You are now not allowed to buy G-Dragon’s album if you under 19. I hear angry VIP fans coming.
From this decision, you can already observe the differences between Korean’s view of sex and drugs, and America’s view of sex and drugs. To me, G-Dragon didn’t really mention drugs or sex, but officials in Korea thought differently. They decided to give him the “sticker,” and the sticker only allows people, who are over 19, to be able to purchase the album. They stated that his song She’s Gone has some references to drugs, and the song Korean Dream was the “wrong, inappropriate dream” of Koreans. I understand why they thought of the song Korean Dream badly because to me, the song did sound a bit weird and corrupted in a way.
This also reminds me when they banned Rainism by Rain and Mirotic by DBSK. Are the officials in Korea that judge the content in Korean music being too harsh? Do you think such action should be made in America?
