Earlier, we reported that GD&TOP’s “Don’t Go Home” track was banned from MBC for being ‘unfit for public broadcast.’
YG Entertainment officials re-submitted the song for another evaluation, arguing that it had KBS and SBS’s regulations. Unfortunately, MBC stick with their decision, and banned the song again on January 12th.
The reason given by MBC was that the lyrics, especially T.O.P’s rap, was too sexually suggestive for broadcast.
T.O.P’s lyrics state:
“I don’t like awkward settings
Why is the sound of the clock ticking so loud?
All I can hear is the sound of swallowing spit
Look baby, all I want is to greet the morning with you
A secret party for just us two before the night comes to an end
But you’re like Cinderella, you try to go home when the clock hits 12
Being alone makes the night so long
Call in to your parents, don’t try to act tough
S.O.S, advancing seems so far
Oh! wait a minute, why am I like this?
Am I drunk, I’m so dizzy, I’m falling asleep.”
Regarding the ban, G-Dragon stated in an interview, “As opposed to feeling a loss of strength, we’re just disappointed that such unfortunate results were met despite our best efforts. We’re upset in not being able to show a better stage because of the broadcast regulations. It’s unfortunate that they won’t accept it.”
