Songs by Kim Hyun Joong, DBSK, Homme, Block-B, and Orange Caramel have all been ruled “unsuitable for minors” due to its explicit content, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family said on Tuesday.

Kim Hyun Joong’s “Please,” Homme’s “I Was Able to Eat Well,” and Jang Kiha and the Faces’ “Accept Me,” were deemed “harmful to the youth” because of their lyrics containing harmful substance. All three songs suggest drinking and smoking in its lyrics, according to the ministry.

The ministry rated “Before You Go” by DBSK harmful to the youth for its gambling and action scenes, saying it could possibly encourage violence and illegal gambling, as well as “copycat crimes” in the future. “Bangkok City” by Orange Caramel got the same rating for showing club scenes, while Block-B’s “Just Stop” was ruled unsuitable for encouraging “unhealthy relationships.”

Any content rated “unsuitable for minors” cannot be sold to minors under the age of 19 and also cannot be aired after 10PM in Korea. Here are the videos by DBSK, Kim Hyun Joong, and Orange Caramel. Do you agree with the ministry's decision?

Translation of Kim Hyun Joong's Short Interview with Vietnamese Media

Translated by Henecia Vietnam

Kim Hyun Joong had a friendly talk with Vietnamese reposters this morning. This short interview took place at the hotel room.


Q: How do you feel when seeing Vietnamese fans waiting for you at the airport as well as in front of the hotel last night?


I'm very surprised, happy and touched with Vietnamese fans' unbelievable love and enthusiastic supports to me. However, that's also the reason which makes me feel worry for fans' safety.

Q: People say that you hide your brillant smiles since coming to Vietnam!

Partly, because it's so late when I arrived at the airport. Besides, I'm worry for fans' safety. I hope that I will have many chances to contact with fans in the next activities in Vietnam, especially at tomorrow fan meeting. 

Q: How do you feel when your "hit song" "Please" has been banned by The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in Korea? 

That is a song intended for adult audiences. I think all of you here can enjoy it. 

Q: After conquering Asia countries, do you intend to launch your music to international market?

Now I have been carrying many activities across Asia. Of course I also want to develop to the whole world. I'm setting up a plan for next year activities.
