KARD is known to push boundaries with suggestive lyrics and choreography. Yet, BM especially has gone viral, for his explicit solo music, and his upcoming EP will be no different.
KBS has deemed all the songs on his upcoming solo mini-album “unsuitable for broadcast.” Reportedly, KBS’ music review results were announced on May 1, and each Element song, including the title track “Nectar,” is inappropriate for broadcast.
According to KBS, “Nectar” is unsuitable due to overly sexual lyrics, and “Loyalty” is problematic due to the mentioning of brands (it violates Article 46 of Broadcasting Review Regulations, which restrict advertising). The other three songs, “Embers,” “Motion,” and “Badgirl Badboy,” were all deemed unfit for broadcast due to coarse language (profanity, vulgar expressions, slang, etc.) and explicit sexual lyrics.
If BM chooses to, he can modify such lyrics and be reconsidered. If the edit is approved, it can be promoted via KBS programs. At this time, BM’s agency, DSP Media, said that only “Nectar,” the title track, will be requested for reconsideration.
BM reposted the news concerning his “unfit” songs via X (formerly Twitter). He responded with the highlight medley.
