Furthermore, you must have adult certification to download the song. With this news, netizens replied, "The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is trying to block our ears", "At this rate, they're going to ban the Pororo song for having the lyrics, 'I like playing the most'", "They're banning whatever they grab", showing their confusion and lack of understanding. Famous composer Yoon Il Sang criticized the Ministry's standard's for 'hazardous material', as well.

He spoke up about the banning of 10cm's "Americano", in particular, "If "Americano" is hazardous material for children, I suggest banning the Pororo song for suggesting playing with the lyrics, 'I like playing the most'. Couldn't that be bad for children, too?" and that "In reality, there's always things hazardous for children in a 100 meter radius. Although there are things like that existing, they are only setting limits to the lyrics of music. It just doesn't make sense logically", criticizing the Ministry. Concluding, Yoon Il Sang stated, "Putting censorship on music even after death is like taking away the freedom of expression in the Democratic nation", showing his regretful feelings.
