comprehensive, but now “under my sky” makes no sense at all…
i hope the lawsuit prevails..DBSK Ka-ching Ka-ching~~

Ok the “Under my skin” part was one of the only few times when DBSK had an English pass.
But “Under my sky”?
English fail.
I still want a version of this song though XD
And yeah…we are all living under the sky…so… ._.
All I have to say is:
Congrats DBSK. This minor setback is only gonna help you even more ^_^

agree with Shattered_Regrets
the song went from having english parts to engrish parts instead DD:
and “under my sky” is nowhere near as powerful as “under my skin” T_T
they didn’t change anything else?
