The singer ‘Baby Soul’ (19·Lee Soojung)’s first digital single ‘No Better Than Strangers’ got caught under KBS’ review.

KBS forbid Baby Soul’s single title track ‘No Better Than Strangers’ to broadcast because its lyrics included words that belittled men.

‘You can’t even do this you jerk, am I asking for something big? You can’t even do this you wicked man, you should at least pretend’ is the problematic part.

Her company Woollim entertainement declared “It’s only realistic lyrics relating the feelings of a woman resentful toward a man, we didn’t intend to belittle men at all” and “It’s confusing but we won’t be changing the lyrics”.

‘No Better Than Strangers’ was written by Sweetune who also participated in the groups ‘Infinite’ and ‘Kara”s album. It received a lot of attention since the singer Wheesung featured in it before going to the army.

Oh come on!!!
What about lyrics saying that girls are bitch and worst they don't get censored do they?

‘You can’t even do this you jerk, am I asking for something big? You can’t even do this you wicked man, you should at least pretend’ is the problematic part.
Seriously?

IKR like JYJ's Get Out. "You're never going to find true love, f*** you."

Don't get me wrong, I love the song, and I love the anger. Love is as strong an emotion as hate, and I don't think you can really personally hate someone until you've been in love with them and they've betrayed you in some way. Strong emotions exist ppl, get over it.

Why would they?
Women are lower beings apparently.

The actual word meaning for "jerk" in that line is "bastard", according to my Korean friend, and that's really why the song has been banned. For that one word. Lol. But she said when it's translated to English, people usually change it to "jerk".

Didn't Secret have a song with that title? Granted, the sing was not their title track, but wouldn't it have been banned as well when it was made public?

oh really
I think Woollim entertainment paid to KBS to rate it this way so more pple will hear this song and my guess is more realistic tbh

That would make sense,since she's a nugu,but then again it is Korea,so this is probably legit.

Someone's a little sensitive on the board... those lyrics weren't that hateful towards men. Just a jerk. Are they saying that jerk = generalization of men? These censorship guys have too much time on their hands.

"nappeun noma" generally means Bastard in Korean, but when translated to english is usually said to be "jerk" so it might be just because she's calling the imaginary man portrayed in the song a bastard.. either way i'm still face palming. Lol
