omonatheydid'XXOK', the first track off indie band The Koxx's debut full-length album, has been banned from broadcast on TV stations.
The first track - titled XXOK - off their full-length album, Access OK, has been banned by the major Korean TV networks - reason being that that the ‘XX’ in XXOK might have had hidden connotations.
Their label has tried to explain that XXOK is (The) Koxx spelled in reverse. Moreover, the band had decided to name their album Access OK as it sounded similar to the title. It was merely a play on words and there were no implied meanings intended, but the networks ultimately did not comply.
