Psy's "Gentleman" was deemed suitable for broadcast by both MBC and SBS.

MBC announced, "Psy's 'Gentleman' MV will receive a rating of 15+. This isn't a decision on the full version, but on the edited version for broadcast. The panel felt that there were a few sexual scenes in the edited version, so it was deemed 15+."

SBS has given the music video a rating of 12+, so the only terrestrial broadcast station that judged the MV unsuitable for broadcast is KBS.

KBS had previously stated, "In the beginning of the 'Gentleman' MV, one of the scenes show Psy kicking a 'no parking' sign. Due to the display of damage to public property, it was deemed unsuitable for broadcast. Artists' music videos normally air at the end of variety shows, but because Psy's 'Gentleman' MV has been banned, we cannot air it."
