Popular South Korean boy band BTS is all set to release its anthology album on 10th June 2022.
And now ahead of the release, there comes a big blow for the band as two of the songs from its new album ‘Proof’, have been banned to be broadcast on KBS.
It was earlier announced that the new anthology album would feature three new songs – Yet to Come, For Youth, and Run BTS. The band also shared that the album would also include a remastered version of the track – Born Singer which was out in 2013 only via YouTube and Spotify.
However, on June 8, the broadcaster KBS shared its weekly post and thereby gave ratings for the appropriateness of BTS’ Proof album songs on its website.
‘Born Singer’ and ‘Run BTS’ banned by KBS; ‘For Youth’ Pending
According to that, the tracks – “Run BTS” and “Born Singer” have been deemed as “unqualified for broadcasting” for using swear words, slang, or vulgar expressions.
However, the track “For Youth” has been kept pending. KBS mentioned, “30 seconds of concert sounds, lyrics not confirmed”.
