Very soon, you will be able to see DBSK's Mirotic being played on tv, radio in the original version and no more “19-only” stickers affixed on their Mirotic album.April 1st, 2009 at 10 am at Seoul Administrative Court in Seocho-dong (chief judge by Kim Hong-do) was held the case-court of SM Entertainment againts South Korea Youth Protection Committee regarding the banning of DBSK’s 4th album “MIROTIC”.
The judges: Kim Hong-do, Park Jae Young, and Yi Yong-woo finally win SM Entertainment with the statement, “The ban over MIROTIC on last November 27th will be canceled, and trial of the defendant shall bear the cost.”
For a flash back, November 27th last year, DBSK’s MIROTIC was judged by South Korea Youth Protection Committe for having harmful lyrics. Some lyrics in MIROTIC song such as “Red Ocean” was interpreted as woman’s hymen, “Crystal” as sperm, and “Under My Skin” as having sex.This was followed by restricting Mirotic from being played on tv and radio and only allowing those above 19 to buy the album from stores. But the ruling seemed to be rather retarded since most of the fans have already gotten the album before the ruling was passed.In order to minimize the impact to DBSK's promotion for Mirotic, SM Entertainment made changes to the lyrics and the Mirotic clean version was used during performances:I got you became I chose you
under my skin became under my sky As for the performance, MIROTIC song can only be performed after 10 pm in all TV stations
But SM Entertainment didn't admit defeat and filed an appeal on 15th December, hoping to get the ban lifted and it has taken almost 4 months for the ban to be lifted. Kind of late considering it's already April 2009 now and DBSK has since moved on with their career in Japan with new Japanese Album released- The Secret Code that pleced second in the Oricon Chart last week.P.S DBSK oppa!
