A major South Korean broadcaster says it has banned PSY's new music video because the rapper is shown abusing public property.
The "Gentleman" video opens with PSY kicking a cone that says "no parking."
State-funded KBS said Thursday the scene doesn't meet its standards as a public broadcaster. Two spokesmen say KBS has banned other videos for similar reasons in the past.
They spoke anonymously because they say it is the broadcaster's company policy.
KBS is 1 of 3 major tv networks in South Korea. Think BBC in the UK or CBS in the USA.
Yeah, that's gonna make him flop, because KBS allocates so much time to music videos in their programming. As far as I understood, this ban doesn't extend to live performances on Music Bank, if he chooses to go there. Is KBS mad that 'Gangnam Style' destroyed the Music Bank K-Chart? Is this their futile attempt to cut back on 'Gentleman's' broadcast points, which were the driving force of 'Gangnam Style's' success?

just another way for them to keep YG Artists down.
