On August 30th, SISTAR appeared on YTN's "News & Issue, Issue & People" and talked about the harsher standards of evaluation that the music industry is undergoing.

The members were asked, "Because standards are getting a lot more strict lately, we heard that you had to switch up your choreography. What happened with that?"

"We edited our dance about 10 times because of a particular part that was considered sexually suggestive. We ended up with the 'neck dance', and fortunately, it's been receiving a positive response. They're still a bit upset that they weren't able to see the original dance, though," said Hyorin.

The reporter continued, "There are a lot of restrictions being imposed on singers, so what's it like from the point of view of a singer?"

"We want to show a variety of images but because of the strict standards, it's greatly limited what we're able to show. We do feel upset about it but we are trying our best to show as much as we possibly can. I think if that we were allowed to show more things, other idols, not only ourselves, will largely benefit from it as well," Hyorin responded.

Dasom also said, "It feels really empty to be asked to change something you prepared spending all night up for because it's slightly sexually suggestive. You come up with this image in your head as you come up with the choreography, and having to make changes ruins that image."

Provocative clothes or even dancing is never an excuse for sexual assault or rape, and even if you're trying to make a joke, rape is not fucking funny.

It was more a dig at the usual slut-shaming and rape culture that occurs in Omona quite frequently and the OP's comment. I wasn't attempting to make a joke out of rape.

Okay good :) I just really... argh. Slut shaming really just makes me want to reach out and shake people.

I would never! I am always in these posts fighting people about this kind of shit. I'm actually glad you got on me to clarify -- I'd hate for someone to think that I made a rape joke.

i like the modified dance so much better. the weird hand-butt gesture int he MV for so cool is not sexy.

SISTAR always seems to get the weirdest bans/issue with choreo/lyrics though. :( sucks.

From: [identity profile] cordyceps.livejournal.com
it's because they're with a smaller company. i find that groups from SM/YG/JYP never get these kind of bans (see minzy writhing around on the floor, min's "jack the dude off" dance in GBB, etc.)

it's also aaaaaaaaaalways the girl groups. sigh.

That makes sense. I never really thought of it having to do with them being with a small company :(

2pm just got banned, i'm pretty sure the grace did, and i remember mirotic was banned too. pretty sure gdragon was, for his concert being too suggestive?

i think with them it's more lyrics than choreo.

idk it just ranges all over the place. i don't even get it tbh. it seems to have a lot to do with booze-type lyrics.

i find with girl groups/solo girls it's choreo/outfits. sistar, hyunah, 4minute, t-ara's pants, dal shabet's shorts, etc.

From: [identity profile] sirenasfun.livejournal.com
Dal Shabet got banned for their shorts? Yet Krystal from f(x) easily glided under the radar with shorts that were short enough to be mistaken for underwear in a performance of Hot Summer. Ok~
I think one thing that bothers me most is that the banning is so inconsistent.

They got scared and switched their outfits up last minute for fear of getting banned. Same deal with Sistar.

And yeah, I agree with you.

iirc sistar and a few other groups that made comebacks recently edited choreo/lyrics/wardrobe preemptively without actually being banned so as to prevent any problems. imo the so cool dance wouldn't even have been a problem and they could have left it be, but i'm happy they didn't because it's so much better now.

in this case, the restriction did them good: that fart-fanning dance was tragic.

We seriously need a compilation post of some of the dumbest crap the ministry has banned. Because I will never forget them banning "under my skin."

However the fart move had to go.
Whatever it was "suggesting" to the ministry tho is a mystery to me... O.o

There really does need to be some kind of reform for constancy's sake, as well as artistic integrity. It's sad that a really excellent video like Sunny Hill's "Pray" is IMMEDIATELY banned for being too boundary pushing (though even I'll admit it's disturbing... a good kind of disturbing though), whereas Bubble Pop gets banned two or three weeks later over HyunA's booty-pop...

i hate bans but lol thank god that the 'rubbing my fart away' is no longer being used, that shit was terrible.
