Zico expresses his thoughts on Block B's song bans

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Thursday, February 2, 2012



As previously reported, Block B held an exciting comeback showcase for their new mini-album, "Welcome to the Block". The showcase was comprised of performances and interviews, and it was during a Q&A session that member Zico addressed the issue of their banned songs.

To recap, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MOGEF) had banned several songs from their debut digital album. Additionally, two songs from their comeback album, "LOL" and "Did You or Did You Not", were also banned by both the MOGEF and KBS.

Leader Zico, who produced the album, explained, "It's not that we don't consider the regulations when we're producing the songs, but I did often think that our freedom of expression was being interrupted. Still, I do acknowledge that as as a producer that creates songs meant for the public, it was a shortcoming of mine to not have paid more attention to the regulations."

He continued, "There still is that feeling of disappointment, but I'm not going to remain stubborn blindly. I'll still try to protect Block B's color; it's just that since our music is meant for the public, I will try to consider aspects to their tastes."

Check out Block B's comeback album and MV if you haven't already! The boys are currently ranked in the 'Top 3' on album sales charts.
