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.

Date: 2011-12-07 03:09 pm (UTC)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
