Korea’s government has deemed T-ara’s music video as harmful.

On March 30, according to Korea′s Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the Commission on Youth Protection, under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MOGEF), ruled T-ara’s music video for their hit song Lovey-Dovey as harmful to underage youths.

At issue were the music video’s scenes involving violence, criminal acts, suicide, harmful businesses and harmful drugs.

In these cases where such a judgment is laid, the album containing the song in question must clearly be marked as restricted to minors and be barred from being sold to those under 19 years of age.

If the decision is not followed, the producing company, distribution company and seller may all be slapped with fines. No word yet from T-ara’s agency if they will appeal the ruling.

Uh..? Considering they're not even promoting this any more i'm sure this isn't going to hurt anyone. So in other words, not pressed.

How old is their average fan?

If the issue is with the video, what's the relation to the song/album being restricted?

The video is basically a short thriller so I don't necessarily see the problem with it receiving a rating.

Pretty sure they're banning the drama version not the thriller version. Or both :o But all the things listed were from the drama version.

"T-ara's Lovey Dovey MV BANNED due to violence, criminal acts, harmful businesses, suicide, and drugs"

And let's be honest, anyone who didn't see this coming...
didn't a BEAST song get banned just for mentioning alcohol?

Huh? Did they find something from the lyrics too since usually they don't ban the album (unless it contains MV) even if they ban the MV.

My thoughts on this: The Korean Ministry that banned this had grounds to do so.. they were right. Even though I'm not a T-ara fan, I'm glad this only happened now because if it had happened during the promotion period it would have been really sad for the girls, considering they worked their butts off for this MV. At least they had time to show the fruits of their labor (despite the message the video conveys--after all they're not the one to blame for it).

Going to watch this video now. I know, took me this long. I'm not into T-Ara, so yeah...
But I'm hella curious now.
