Although they’ve just released their debut music video, girl group Stellar have been slammed with a ban from KBS for sexually suggestive content in “Rocket Girl“.

Composed by Kim Do Hyun (of Lee Hyori’s hit track, “10 Minutes“), “Rocket Girl” carried a theme of enjoying life with confidence. The music video itself fits the song’s quirky atmosphere, but KBS viewed the music video as too offensive, as it contained sexually suggestive scenes of the members in leggings and violent content involving gun fights.

MBC and SBS passed the music video with no problems.

A representative of Stellar’s agency revealed, “The music video features a lot of impressive scenes, but it’s been met with an unexpected ban from KBS. Unfortunately, we were left with no choice but to re-edit the entire music video, deleting scenes that had fighting and the members’ sexy outfits.”

They continued, “Fortunately, KBS accepted the re-evaluation and passed the music video. Due to requests from fans, we will be releasing the unedited music video in full through YouTube at a later date.”

So the version that was released was the edited version. I'm curious to see what the original looks like now :x

Wondering about the 'severity' of this content tbh, cause I've seen a lot of music videos (and dramas) with gun fights in them and 'sexually suggestive' stuff by K-standards, that have never been banned.

10 minutes was an awesome song. Would have never thought the same writer would do Rocket Girl.
And violence.. it was basically laser tag and was the best part of the music video.

Why do they want all the idol MVs to look the same?

lmao i don't even like this group or their video but,

1) going by their standards: girls in leggings is sexually suggestive? but bare legs in 3-inch inseam minis and 4-inch heels is a-ok?
2) violent is people being shot with a laser-gun to go to sleep? you could make a case about the girls kinda pistol-whipping people into unconsciousness, but they all ended up getting back up and dancing in the end and there wasn't any visible damage (blood, scarring, bruises) shown on them.
3) if the edited video is anything to go by, there was nothing impressive about any of it.
4) it prolly shouldn't have been banned in the first place. it's a shame how it had to be 're-evaluated' because of some inconsistent bullshit ass standards that they made up so they wouldn't have to deal with phonecalls from parents from every single idol video ever.

Dis banning shit is ridiculous. Maybe all the music companies should just band up together and get a music-only channel and air that "banned" shit 24/7.

No just ban it because it's sorta bad, ask for a video redo.
Not even Eric chanting could save it.
They are banning so much because they are getting heat for letting some stars in the past put it out like dime store hookers. So they are just trying to keep the peace.

Ummm didn't 2NE1 have guns in their "I Am The Best" mv? And didn't JYP have a mv where he shot a woman and himself in the head with his "finger"??? For the love of Shisus, at least be consistent with your banning! Crazy mofos >__>
