BTS’ Jungkook Track “3D” Has Been Censored On Korean Music Websites Following Doubts Of NSFW

1 years ago By Movies Desk

In a recent music collaboration between BTS’s Jungkook and Western artist Jack Harlow, a song titled “3D” stirred up a censorship storm on major Korean music platforms. The release, accompanied by a visually captivating music video, drew significant attention for its unexpected narrative.

Anticipating that the song’s collaboration with a Western artist might diverge from traditional K-Pop norms, sharp-eyed netizens quickly discovered that certain lyrics had been censored on Korean music streaming platforms like MelOn and Genie. Strikingly, these same lyrics remained unaltered on global platforms like YouTube and other standard lyric websites.

The censored lyrics, while not explicitly explicit by Western standards, clearly deviated from the typical Korean music track content. This divergence led to the decision to censor them on Korean platforms, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans. Some fans humorously noted that the act of censorship ironically made the lyrics appear more explicit, especially when viewed from a Western perspective.

Netizens took to social media to express their opinions on the matter. Comments ranged from calls for uncensored versions to be released to acknowledging the cultural differences that might necessitate such censorship. One user remarked, “Why are they censoring the lyrics? Let us decide what we want to listen to!” Another commented on the cultural disparities, stating, “I think it’s a cultural difference. What’s considered explicit in one country might not be in another.”

Despite the censorship controversy, the song’s popularity hasn’t waned. However, Jungkook has found himself in the midst of a debate before. Recently, the producer who accused Jungkook’s song “Seven” of plagiarism is now embroiled in a plagiarism controversy himself.

As the world of K-Pop continues to merge with Western music, it’s likely that such cultural and regulatory clashes will occur. Yet, for many fans, the essence of the music and the artist’s intent remains paramount. In summary, Jungkook’s “3D” track has become the center of attention due to the censorship of lyrics on Korean music platforms, sparking discussions about cultural differences and artistic expression in the evolving landscape of K-Pop.
