YG releases apology for G-dragon’s antics

[pottertastic.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment has released their official statement on the case of G-Dragon’s controversial solo concert.

“We came in contact with an article that said the Korean Family Health Department requested that G-Dragon’s solo concert be examined in further detail for violating the child protection law and sexual promiscuity performance,” said YGE.

“We should have considered the extreme impact popular culture can have on young adults. We are sincerely sorry for the controversy and have no intentions of putting the blame on other people or making excuses in order to refuse responsibility. YG will cooperate willingly with any investigations, and we accept all responsibility for the controversy.”

“Also, although this is a separate matter from the controversy, we would like to mention that for a lot of artists, a solo concert is a big dream as well as a big pressure for them. Usually on music programs, they perform a couple of songs, whereas in a solo concert, an artist must lead the audience for more than 2 hours by himself. We feel that artists feel pressured to show extreme performances in some cases due to the huge amount of expectation put on them.”

“In the concert DVD, all controversial scenes that were deemed inappropriate will be excluded or edited. We apologize once again for the trouble caused, and will take extreme caution to avoid causing any sort of controversy similar to this in the future. Thank you.”


Hmm, pretty heartfelt stuff no? Of course, the question is raised, who reviewed the choreography for the concert? Were no bells going off when there was a girl tied to a bed getting humped?

Either way, YG has officially apologized for the actions of the Big Bang leader, regardless of whether or not he did anything wrong. I'm sure fangirls are less upset over the dry humping than they are over the fact that the concert DVD will be edited to remove sexual fap material "inappropriate" scenes.

ummmm.

Classy article thar.

I think it's drastic to cut such scenes. Slap labels or whatevs but otherwise it's uncool censorship.

Le sigh.

I hope this doesn't affect GD's future activities too much.

otherwise it's uncool censorship
We ARE talking about Korea xDDD

[cynicalsnark.livejournal.com]

I guess it's expected that YG have to do damage control, even though it's the parents' own damn responsibility to monitor whatever "inappropriate" scenes their kids see.

Also I saw the fancam and did not see this apparent "humping" that AKP keeps saying is there.

[enrout-e.livejournal.com]

MTE!! i can't even see what humping akp was talking about ._.

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

I can't stop shaking my head.

[spread.livejournal.com]

Sorry.
I'm pissed, I was looking forward to sexytime.

[failingxsmiles.livejournal.com]

Damn right, Riley.

[bubbliciouz.livejournal.com]

i wish ppl would just drop it already and move on.

i was looking forward to seeing the full performance on dvd though lol :(

[cityincolors.livejournal.com]

iono about this but I'm sorta busy sighing at allkpop stirring stuff up with the "Was GD excluded from GDA?" stuff -_-

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

i know ... akp's making everything seem controversial. it's so lulz

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

when will the time come when artistes/managements in KPop would not have to apologize for every single thing they do?

/uses opportunity to post YG family gif...

[finalfantasyo13.livejournal.com]

A+ comment.

[xdaisyxlovesxbb.livejournal.com]

i think its the best for everyone. if yg didnt edit out the concert, they will have more trouble and its not going to end. vips are going to be sad but its not like its going to be his last concert.

gd is probably upset but i hope it doesnt affect him a lot. this does suck :(

[suicidal-driver.livejournal.com]

But couldn't they rate the DVD so that younger people couldn't buy it?
It sucks that we hear all the hype then can't see it now.

[finalfantasyo13.livejournal.com]

damn..so if you didn't go and see the scenes first hand or go to youtube(which clips will probably be banned soon) you won't be able to see the scenes?

in other news, i hope gd is ok after all of this.

[kpop-arsenal.livejournal.com]

-sigh-

i feel bad for Ji.

[blooberrie.livejournal.com]

akp, you never fail, do you.

this is a giant mess. and can we please move on.

[xbigbangx.livejournal.com]

aaaww. and I was so looking forward to buyin the concert dvd w/ all the 'inappropriate' scenes and everything.
no fun no fun.

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

This whole thing is stupid.

[spread.livejournal.com]

OT But Icon.
XDDDD<3

[kurumi-elric.livejournal.com]

well this sucks I was looking forward to Shes Gone and Breathe performance the most.

I think its dumb that YG has to apologize because the parents knew the cd was 19 and up but still they took their children to the concert. GD and YG shouldn't be responsible for it, children should not be going to it. I mean listening to the cd you knew the concert wasn't going to be kid friendly.

sorry in advance but what I typed probably doesn't make any sense, since I'm typing in the moment lol

[spidersky.livejournal.com]

YG could have avoided all of this by having a 13+ concert, but whatever. It's still stupid.

The people complaining about this the loudest probably never even went to the damn concert (like those idiots who try to get books banned without even reading them).

“In the concert DVD, all controversial scenes that were deemed inappropriate will be excluded or edited."

My day is so fucking ruined right now.



The fact that YG even apologized is somewhat hilarious. What, you can't even defend the content you put out?

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

its kpop bb ... apologizing is a trend. no wait. make that habit.

[suicidal-driver.livejournal.com]

I WANT INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL ON A DVD!

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH!!!

[huile7.livejournal.com]

parents should be more responsible and watch their children. the world cannot be censored by the mere fact that parents are not doing their jobs. Koreans do like to blow things out of proportion. seriously they need to catch up with the rest of the world.

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little birdy will leak it? It's not like they burned the footage, it's probably still hanging around somewhere up at YG HQ. GD probably will at least have a full copy of the concert uncut...
