[News] KBS bans Psy’s “Gentleman”

Among the three terrestrial television broadcasting networks, KBS has deemed the music video of Psy’s “Gentleman” unfit for showing on public television. A staffer from KBS told to TV Report, “As a result of deliberations in the third week of April, the music video of ‘Gentleman’ has been banned from broadcasting because it contains a scene in which public facilities are damaged.” In the scene in question, Psy kicks a traffic cone. KBS says, “If Psy edits the scene and resubmits the video, we can reconsider.”

Unlike KBS, SBS approved the video for ages 12 and above. MBC, which has not passed judgment yet, reports, “Psy has not submitted a final edited version to us yet.”

The “Gentleman” video was released at 9:00 p.m. on April 13 and recorded 100,000,000 views on YouTube within 80 hours.
