[Kami the II.]

 

IZ*ONE's new track "We're in Love, Right?" has been banned by KBS.

 

'Produce 48' project group IZ*ONE released "We're in Love, Right?" as part of their debut album 'COLOR*IZ', which featured "La Vie En Rose" as the title track. However, on October 31, KBS revealed the censorship committee has deemed "We're in Love, Right?" unfit for broadcast on the network.

 

KBS stated, "The lyrics conflict with other broadcast regulations and all the lyrics are in Japanese." "We're in Love, Right?" was written by the producer of Japanese girl group AKB48, Akimoto Yasushi, and it was revealed through IZ*ONE's debut showcase on the 29th.

Xenophobia says hello konichiwa...

[anxiety]

Japan should just ban K-pop for a while then these idols and broadcasting stations will stop acting the fool when the money stops trickling in

[Yeddong]

It's KBS, what do we expect? They ban everything, and YG is their favorite victim. 

[Dead Inside]

lol wtf kbs

[DEEmoniac]

I dont get about these K and J problems . For music industry specially 

Japan never sh*tting on kpop songs , lyrics , etc.

Meanwhile in korea..

[seulmate]

yixing wanted to promote on music shows but only 'the show' let him to perform because his song is chinese. so i'm not surprised

[protoplasm]

Imagine if kpop groups could no longer promote in their beloved Plan B, Japan

 

I hope they get to perform the song somewhere else

[Cornflakes]

As expected from Korean Bull Shit

[Lugoose]

It's not like they were gonna perform it but thanks for being hags anyway, KBS

[Sdm]

it's the same in Japan. kpop groups are required to promote jpn versions of their songs

[pinkpanda_spirit]

[Seo sunghyuk]

I would love Japan to do the same with korean songs... But at the same time so many small groups are surviving thanks to Japan and would be the first affected...

[GirlBye]

it's the same in Japan. kpop groups are required to promote jpn versions of their songs

[金彩媛]

I love "you're in love right?" but IZ*ONEs version is kinda meh so I'm ok with this even if it's not for the same reasons lmao

[Bitch I’m a cow]

[CunningStunt]

As stupid as it gets.

[My Everything]

twice wasnt the first but it's really rare apparently

(that's why it was such a big deal, cmiiw.)

 

,,,

 

we've already heard the

on pd48, and mnet owns mcountdown so we'll be able to hear it there...also on show champion since exile performed too. cmiiw.

[Huanghe]

I honestly don’t know why they pull these shit when so many Kpop groups sing in KOREAN when they are promoting in other countries. So many Kpop groups go to Japan for the extra won and not know more than a few phases of Japanese yet they are free to perform in music shows and promote in Japan but music shows in Korea won’t allow Japanese lyrics and even have a petition to stop Japanese members from performing at music shows?

Imagine if this happened in Japan or even in the West.

[Meeks]

But using Spanish, French, and of course English in song lyrics is perfectly a-okay huh?
