In 1999, SES was banned from 3/4 major broadcasting channels when they dyed their blond.

Imagine how they'd react nowadays if they had the same standards

Same goes for Suju getting cursed at because they had more than 5 members
Or Hangeng being a foreigner

Suju received hate so other kpop groups could walk.

Mark too RIP
Literally every NCT member (but some are the lucky few who don't dye as often)

I'm pretty sure F.cuz' music video was banned cause the members had colorful hair in school setting (and skipped lesson).

Yep, their Dreaming I released in 2012 (which was inspirational mv aimed at teenagers to figure out what they want to do with their life) was banned for being rebellious and influencing teens. There is some irony in that..

Yup, it had this great msg for teens about future, and then KBS was just: No dreaming allowed!

What even Why does so much sht just sound stupid and yet is often still enforced somewhere...

 

[eclipsoul]

this is almost as ridiculous as that one time when kbs banned catallena by orange caramel for showing human life at a low value or something like that

 

[Tickita]

Really? They'd go crazy if they still had those standards

[lexus]

Wait what? That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard

 

[PWSwan]

It just makes me want to do this KBS-forbidden activity.

 

[VillageIdiot]

Do they still ban tattoos?

 

[Ahsoka]

Do they still ban tattoos?

Some stations do but I think it's loosening up a bit.

 

[yeji]

kbs always was strict and doubt they are loosing up much sadly

 

[Administrator2]

Korean censorship is really dumb.
