2PM's Chansung is questioning KBS' ban on his self-composed song "Make Love".

On September 21, KBS announced that Chansung's song has been deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to its lyrics about a woman and man making love. Later on the same day, Chansung guested on 'Kim Shin Young's Hope Song at Noon' and responded to the ban.

Chansung commented, "It's a really good song. I'm not sure what the problem is."

I hate to say it, but K-pop has a long way to go before it can do things like this. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fairly PG song in my opinion, but he's also a K-pop artist in an UBER conservative country. I don't begrudge Korea for that, they have a beautiful culture over there, but half the things that artists can say and do in several other countries (and no I don't just mean the U.S., but also European countries, South American countries, etc.) would never get past the censors in Korea. K-pop groups are slowly but surely pushing the envelope and breaking ground on what can and can't be deemed appropriate on television, but it doesn't shock me at all that they would never give the green light to a song like this. Too bad, but hopefully people will still buy the song and stream it online.

a thing were over looking as foreign fans is that alot of kpop fans are teen girls (boys) that go through stress cuz of school and listen to tons of music to escape with that in mind (music influences our attitudes good and bad even more so if its alot of time listening) so a lot of mainstream/famous/easy to see needs to be pg.....

It's not about kids listening to it, there are plenty of young adults that listen to K-pop as well. It has everything to do with the conservative mindset and control in Korea- why do you think that although girls will wear the shortest shorts on these programs, whenever they sit down they're always given a pillow or a blanket to cover up? It's just how things are over there, it's a super conservative country, so it's not just about young kids listening to K-pop, it's literally ingrained in their culture.

kids are easily influenced same with teens if seeing something constantly(teens go to their music for escape) so its really easy to be influenced the girls need to cover because when you sit in a dress the dress rises to the point where you can see their underwear . is it wrong to want 1 tv channel that is for family? if you feel uncomfortable watching or listening to something with another person then its not for family if adults want to watch other stuff there sbs mnet mbc etc kbs is a family channel so the basic no sex no drugs no revealing or strong dances or dresses imagine if all tv stations only played nicki manaj videos, it would be horrible same here if all stations allowed sex etc on tv what would young ppl be able to watch without changing the channel every 5 min?

he is horny man! he thinks zayn can have a sex song like Pillow Talk so he could do the same. wake up dude, you're a kpop star in conservative country Korea

a family station so the basic no sex, no overly sexy concepts, no cursing, the basic for family entertainment ages 1-100 to say they need to stop censoring is basically saying you dont mind if they play nicki minaj on disney or that they should only make adult movies or allow porn on public tv NOT EVERYONE IS AN ADULT not everyone should have access to this if u want to regulate sex and make it a normal thing for kid and teens allow minors to have sex if your gonna just "wave it in their face"

kimhyunjoong334 • Wednesday, September 21, 2016

why even say u have to be a certain age to have sex or watch porn or sext?

KBS do know where babies come from, right?

Maybe those who handle the censorship are in denial that love and sex happens in South Korea...

vegso kimmiefonze • Wednesday, September 21, 2016

and they want to have a similar issue like Japan

He's so cute.

thestarsinthesky • Wednesday, September 21, 2016

haha, of course. They can't handle the love.

The problem is that the censors are sexual neanderthals who still think we live in the 1800s. Maybe one day that "culture" will grow up in this area, but I'm not holding my breath.

BigBlueagain • Wednesday, September 21, 2016

Evidently @kimhunjoong334 is one of those neanderthals who thinks that everyone but them should be shut up and censored.
