'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.

their album's single for those that have not heard of the koxx. fyi, this is not the song that's been banned.

Free publicity for these guys, though. Good job.

Might as well ban the entire band while you're at it, their name gives off more connotations that that song title

GEMA doesn't like the entire world and the entire world doesn't like GEMA. When will someone rid us of the evil that is GEMA?

idk they're called "the koxx"...it may just be their band name backward...or their band name may be inappropriate by itself...BUT CONTINUE, continue...

Banning a song for having "XX" in the title. Quit embarrassing yourself, Korea.




Song in question:

I'm still waiting for this new album "Access OK" to go up on iTunes, but you can find their first EP "Enter" there ("Troublemaker" is still my favorite song from them). If you do Soribada, you can find all their stuff their too. Otherwise, YesAsia has this album.

Happy shopping!

lmao at banning for the 'possible hidden connotations of XX', when you have a group named The cocks KOXX. Yep, fantastic example of a blind spot there. XD
