KBS Bans Ga In’s “Fxxk U” and Tae Jin Ah Version of Rain’s “La Song”
Broadcast network KBS ruled on February 19 Ga In’s “Fxxk U” and Tae Jin Ah‘s version of Rain‘s “La Song” unfit for broadcast.
Ga In’s “Fxxk U” track was banned due to the use of the curse “fxxk u” in the lyrics. “La Song” was banned due to the use of specific brand names in the lyrics such as “Maserati” and “Ferrari.”
“Fxxk U” was released as part of Ga In’s latest album, “Truth or Dare,” on February 6. This specific “La Song” was released in trot singer Tae Jin Ah’s album “2014 Tae Jin Ah Dear I Like You!” as a remake of singer Rain’s “La Song” released in the album “Rain Effect.”
Along with these two tracks, KBS also banned Yery Band‘s “Wonderland,” Swing’s “I Will Survive 2,” N-ZIN’s “Crazy Woman,” Sasquatch‘s “Paradox,” and Liquid‘s “Garosugil.”
“Wonderland” was banned for lyrics that “irritate the mentality of disabled people,” “I Will Survive” for the use of Japanese expressions, “Crazy Woman” for the use of slang, and “Garosugil” for the use of specific brand names.

Any real surprises? Obviously, use of brand names is seen as being endorsement or advertising, so I can sort of understand that, though it's certainly not unknown for musical acts to use them anyway these days without any real trouble, at least in the rest of the world. That said, it's far from the first time this has happened, so they just really should have known better.
As for Ga In's 'Fxxk U', well, they clearly knew this was never going to be allowed, so I can only put that down to blatant controversy-marketing ploy.
Japanese expressions, though? Okay, I know the two countries have a sore history to say the least, but really?
LMAO! Banning a music for the use of brand names.... Are you serious? There are millions of song that uses some kind of brand names...
