Article: Gary "Sexually suggestive controversy? You have to break the box to move forward"

Source: E-news via Nate

1. [+689, -95] He's right, you indeed must break the box to move forward... but if you're going to break it in such a cheap manner, I'd rather you not break it at all.

2. [+540, -88] Exactly what box is he trying to break...? I often see people say that Korea is too conservative and that they need to open up to sex culture more but if you feel that way, go live in a western country... Every country has its own sentiment, don't label it right or wrong or this or that. Our country loves to think it's open minded on certain issues but it's mostly to look tryhard or important. Our girl groups alone are open minded enough so stop... I don't think our country is the place for Gary's music video to be seen with friends and family and be okay about it...

3. [+470, -66] The hypocrisy of people calling Gary's music video an art work while Yo Se Yoon's was called dirty. I swear, stupid fangirls defending him just because he's on Running Man.

4. [+49, -1] It's not the erotic concept that's the issue... It's that he expressed it in such a cheap manner;; like on the level of an elementary school student. It looks like it should be funny but he presents it in a serious manner which makes it awkward.

5. [+36, -4] Used to love Gary but I can't listen to his music anymore ã… ã…  such a sexual tryhard ã… ã…

Such an intelligent post, hit the nail right on the head

But...the box has been broken. Turn on a Western music industry music video. That box was broken and tossed out the moving plane years and years ago.

 

I know many still have this Puritan view of KPOP and I'm sure many fans turn to Korean music because it isn't "overtly sexualized" like Western music (news flash: it is just as sexualized as Western music, just not as in your face about it) but what Gary is saying is that this arbitrary wall (or box) that fans create to separate the Korean music industry and the industry it so likes to emulate is starting to slowly crumble a bit. Read between the lines of his words.

This is what I felt when I watched it.

What has he done wrong? I'm lost here..

 

 

Just made a trashy/tacky MV for his song which was probably destined to do well even without the controversy, then tried to paint it as artistic.  Though I suspect his career won't suffer any from it.

Yeah, this. "Sexy" doesn't always equal mature and that MV is staggeringly juvenile. Gary shouldn't kid himself that he's pushing some boundary with this :/
