SMTM fined by Korea Communication Standards Commission: to pay upto 50 000USD!!!

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

Mnet’s “Show Me the Money 4,†which has been under fire for airing controversial lyrics without censorship, is being fined by the Korea Communications Standards Commission. Apparently, this is the heaviest penalty that can be enforced.

On August 5, the Korea Communications Standards Commission unanimously decided to enforce a fine on “Show Me the Money 4″ for failing to censor swear words and questionable content on the June 23, June 26, July 3, and July 10 broadcasts. The maximum fine is 50,000,000 KRW (~$50 000 USD), but the exact amount for this case will be decided at a later meeting.

[bananaphobe]

ayo snoop help us 

[allsmiles]

hahahah!    i really dont understand why they are fining a rap show for swearing??!!!! thats absurd. like what do people expect when they tune into the show??....certainly not people singing about ponies rainbows and strawberry shortcake.

 

[if mnet feels hurt and butthurt about this...lol i cant imagine blacknut or mino winning the show anymore.(oh no my faves) cause they'd be like you two alone just made us loose $50,000. (im just joking) hahaha.

 

at least my other fave basick is still on their good side.lol.

[Thotcahontas]

wtf? Why? This is bullshit tbh isn't the show rated 19+?

 

Ofc it's gonna have in swear words wtf..then remove curse words from the korean society then..every single person who curses in korea should be fined..

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

Damn, okay.

 

 

And you should post the source of the article, OP.

I just edited it, thanks!

[Iron Girl]

they will paid and fire the person(s) who edited those parts

didn't this happen to Unpretty Rapstar as well? but the season 2 and some of the line up were announced recently.
Mnet knows where the money is. These are like their 2 top reality programs atm.

 

the country only acknowledged this fact like 5 years later lol. SMTM used to not be heavily censored. but more popular is the program more it is. I mean because of the tatoos all I see of Jay Park is blurred tbh

[loviin_lee]

oh sh*t

 

[OppawithaVengeance]

after that bs with black nut i hope the show crashes and burns

 

 

cant wait for next ep when mino destroys everyone

[Gloomy Dreams]

That money is nothing to Mnet. Honestly, they should cancel SMTM all together. I'm tired of their try hard Hep-Hap BS. 

[CareBear08]

on Americas broadcasts you still have to bleep that sh*t out, 

[campfire]

I'm not over that ja mez or whatever guy trying to make his hair look 'black' by doing a braid out. That's what you guys look like when you talk about cultural appropriation.

[Mystery Survivor]

I don't think Mnet will care as they are part of a huge conglomerate, $50,000 is small change for them. They should rate the show 19 again though and stop censoring it.

[Eppo]

Then don't watch it. I only skip to the rap parts for the most part and enjoy it. 

[Си�у Пак]

lol such a small fine.  It was just to make a point.

[Gloomy Dreams]

Then don't watch it. I only skip to the rap parts for the most part and enjoy it. 

 

I already stopped watching it. That doesn't change the fact most on the show are try hards. Enjoy~~

[coward]

Ofc it's gonna have in swear words wtf..then remove curse words from the korean society then..every single person who curses in korea should be fined..

Not this season.

 

The producers knew better but apparently wanted the media play? I can't seer any other reason for this. It's not like it's a new rule. If you don't play by the rules you are going to get hit with the penalty.

Is MNET cable or broadcast? And do the hours a show is telecast affect their need to censor? I am trying to remember if they keep the same standards there for both. I know they have adult shows on late night cable that are not held to the same standards like No More Show. $50,000 dollars sounds like nothing to some one here in the US but I don't know how much that would mean to a Korean TV show?
