2ne1 and Bigbang Banned?

2ne1 is harmful to kids! At least that's what the Ministry of Public Administration and Security seem to think. Just last November the MPAS ruled that "Can't Nobody (English) and "I'm Busy" were harmful to children because of their use of profanity. This was just the first in a series of bad light given to YG groups basedon lyrical content.

Now, according to reports from allkpop.com, TOP and GD's new video "Knock Out" has been blocked from KBS, MBC, and SBS. The stations the video was banned was because the title and lyrics used slang, which they believed would damage the national psyche. Another ban quickly followed, this time by MBC for their song "Don't Go Home".

 The station has not revealed why the song was deemed inappropriate, but a representatives for YG revealed to Star News  "We expected ‘Knock Out’ to be banned from the three networks, so we will be re-submitting the songs, but MBC banning ‘Don’t Go Home’ has come as a bit of a surprise to us." "We’ve retorted that there is nothing wrong with the song, as it was even accepted by KBS and SBS. As much as it is hard to understand why MBC would find it unfit for broadcast, we believe that MBC has their own reasons, so we will respectfully re-submit it for an evaluation."

Let's just hope that hope that YG family isn't banned again, ya?
