Eddy Kim’s “Paldangdam” Deemed Unfit for Broadcast

Artist Eddy Kim‘s latest single “Paldangdam” featuring Beenzino has been deemed unfit for broadcast.

MBC revealed on February 27 that the ban was issue due to the double entendre of the word “dam” in the song.

“The word ‘dam’ comes up often in Eddy Kim’s song ‘Paldangdam.’ In the actual lyrical context, ['dam'] is used as the curse word ‘damn,’ and that’s why we deemed the song unfit for broadcast,” they said.

Although Eddy Kim does not have plans to appear on music shows, his team is reportedly in serious deliberations over whether [to change the song] in order to ensure smooth promotions.

Released on February 26, “Paldangdam” is a song written, composed, and produced by Eddy Kim. It is the first of many collaborations that Eddy Kim has planned for his production project.


1. [+937, -19] Guess this proves Mystic has no relationship with MBC

2. [+581, -11] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is ridiculous

3. [+407, -8] The reasons get funnier and funnier ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+494, -48] No one would ever think of 'dam' as the English word 'damn' ㅡㅡ

5. [+59, -0] Even if he did intend it to be used as 'damn', it's not even a swear, more like saying 'darn it!'

6. [+60, -2] MBC is always strict when it comes to the most useless stuff ㅋㅋ

7. [+52, -2] So music videos of female idols dancing in sexual moves wearing skirts as small as the palm of your hand are okay but 'dam' is not... okay... speechless

8. [+36, -1] What a useless reason ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it actually sounds like a witty lyric too ㅋㅋㅋ I've liked Eddy Kim since his 'Superstar K' days

mte. gdragon's out here pronouncing naega like the n word in bae bae & nobody does a thing

[shoshow.livejournal.com]

Spill this tea. Its ridiculous how people pretend that these artists don't know what they are doing like really now...

[ariellm13.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? Gd doesn't even say Naega in Baebae. He does, however, say naegae to rhyme with baebae. Like, and the n word wouldn't even sound right in the context of his verse so???

I thought he was saying 네게 (nege) though?

[simprov.livejournal.com]

yeah he is it was my mistake, but that doesnt change the fact that a LOT of ppl talked abt how he was deliberately pronouncing the word weird and that pronunciation sounded a lot like the n word

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Idk about this one. For sure, I can tell when someone is replacing the N-word with another one, but I didn't feel it with this. I'm torn on it, but I can't stop anyone from feeling the way they feel.

Haven't seen the mv or heard the song but apparently it cost only 52,000won to film

[antrea.livejournal.com]

lmao for this video right? Bc the original mv is crazy and must've taken a lot more money. Lots of set changes, lotssss of dolls/props

[smyers92.livejournal.com]

It's a stupid reason to ban it, but I'm pretty sure he was going for padangdam to sound like damn

[simprov.livejournal.com]

lol, this was funny. I like Eddy Kim, every other year he comes out with a hit and for the rest of the time he's enjoying life.

This is the guy that even his CEO admitted (jokingly) that he is failure, right? They keep bringing up his name in Radio Star where he likes to relax (play video games) and how he is not very successful. I wonder how he felt when he watch that episode.
