Brown Eyed Girls’ Narsha’s music video of her solo debut track BBI RI BOP A has been hit with religious controversy. These accusations stem from the provocative and sacrilegious uses of the laurels and the shawl being drenched in blood, etc.

Narsha’s company defended these accusations by stating:

“The religious controversy that arose from the music video is due to over-excessive interpretations”

“We weren’t abusing or belittling religious subject matter. Instead, it was a production implying the symbolism in the lyrics and overall story”

Director Hwang Soo Ah, who produced the music video, also expressed:

“The laurel that Narsha was wearing on her head was used to bring out her feelings of penance. The blood-drenched shawl was to imply the meaning of her painful past”

I can see why these religious allegations arose, but at the same time, the music video nicely incorporated these religious materials to bring out the symbolism of the story. Check out the BBI RI BOP A music video again below and share your thoughts on the issue.

HAHAHAHA... I knew it would.

But it is a pretty cool mv. I love the scenes with her with the red hair laying on the rock by the ocean.

If they can shit bricks with Hyori not wearin' a seat belt, then it ain't no surprised these bitches will damn near die when they see something that has to do with any religion in an MV.

The video is so well-made, it's a shame the song isn't as great.
It would be so much better without the Bbi Ri Bop A shit.
But I guess they wanted to have some annoying repetition in there somewhere.
