Welcome to ‘The Mixtape‘, a special bi-weekly feature that brings you the best K-Pop playlists! We’ll be sharing songs that we think you guys should really check out, and possibly introduce you to some great tracks that you might not have heard before – all of which surrounds a special theme.
As K-Pop continues to grow and expand, we’re finding our favorite artists experimenting with more mature themes and content in their music. Unfortunately, those who go a little too far with their creativity get branded with the infamous ban from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MOGEF), which restricts younger audiences from purchasing and being exposed to these ‘harmful’ songs.
While we can understand why certain songs get restricted from younger audiences, there are definitely more moments where we just shake our heads and think that the MOGEF’s reasons are outright ridiculous. For the first time, we’re finding more and more songs getting censored and subsequently re-released with alternative lyrics, just so that the song will pass regulations for public broadcast and promotions.
So, here’s a playlist of our favorite “forbidden” K-Pop songs. Some, but not all, of these tracks have not had their ban lifted, so if you’re sensitive to issues regarding sex, alcohol, drug use, or unconventional dating, this playlist may not be for you.
But who are we kidding? You guys are probably more interested now, so check out our mixtape below!
✪ B2ST –On Rainy Days ✪
Just like with 2PM, the MOGEF banned B2ST’s “On Rainy Days” because of references to alcohol. “I should stop drinking, I think I’m drunk” was the controversial line, which the MOGEF argued created an image that encouraged underage teens to drink as well.
You’d think that with the line literally stating, “I should stop drinking“, it would communicate that drinking isn’t doing anyone any favors.
It’s being reported that Jo Kwon, Sulli, and Kikwang from SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo‘ will be stepping down from their MC positions. After discussing the matter with their respective agencies, they decided to withdraw because of their busy schedules.
‘Inkigayo’ PD, Kwak Seung Young, stated, “Because we have yet to decide who will take over as MC’s, we are currently holding discussions with the three singers’ agencies about the timeline for their resignation. This system will probably be maintained until the beginning of November, but replacement MC’s will be found soon.”
Jo Kwon and Sulli became ‘Inkigayo’ MC’s in July of last year alongside CNBLUE‘s Yonghwa. After Yonghwa stepped down in February, IU and Kikwang joined the remaining duo.
Kim Hyun Joong obtained 1st place by a huge margin, receiving47% of the total votes. Following behind were Jo Kwon with 16%, Seungriwith 14%, Gikwang with 9%, Woohyun with 8%, and Taecyeon with 5% of the votes.
Netizens who selected Kim Hyun Joong commented, “If he had the skills to make 100,000,000 Won (~$90,000 USD) by just simply working part time before he actually debuted, he will probably be able to bring in a lot of profit for his company,” and “He has strong leadership and a good sense of responsibility so he will probably be able to lead the company well.”
Industry insiders revealed on October 21st that Doojoon was a likely candidate for the leading male role in the upcoming drama, Full House 2.
Cube Entertainment stated, “We’re currently looking over the offer. Because of B2ST’s overseas activities and the need to balance his schedule, we haven’t confirmed his casting quite yet. We are interested in the role, however.”
According to representatives, Doojoon is the biggest candidate to star alongside actress Min Hyo Rin. Both are showing high interest in their respective roles, and their agencies are steering discussions in a positive direction.
Doojoon already has acting experience with supporting roles in two MBC dramas, so representatives are looking forward to how he’ll handle a leading role so fast.
‘Full House 2′ will be broadcast through Japan’s TBS next March before making its way over to Korea.
Kikwang in his new MBC drama "I’m A Flower Too". This is what keeps him busy nowadays. His character is a police officer named, Jo Maru.
