Rainbow’s ab dance banned from public broadcast

[velvetsunglass.livejournal.com]

The “ab dance” from girl group Rainbow has received a warning from broadcast companies for its sexually suggestive nature.

With the promotion of their new title track, “A”, Rainbow has showed off a new “ab dance” along with their performance in which the members slowly lift up their shirts to expose their stomach. Their choreography recently received a warning for its sexual nature from broadcast companies.

Rainbow’s agency spoke with Star News on the 8th and revealed, “We are no longer allowed to show this choreography on broadcasts. We will be making the appropriate changes.”

The banning of Rainbow’s choreography shows the recent stricter standards that are being placed by broadcast companies. Frequent checks and criticisms are being made about girl group outfits and any sexually suggestive material.

Representatives of SBS Inkigayo have been contacting agencies of girl groups and requesting that they limit excessive exposure.

Netizens left comments such as “Why is it okay for boys to rip shirts off? Don’t let male idols wear wife beaters as well then,” “They’ve been broadcast this whole time, why all of a sudden?” and “But that’s the reason I’ve been watching music programs lately...”

guys,

is anybody's family not being very supportive of you liking k-pop. my family isn't and they blowing way out of proportion. i had yoona up as my default pic on facebook so the other sones can find me..i ALSO have pics of myself of course..they said i'm going through an identity crisis and i love k-pop more than GOD, and all this other garbage..my whole family basically said they don't wanna hear me talk about k-pop in the house? is that outrageous or is it just me?

:/

For once I'm actually in complete agreement with netizens haha
Oh SK and your double standards. If they're so worried, they should
just raise their ratings and let whoever wants to rip their shirts off.

[howla.livejournal.com]

they don't really even lift up their shirts up that much :/ Like I mean, remember when Krystal was showing off her bra during the NU ABO dance?

[thaidye.livejournal.com]

Yes. And yuck.

[ta-knee-shuh.livejournal.com]

I was thinking this too. I also thought of Jaejoong, Jaebum, Taeyang and all the other guys that flash their abs and get away with it. Music programs are so freaking sexist that it's not even funny. Not that I don't enjoy seeing good looking men showing off their bodies but if the girls can't do it neither should they.

[epona.livejournal.com]

that's seriously why I watch the performances, negl.

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

Same 8D

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I think the move is unnecessary but to ban it? f(x) did the same move and nothing happen then. Not to mention SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE NATURE, well idk what kpop everyone else is listening/watching...

This better not mean all the girls will cover up. Boys better stay exposed too. : |

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

well if the artists are underage then , yeah i get why they do that ...

but male singers take off their shirts and grind the air and no one says anything...

[srybutno.livejournal.com]

none of them are underage, actually.

[nimco.livejournal.com]

Good. The whole equal rights and freedom of expression was stupid to start off with.
