After official review by KBS, the song "What's Going On?" from Triple H's debut album '199x' has been deemed unfit for broadcast.

A portion of the song's lyrics that read, "Last night we did enough. It's because we became one," was deemed problematic. Other songs from their album, including the title "365Fresh", passed the guidelines.

Triple H, consisting of HyunA as well as Pentagon's E'Dawn and Hui, debuted this past May 1.

Man, is there a real reason why they banned the song? This is truly why I loathe South Korea's strict censorship as always AND I also truly feel that the entire country is being too strict and conservative right now. I hope that South Korea can very soon be a whole lot less conservative and a whole lot more open minded. And i'm also calling on KBS to start censoring songs and music videos for all of the right reasons, not because they really want to. And oh yeah, if there is something that they personally feel that is very problematic, well, they should just take a note from American cable channel MTV and start censoring that problematic stuff out. Yeah, that would be a great idea.

KBS-TV is owned by the S.KOREAN GOVERNMENT. By LAW, they are *required* to be *more conservative* than say MNET Channel (Cable TV). And the BANNING by KBS-TV has NO REAL IMPACT on the MV popularity either. VIEWERS just see the 'offending' MV on OTHER TV Channels *not* owned by the S.KOREAN GOVERNMENT.

Don't give me that. I am really just fed up with the strict censorship in South Korea as of right now. And I shall wait patiently for that day where the strict censorship will be gone for good and television stations across South Korea such as KBS of course start to censor shows, songs and music videos IF they include actual problematic content.

https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Korean_Broadcasting_System ... <-- Okay ; again, *other* K-TV channels that carry K-pop Music programming are *less* restrictive than S.K GOVERNMENT owned KBS-TV. And you surely have the choice of perceiving the situation with KBS-TV as you choose.

https://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Korean_Broadcasting_System ... <-- KBS-TV (S.KOREA) is owned and operated by the S.KOREA NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. And the S.K GOVERNMENT also appoints those on BOARD OF DIRECTORS of it. So, KBS-TV does BY LAW have to maintain *more conservative* standards, than say MNET TV Cable Channel. So, any 'cencorship' from KBS-TV, is *not* a surprise ; and actually NOT a problem. What KBS-TV does (censorship wise) has about ZERO IMPACT on the success or failure of *any* K-pop Music song (MV). If anything, these KBS-TV 'bans' actually HELP the popularity of an MV. In that, people wonder WHAT is the 'objectionable' conent ; I *need* to view this MV ...
