Shinhwa Jun Jin Kpop Korean Music

The cockhead, Jun Jin of Shinhwa was hit with some bad news recently as his Music Video for "Wa" was banned from all the major networks on Korean TV. The Korean Censorship Board said that the video had too much sexual content and restricted it to viewers ages 19 and up. The most popular station's such as SBS, MBC, and KBS are banned from playing his video.

JF Story Entertainment said, "The banning of the video will put a hamper to our promotional plans. This was Jun Jin's first album after more than 10 years in the business, and there was a lot of preparation and hard work for his debut. We tried to warn him about the sexual scenes and potential ramifications but he was so hard headed about the whole thing. He said that removing those scenes wouldn't convey the song's meaning properly."

Even though he looks like a cheap imitation Jet Li stunt double, the poor guy didn't deserve his video to be banned. I mean looking at the video, it seemed pretty tame, even for Korea's standards. I think the Korean Censorship Board saw Jun Jin as an embarrassment to the Hallyu movement, with his no talent and less than stellar looks, that they made an excuse to get this guy taken off the air.

Who cares sexual scenes are ment to be!

 
Nozomi's avatar

What sexual scenes? i’ve seen Disney shows with more sexual stuff than that video.

but’s better to hear the song than see the video.

oh and he looks a lot like jet li on the title picture.

the songs is nice but the video had no merit to be banned. women dancing, big deal but too bad for him.

hahahaha. i can’t believe that video got banned. they never once actually kissed. the mv was definitely awkward though. all that touching and body language looked super unnatural.

 
no avatar

I like the song actually, but
HE DIDN’T EVEN TAKE OFF HER CLOTHES.
so not rated R.

OMGGG they never kissed…those two women on him did not look turned on by him…omg some lady legs..automatic ban! The ban is soo stupid!! I really like the song too :D I wonder if they ban western music videos…they can have more sexual content…omona! :o

 
sukipyon's avatar

oo i’m 18 and i watched this…am i breaking the silly korean law?

 
cardinaltree's avatar

Wtf….................... This video wasn’t worth banning. No one would have wanted to watch it anyway! It’s really lame, but not explicit.

 
~Loco_Roco~'s avatar

How did this get banned? lol It’s not even THAT sexual.
Dammit that’s too bad. It’s a pretty good song.

 
no avatar

The MV was really awkward, but there was nothing explicit about it, it definitely had to be an excuse to take him off the air =D.  He was the most awkward part of the MV, I don’t see why anyone would be seduced by that =/.

 
janeberryblue's avatar

man koreans are weird. and he was probably being so “hard headed” for those scenes because that’s gotta be the closest he’s been to getting any with that hairstyle of his ._.

 
boshi noi's avatar

pshaw, if they wanted see some “sexual” videos just look at American MV, they’re way badass
that first guy hanging with the girl at the bar was kinda cute

 
mk23's avatar

I guess the korean music board hasn’t met R.Kelly yet.

 
HPDANM's avatar

It doesn’t look like Jun Jin at all…expected more from this >.<
and sexual scenes?!
ah…like what exactly?

 
Bluecat's avatar

Sexual….where?
it’s a little sexy but I dont think there’s anything wrong with it. Apart from Junjin’s greasy-combed back hair -___=

 
Yunha's avatar

lol!! wtf? there’s other videos out there with more sex stuff than wa’s mv,i saw nothing porn in this (following the girl ,touchy touchy things at the end but nothing that should be censured), i thought the video was okay but the song is damn catchy ,i like it ^__^

hahahahahahahahahahahaha…WTF!!!!!!! ARE U SERIOUS?..this mv was banned cause they say it was too sexual…my god…wut the hell do they call american mvs..“porn?” korea needs to stop acting like they are “inoocent” everyone knows yah like the nasty also..just admit

 
no avatar

LOL Korea needs to get out of this whole “innocent” phase. US has done a whole lot worse than that.

