There are regulations on Kpop by various institutions including broadcasting
companies and governmental organizations. Some Korean songs have been judged as being harmful to
juveniles and banned from public TV networks even though the public still wonder
if the regulations are proper or not. Let's look over what kind of songs faced
sanctions and what was the problem.
Psy's 'Right Now' had been judged as a harmful song to juveniles. The lyrics of 'Right Now' was reason for that. 'Right Now' is the song about a man who has a strong will to enjoy life like mad. The lyrics like "The life is like strong liquor" and other lyrics describing will to enjoy life have faced sactions by Korean Ministry of Gender Equalty and Family. Do you think it was too much?
Well, the Ministry withdrew sanctions to the song later, and sanctions to the other 300 songs which had been banned from broadcasting were withdrawn too. The mega hit of Psy's 'Gangnam Style' has become a crucial trigger! People insisted that the sanctions to 'Right Now' have to be withdrawn to make the song a worldwide hit, and the Ministry had to step back.
Hyuna's 'Very Hot' is another song which has been banned from broadcasting. The song was condemned as unqualified song for broadcasting. Korean broadcasting companies, MBC and KBS, announced that the song was disqualified. The official from the broadcasting company said "The song was disqualified because it gives prominence to specific SNS. Not only SNS, but also other brands can't be included in the lyrics. It can make effectiveness of advertising."
It's not easy to meet the broadcasting companies' standards, huh? The lyrics of 'Very Hot' include the word 'Ka-talk' which is short for 'Kakao Talk', the application for smartphone.
Here's a special case. Let's look over G-Dragon's case. He set his song 'That XX' as adults only voluntarily. Unlike most singers who want their songs to be released to everybody including minors, G-Dragon didn't struggle for it. He has a firm faith with his song, and declared that 'That XX' will be adults only even before the deliberation by Korean Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. It is because of the word 'XX'. It is pronounced as 'Saekki' in the song which can be translated into 'bugger'. By using the word, G-Dragon expressed a man's feeling towards another man who is loved by a woman he loves.
Instead, he set the music video of 'That XX' as U certificate. On the music video, the problematic lyrics is substituted with 'Beep' sound. When G-Dragon shows live performance of the song on the stage, he sings the lyric as 'X'.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Gender Equalty and Family has been planning for a
lawmaking about prohibiting girl group's excessive revealing performance. The
official from the Ministry stated, "You can not describe minor girl group members as sex object. The
actions like zooming in minor members' thighs and hips would be illegal."
However, there still is public opinion that it can violate freedom of expression to tighten regulations on Kpop. So, what do you think of it? Do you think the authority has to ease the restrictions?
As you know, Kpop girl group members look so innocent and cute. We usually describe them as 'fairy'. Then, how about their feet? It seems that they have tiny lovely feet. Well, what do you think? Let's see the shoe sizes of Kpop female idols. Sooyoung has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation's members. Girls' Generation: Soo Young(Big foot) / Sunny, Jessica, Hyo Yeon(Small foot) Soo Young has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation(SNSD) members. It is 245mm. Is there anybody who are diapponted because Soo Young has too big feet? Actually, she is the tallest member too. She is 170cm tall. Let's make a comparison between Soo Young and Tae Yeon. Tae Yeon's shoe size is 240mm and she is 162cm tall. Yoona, Seo Hyun and Yuri's shoe sizes are also 240mm. Three other members have the smallest feet among SNSD's members. Sunny, Jessica and Hyo Yeon's shoe sizes are all the same as 225mm to 230mm. Does it fit your expectation?...
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j...
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's...

When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
