Blackpink’s ‘Pink Venom’ excluded from KBS’ ‘Mubang’ chart… ‘Incompetent’ judgment

KBS “Mention of a specific product brand in the lyrics”… YG doesn’t submit revisions

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Tae-soo = It has been confirmed that Black Pink’s new song ‘Pink Venom’ was judged ‘unsuitable’ in KBS’s own deliberation and excluded from the chart of the major music program ‘Music Bank’.

According to the music industry on the 5th, ‘Pink Venom’ was omitted from ‘Music Bank”s own chart ‘K-Chart’ in the first week of September.

On the other hand, Black Pink’s ‘Lovesick Girls’ released in 2020 and ‘As If It’s Your Last’ released in 2017 contrasted with each other, ranking 38th and 40th on the charts, even after many years.

‘Pink Venom’ is considered unusual because it is gaining global popularity by sweeping the top of the domestic music charts and entering the top of the US Billboard’s main single chart ‘Hot 100’.

In addition to ‘Music Bank’, this song topped other music programs such as MBC M’s ‘Show Champion’, Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’, and SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’.

A KBS official explained, “As a result of the deliberation, the song could not be ranked because it was decided not to be broadcast.”

According to KBS’s ‘Gayo Review Results’ on the 24th of last month, ‘Pink Venom’ was judged as ‘ineligible’ for ‘violation of Article 46 of the Broadcasting Review Regulations, such as mentioning the brand of a specific product’.

It seems to have taken issue with the mention of French luxury brand ‘Celine’ in the lyrics of ‘Pink Venom’.

In this case, since terrestrial TV is the main channel for promoting new songs, it is common for the agency to revise the problematic part and request review again. However, it is known that the agency YG Entertainment did not request a reconsideration because some of the lyrics were modified.

In the music industry, there is an interpretation that this is because BLACKPINK is not appearing on KBS ‘Music Bank’ anyway, and they do not have to dwell on number one on domestic music programs.

Due to a tight schedule, such as the MTV ‘Video Music Awards’ (VMA) performance, which is a major American music awards ceremony last month, and the shooting of the 2nd regular music video to be released this month, Blackpink made ‘Pink Venom’ appear in the domestic music program once on SBS ‘Inkigayo’. I couldn’t do it outside.

There is also an analysis that YG Entertainment, the agency, focused on global publicity through YouTube, VMA appearances, and overseas chart rankings such as US Billboard and UK official charts rather than domestic broadcasting in line with BLACKPINK’s changed status.

BLACKPINK will release their 2nd full-length album ‘BORN PINK’ on the 16th and go on a large world tour starting in Seoul next month, traveling around North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
