Both female and male idols use sex as a selling point even if they are underage. But male idols are more loved if they take their shirts off.

What is the criteria for banning? -Sasha

# data[].attributes.body
To show the criteria of banning examples will be provided:
- BlackPink's "Boombayah" was banned by KBS for its lyrics "in my hand theres a bottle full of henny" which promoted drinking and was a brand endorsement of the alcohol Hennessy. And the profanity "Middle fingers up, F U pay me."
- PSY "Gentlemen" was banned for the kicking of a traffic cone in the opening of the video which translated to abuse of public property
-Orange Caramel's "Catellena"  was banned for "devaluing human life" as in the music video the members are wrapped up as mermaids in food packages.  https://www.allkpop.com/article/2015/12/13-k-pop-songs-that-were-banned-for-the-most-ridiculous-reasons/s/3

-BTS' new album "Love yourself: Her" had four songs banned- "Go Go," "Pied Piper," "Billboard awards skit," and hidden track "Sea." The reasoning being that "According to KBS, the songs were banned for mentioning specific brands, use of slang, and vulgar language." http://www.koreaboo.com/news/4-bts-new-songs-banned-broadcast/

Essentially songs are banned based on their offensiveness to the three broadcasting companies. The reasons vary from brand endorsement, inappropriate lyrics, over sexualisation and promoting drinking. Whilst some instances can be justified, majority of songs banned (such as almost half of BTS' songs and most of G-Dragons) surround weak reasoning such as slightly inappropriate language or allusions to brands mentioned briefly.

http://www.koreaboo.com/uncategorized/12-explicit-dance-moves-that-were-banned-by-the-korean-government/
Evidently more often than not, dances that are deemed 'too sexy' are always by girl groups. There is only the one instance of male group Cross Gene who were banned for too much crotch and hip thrusting. However the companies over sexualisation of females. In western society it is socially acceptable for idols to twerk or hip thrust, however in South Korea's more conservative society, these dance moves rarely see the stage. KBS, SBS and NBC are the censorship of the entertainment industry and remove anything from the spotlight that is overly sexual or emphasises various regions of a woman's body in dance.
Songs that involve "over sexualised" content are banned on broadcast but are still produced. The dance choreography is also modified for music shows. A lot of the time the sexualisation of a kpop group is without the consent of the members. Rather it is decided for them as per their contracts. Examples of this include but are not limited to, Stellar, Girls day, 4L and Hello Venus.

Scholarly article: Gender by Jung Sun- Sasha

# data[].attributes.body
- G-dragon is an artist that has defied the rigid gender roles within South Korean society
- He is famous for his rapping and K-pop group Big Bang produced by YG.
- Also a famous fashion icon who challenges gender roles in relation to fashion by wearing male skirts, proudly wearing nail art and his androgynous appearance.
- Jung discusses trans-cultural hybridity is one of the most significant aspects of contemporary South Korean popular culture
- Boy groups are encompassing versatile masculinity through manufacturing their images via performances in which male groups often make parody of girl group dances and songs to produce 'soft masculinity.' This allows them to meet the complex desires of global mass consumers by not only employing soft masculinity, but hard masculinity in their own music where they perhaps appear shirtless or get in a fight (BTS RUN)
- Soft masculinity is what KBS, NBC and SBS approve of more. And heavily censor groups for some of the most ridiculous reasons
For example:
- GD & TOP - Knock Out was banned because of the title which is slang for "obsessed" that usually has sexual connotation.

Banned for: Use of profanity

-The track "Fun Boys" by BTS was banned from music stations due to a use of the Chinese phrase "chi fan le ma" for "did you eat" which sounds like a curse word in Korean.
Reason for ban: Use of a Chinese term that "sounds" like a curse word- Watch it at: 2:35 - 2:40
-Big Bang - We Like 2 Party was banned for the advertisement of foreign wine and wine consumption.

Banned for: Indirect advertisement of wine

Watch it at: 1:40 - 2:40
