One of South Korea's biggest broadcaster, KBS has banned Psy's music video 'gentleman' due to his ungentlemanly behavior. Psy kicks a traffic cone that says "no parking" in video, and this scene doesn't satisfy its criteria as a public broadcaster. KBS has banned other videos for same reasons in the past. On the other hands, 'gentleman' has racked up about 139 million views.
I can't comprehend why KBS established standards like that. The purpose of music video is not "breaking public facilities" and it just satirizes man's ungentle behaviors. I might understand this ban if they said that his video is too erotic to broadcast. I think KBS will regret someday due to losing public sympathy.
