K.Will’s “Hypnotism” got rejected by KBS

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

Singer K.Will (28; real name: 김형수) 2nd single, “Hypnotism” has been decided by KBS not to be broadcast on their music show (KBS Music Bank). Their main reason to reject this song is because in the songlyrics, there is a phrase, ‘dumb’ that can be a sensitive issue to referring people with disabilities. KBS then decided to give a no-go for this song to be aired on their broadcasting network.

They were going to perform “Hypnotism” with featured rapper, Outsider as K.Will’s 2nd album 2nd single candidate. Alas, they have to make another decision as to pick another song to replace. According to K.Will’s management company, they said, “We have no intention of disrespect those with disabilities. The song doesn’t express the emotion of love itself as a metaphor for being ‘dumb’.” Thus, they have made a promise to take care of this issue with careful consideration.