 
cherbear's avatar

I can’t believe that this mv got banned either, there was nothing graphic or overly sexual about the mv. I totally agree that Chae Yeon’s na-na-na mv was way more sexual than Jun Jin’s mv. When I first saw her mv my jaw dropped, she was griding on over that guy in the mv…I seen none of the in this mv. I actually liked the song and the mv very much, I think its funny how when I lived in Korea, I went out clubbing, I never remember seeing any Koreans really dancing like that while I was at the club, in fact most people especially the guys they were wallflowers…hehe totally random, I bet some silly old ajumma got mad that her daughter was sitting there admiring and Jun Jin oppa’s hotness, *lol* I see no reason for the ban :X american mv are a millions times more explict than this…

 
mywhitelilacs's avatar

omg.. that is SOOOO dumb…
there was NOTHING in that Music Video..
....the Korean media must of FREAKED OUT after seeing 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop”...
this is like….nothing… there wasn’t even a kiss…

wait…so his management blamed HIM for the banning of the mv? wow, what great representation. even if he did say that, isn’t it the management’s job to make him look good? i really like the song and the mv wasn’t horribly bad. i’m not even sure what got this banned. when i read the article, i was expecting really explicit stuff but i got a watered-down, PG-15 drama? y’know, i’m not even sure there ARE any sex scenes -.- anyways, i love this song and, even though he looks awkward sometimes, junjin is still one of my favorite members of shinhwa :]

 
trashstar's avatar

rofl cockhead. oh please they claim to be all righteous and pro-censorship but then they allow hyori to flash her boobs to everyone

 
jinheex's avatar

Wasn’t one of Chae Yeon’s mv banned? I don’t remember which one it was though. Anyhow, they probably banned it because of him. I like the song, and the video was definitely not explicit.

 
maryx3's avatar

that was hardly sexual.

but the girl was hot. haha.

 
no avatar

im more concerned about the crap-ness of the song than the visual aspect.. O.O

 
Nozomi's avatar

@ lulz tell me thats photoshopped.  he was rocking a full on chubby during a live performance.

 
LuCiF3rAnG3l's avatar

awww He looks nothing like Jet Li, at least Jet Li can kick someone’s ass if they ever banned a MV he made lol. Don’t see anything that should be ban though. LMAO I seen worst from kid’s shows.

 
no avatar

if this was in the states, it’d probably get a passing a grade to be put on even a religious channel rofl

Maiji this was a banned video. Just another video but the song I guess is catchy.

 
jasr357's avatar

yeah, the video was pretty boring. i bet not much people will be watching it so the ban will be useless. perhaps it will create a fuss and many people will be curious and will try to watch it.

 
changminwhore's avatar

Compared to any American video…this is insanely tame.

 
stevewonder06's avatar

^true that
hahaha

omg what the f? there was barely anything going on in that video lol.
I liked the song though, quite catchy indeed.

It’s so funny that Jin’s WA MV is banned on TV. I mean like, What? It’s just an HOT MV that’s all. Chae Yeon’s MVs are rather over the top. That should be banned. Not this.

The song’s great, I LOVE IT! I love the MV too.

kpop_rubba's avatar

oh man this wasnt bad at all
i mean yeah the girls looked like cheap hookers and the song was kinda boring and eventhough he’s a fawking HOTTIE his hair is kinda fuglay
i think that korean network thought it was more offensive for quality reasons than any raunchiness
cuz yeah im sure way skankier things have been played on korean television

 
kpop_rubba's avatar

ps hasn’t his company ever heard of re-editing? seriously just cut some of the kissiness out and maybe the korean networks will pull their panties out of the bunch theyre in

loraborax3's avatar

haha whats up with his hair.

 
photogeneric's avatar

Huh?
exactly…
what sexual content?
d0=

that part where they were in the room with all the mirrors… it looked like the same footage played over and over again.
and whaddahey? she walked away… and then she decided to wait for him at the door or something?
I think it’s okay that it was banned, though.
I don’t feel like anyone’s missing out on anything.

& yeah… he only looks good… from an angle… at a distance. d0=
He’s better looking some other stars, though. s0=
