BTS member J-Hope’s digital single 'Killin' It Girl' has officially passed KBS’s music review after initially being deemed unsuitable for broadcast.

According to KBS's updated review results released on July 9, both the solo and GloRilla-featured versions of Killin' It Girl have now been deemed suitable for air. The songs were initially ruled unfit on June 11 due to lyrics that violated Article 46 of the broadcasting review code, which restricts advertising effects through the mention of specific brand names.

Following the initial verdict, the lyrics were revised ahead of J-Hope’s performance on Music Bank on June 20, where he showcased the solo version with the problematic lines removed.

KBS guidelines allow songs previously ruled unfit to be re-evaluated if the offending content is edited or removed. With this new “suitable” ruling, Killin' It Girl is now cleared for broadcast across KBS TV and radio platforms.
