allkpop previously reported that B2ST and Cube Entertainment were filing a lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family for banning the song “Rainy Days,” from their 1st official album as “harmful media.”

It seems that the parties involved were able to come to a conclusion as Cube Entertainment stated, “Last month on the 25th at Seoul’s administrative court of justice, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family was given a suspension of their decision that [the song] was harmful to minors, and on the 5th, the court passed the suspension request.” Seoul’s court of justice commented, “In order to solve the loss experienced by the plaintiff, we decided that a quick decision was needed.”

The song “Rainy Days” was originally banned in July for the lyrics, “You must be drunk, I think this is a good time to stop,” as the Ministry claimed it would encourage minors to drink alcohol. Cube Entertainment will be dropping their lawsuit against the Ministry as the ban against the song is being suspended.

'DAS RIGHT, CAN'T BAN MY PERFECT BBS.
“You must be drunk, I think this is a good time to stop,”

why would that call for a ban though?

in other articles the line is usually translated as "i must be drunk, i think i should stop drinking", or something to that effect.
(...which still was a lame reason to ban it in the first place, but, you know.)

Yay! I love how Cube doesn't give a fuck about what others think! Especially that Ministry which seems more busy with banning songs than with dealing with real Equality problems! ^^

I find it particularly funny that these lyrics actually say "I think this is a good time to stop" - eg: NOT promoting drunkenness.
Seems pretty clear that the MOGEF just usues a search function to look for the words 'alchohol', 'drunk', etc. FAIL.

Yay for B2ST. :)
