Lee Jung Hyun’s Vogue Girl and Crazy in sticky situation

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

We have heard of music videos or songs being banned because of explicit lyrics or overly sexy scenes. Former techno queen, Lee Jung Hyun or now known as AVA (she picked AVA because it sounded nice and Lee Jung Hyun was hard to pronounce in America) made her comeback recently with her 8th album, Avaholic. It was announced today that her songs from the album, Vogue Girl and Crazy have found themselves in a sticky situation with the 3 major tv stations.



Vogue Girl was deemed unsuitable for broadcast because the title was the same as the name of an overseas fashion publication (there's a localized version too). MBC had ruled that it was a case of sublimal/subtle advertising, prohibiting it from being broadcast. Kind of ridiculous but AVA Entertainment has moved swiftly to rename the song as Vogue It Girl instead to end the whole issue. Initial copies of the album with Vogue Girl will still be available for sale but future reprints will see the song being titled as Vogue It Girl instead. AVA Entertainment also expressed that Vogue Girl references in the song lyric will be amended, re-recorded before being included in the new album version.



AVA's title song, Crazy has also find itself in a tight spot, with the music video being deemed unsuitable for broadcast by all 3 tv stations. They expressed that the 100 dancers in the music video which was filmed in America, wasn't appropriate as they only wore their undergarments while dancing, and it was kind of suggestive.

This is such bullshittery. They really need to stop being so uppity & nitpicking >:/

Ugh. So tired of all the censorship/banning.

korea has some serious issues.

C'mon, we all knew that it would happen soon or not. "Crazy" is definitely not a good song to promote the album. The idea of a video with half-naked dancers was risky as hell, they should have known before. But it was fierce, haha.

And LMFAO @ "Vogue It Girl". LAME!

don't they play lady gaga videos there? i don't see how this is any different.

the second arragement reminds me of Christina Aguilera's Dirrty mixed with Rihanna's Disturbia.
and as much as I think that they take the whole censorship stuff much too far, I can understand this one.
it's not 'kind of suggestive', it's more like 'kind of obvious'.

[chickadork.livejournal.com]

they only wore their undergarments while dancing, and it was kind of suggestive.

kind of suggestive? ummm it was?!?!?! lol.

a lot of people seem to hate her voice, but I think it matches the genre of music really well and I love both songs to death. Vogue It Girl sounds kinda lame.... @_@

[iheartdarkblue.livejournal.com]

To be honest, if this was a good song, I'd be more upset over it.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]
