Dalshabet’s “Joker” Was Banned From Korean Media... But Not For The Reason You Thought

 

Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) initially banned Dalshabet‘s new title track “Joker” for several reasons mentioned in our previous article on their edited lyrics (which are now deemed appropriate for broadcast).

What may puzzle international fans however, is the fact that the repetition of the word“Joker” seemed inappropriate. Some fans came up with the explanation that the reason may be because the repetition of the phrase “joker” sounds like they’re saying “choke her”. However, the real reason is even more outrageous.

 

 

In Korean, “Joker” is written as “조커” and pronounced “Joh-kuh” this phrase sounds extremely similar to a cuss word in Korean, especially when emphasis is placed in the word “Joh” as the girls do in their song.

The word “좆” (pronounced “jot”) which already seems similar to the word “조”(pronounced “joh”) is a crude vocabulary that refers to…well…let’s just say it refers to a very specific private part only present in males.

And the word “커” pronounced “kuh” means BIG. Now put those together and…..

 

 

You’ve got it  [:D]

The repeated phrase “Joker” is then followed by “Joker, I want it, I am out of breath, baby good night”

Add the s-xy choreography…

 

 

The word “Joker” may not seem so innocent anymore…

Can you hear it??

KBS's censorship department strikes back as 3 songs from BTS's new mini album are deemed "unfit for broadcasting"

After three tracks from BTS’ upcoming mini album were deemed unfit for broadcast by KBS, the group’s agency has revealed that they are not planning to makes changes to the songs for the time being.

On April 22, a representative of Big Hit Entertainment told Star News, “There are no plans to modify the songs or appeal for a new decision as of now.”

Earlier on this day, KBS’ censorship department determined that BTS’ “Converse High”, “BTS DISS”, and “Lovers High” were inappropriate for broadcast due to the lyrics and content of the songs.

The network has indicated that “Converse High” specifically mentions a number of brand names in its lyrics: “Converse high, Chanel, F your Alexander McQueen.” “Lovers High” was considered unfit for broadcast for the same association of its lyrics with the brand Converse as well.

“BTS DISS” also includes the use of a brand name in the lyrics, as well as a Chinese phrase meaning “Did you eat?” KBS has concluded that the phrase was being used in place of a swear.

Furthermore, MBC has deemed “Lovers High” unfit for broadcast as well, while SBS has yet to release the results of their review of the songs.

Meanwhile, BTS will be releasing their new mini album this coming April 29.
