Good Lord Grow The heck up i mean they play lady gaga in the us!
So much worse and its in english the most used language or at least alot of people can understand!
It's how us Americans are raised.. we're used to it and usually not offended. Usually... rofl
WHY?!?!?!
Korea is so strict with this kind of stuff T-T
hehe~ I am actually listening to "Don't Go Home" right now.
Yay!!! For owning the GD&TOP album...and being under 19 XD
I can understand why they ban some stuff though...some music can get a little...graphic? I suppose you could say. They want to protect the integrity of their youth, it is understandable.
I can kinda understand where they're coming from here, i've seen some of TOP's stuff... but they are going a BIT too far lol it's just music and compare it to American stuff and this is nothing. NOTHING.
nooohhhh im dont rly care bout the rest but you cannot do that to GD&TOP!!!!! what kind of use does this have anyway, korea will never be like it was before if there will be so much foreign influence... its already too late...
Ridiculous... especially compared to the American music scene.
Doing the right thing? In your fing dreams!
wow, I don't know that korea is that kind of country, but the government just try to do their best to protect for kids and youth. just appreciate that
OMG .. !!
South Korea is not America (or Europe), fortunately! They're doing the right thing
omg , why ?
They play worse stuff on the RADIO in the US. Seriously.. this is ridiculous.. I can understand having a age restriction, but 19? That's a little obsessive.
I agree, american music is MUCH worse. I don't see why they are saying they are harmful... I think they rock.... That's that.
Oh come on, there is WAY worse American songs.
I mean I even listen to them. Heehee. Sorry.
These songs aren't all bad. I think it's sort of going overboard but ah well, there's nothing much we can do about it.
Hopefully Korea loosens up a bit.
this is really sad.... good thing I don't live in korea
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
lol srry maybe this wont be funny 4 a lot of people but is so silly that it became kinda funny i mean.... seriously?? XD this is like a bad joke.... well at least it made me laugh
stupid...
does korea not have anything else to do but sit around listening to k-pop and banning songs by good artists?....... just wondering
