SM Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the unfair judgment which deemed S.M The Ballad’s album as ‘inappropriate for youths’.
According to the Seoul Administrative Court, SM Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family, stating, ”We cannot accept the judgment which was made with imprecise standards.”
The Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family deemed S.M The Ballad’s track, “Another Day“, as inappropriate for anyone under legal age due to the lyrics’ references to alcohol (“Drunk on alcohol so that I don’t miss you” and “If you fall asleep drunk, you dream“).
Yet representatives of SM Entertainment are claiming this judgment to be ridiculous. One particular representative expressed their opinion to Star News, saying “We don’t understand why they would flag it for inappropriate content based on references to alcohol. They didn’t consider the charm of the song as a whole. Judging by specific words impedes the writers’ freedom of expression.”
Last November, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, SHINee’s Jonghyun, TRAX’s Jay and Jino worked together for a project group named ‘S.M The Ballad’. However, since the album was deemed as inappropriate for youths, fans under 19 years old was unable to purchase the album.

Date: 2011-03-09 08:36 am (UTC)I would rather my kids listen to SM the Ballad than half the crap Eminem comes out. That Em and Rhianna song REALLY makes me angry because it basically says, "You treat me like shit, but I like how you treat me. :D"

Date: 2011-03-09 09:05 am (UTC)that said... wow, this is weird to me, coming from the states where this is NOTHING compared to some of the gross/hateful/violent shit that people put in song lyrics. as much as it's nice that korea has values to uphold, on some level these family ministries need to calm their shit down.

Date: 2011-03-09 02:14 pm (UTC)I do appreciate how lyrics in Korean songs are so much...nicer than the songs here in North America.
But they do need to lighten up a bit
