Block B’s “Freeze!” gets banned for the second time without an explanation

The questionable standards of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family have been highlighted once again with the second ban of Block B’s debut track, “Freeze!”

As reported earlier, the song was banned by the MOGEF earlier this year for containing lyrics describing unwholesome dating methods. Two lines in particular were judged to be unacceptable: “Send all of your friends home”, and “I’m waiting for you right here.”

Fans questioned the ban, especially since the lyrics didn’t mention any alcohol or sexual activity.

Nevertheless, Brand New Stardom decided to re-edit the lines to “My eyes are already watching you”, and “This night is waiting for you”. They resubmitted the song for re-evaluation in order to put it in their “New Kids on the Block” release, and the MOGEF passed the edit, allowing Block B to re-release “Freeze” through their mini-album.


However, on August 27th, MOGEF had banned the song once again without giving any notice to the company or its artists, and they did not provide an explanation detailing why.

Block B fans hoping to attend fan signings have begun to protest, especially since the album is no longer available for sale to minors.

Member U-Kwon commented on his Twitter, “Kids can’t listen to idol music anymore.”

In other related news, Block B will be going on a four-city nationwide Japanese showcase tour next month, all of which sold out within three minutes of going on sale.

Super Junior’s Heechul talks about his decision to enlist in September

After officially announcing that he woud be joining the army next month, Super Junior’s Heechul sat down for an interview with Star News and revealed his thoughts on his upcoming enlistment.

Heechul began, “I’m already going at a later age than most, so I wanted to enlist as quietly as possible. After I enlisted, I was planning to tell everyone through Leeteuk’s radio program. Those around me, however, said that it wouldn’t be respectful to my fans or to everyone else who had an interest in me, and I agreed. That’s why I revealed my enlistment decision at the company today.”


He continued, “I briefly did think about delaying it, especially since it hasn’t been that long since Super Junior’s fifth album, ‘Mr. Simple‘, was released, and also because it’s doing so well… but I thought that it’d be better to just turn my decision into actions while I was still in the mindset. I actually feel more comfortable now that it’s gone out. In the remaining time, I’ll be concluding my broadcast activities as well as make a visit to my hometown in Kangwon-do. There are a lot of things I have to do.”

Heechul also thanked his members and fans by stating, “I’m really thankful to the Super Junior members. I’m too shy to say it directly so I texted them saying, ‘You guys need your hyung.’ I’m just so grateful for them and I trust that they’ll lead Super Junior in a great way while I’m away.”

To his fans, he said, “Thank you for loving me unconditionally over the past six years. I won’t, however, ask for you to wait for me. Instead, please support me again if you still like me when I come back with a heart of starting anew.”

Commenting on his actual service, he said, “I’m grateful to my time in the army because it allowed me to see and understand myself for who I truly am. What I felt within my service was that the Korean army is stronger than what’s perceived externally. I hope that everyone puts their trust in us and lives happily.”

Boom then told Leeteuk, “I think it’s fortunate that you protected ‘Strong Heart’ until my discharge. Thank you so much for giving me so much love before and after my service.”
