Korea Media Rating Board shocked and betrayed that Eminem's show wasn't PG

The Korea Media Rating Board actually seriously really totally believed that Eminem would put on a show appropriate for 12 year olds.

lol

The Korea Media Rating Board has filed a complaint with the police against the promoter of Eminem’s Seoul concert for violating a public performance law, officials said on Thursday.

The hip-hop star performed 26 songs at his Aug. 19 concert, including 20 songs rated “inappropriate” for teenagers by the Gender Ministry, the rating board said. Access E&T, Seoul promoter of the show, initially submitted a list of 11 songs that had received the green light from the Gender Ministry, but none of the 11 songs were performed at the show, KMRB said. The ratings board gave the show a PG (age 12 and up) rating because it didn’t have any of harmful songs for youth, it added.

“The show included performances that were inappropriate for minors such as leading the audience to shout out cuss words (after the performer),” officials said.

Is a snarky comment from me even necessary here?

Story already sounds like it was taken from The Onion or some shit.

  1. the korea media board is surely naive on happenings outside korea.

  2. LOL. Only thing that would be more hilarious is them realizing that Snoop Dogg – the man who sang with their nine angels – is the same man who made the song “Gangbangin’ 101″

  3. Herp derp derp.

  4. bahahahhahahaaaaaa wow.

  5. Rapidly-Decreasing

    LOL i cant believe they thought he was going to sing about rainbows and unicorns . this man is a rapper who raps about various thing . most of his songs if not all have cuss words in it . this is amusing .

  6. lol gender ministry, what a joke

  7. They all need to be smacked for assuming some shit like that. They got on gaga’s ass for the fact that she’s real mainstream and spreads homosexuality, but they honest god believed a rapper wouldn’t be any worse? And it’s fucking eminem.

    Korea, you fail.

    On the plus side though, I’m glad eminem fucked them over and gave the crowd what the fuck eminem basically stands for.

  8. I ain’t never seen an ass like that, the way you move it, you make my pee pee go, a doing doing doing.
    I bet the little ones liked that.

  9. Off topic but…

    I was watching GG’s new video (it’s nice, the visuals and the music are great).

    ROFL, these antis/fans/whatever.

  10. lmao, that’s really funny!

  11. It’s like they invited a famous painter (known for his explicit works), but didn’t know he was going to paint something suggestive for the public.

    Come on now.

  12. Sorry to stray off topic but CCM is a slick mofo lol. He have kids performing on stage with T-ara inorder to prevent anything negative from happening….like boos or items being thrown

  13. M&M: WHEN I SAY HO, YOU SAY NIGGA. HO~

    Koreans: Whaaoo M&M can speak Korean!! NIGGAAAAAA!!!

    *cough*

  14. Someone tell me why this board even exists? These kids will always find a way to access “youth inappropriate” songs. Instead of targeting music, they should be targeting bullying, Internet addiction, and suicide. Those are the REAL harmful factors to youth.

    • IKR?!?! I have such a problem with the Korean government doing this- it’s beyond stupid. I remember Lady Gaga said something like “I think that the parents of those attending my concert know what’s better for them than the government” when the ministry didn’t allow people at a certain age to attend the concert.

      And yeah, they should be putting more money and attention on their school systems instead. The Korean exchange students that would come to my high school would say how they didn’t have people for guidance like counselors, how bullying is really bad but you can’t do anything about it (if a teacher tries to handle it, the school will get a call from an angry parent demanding that they leave their child, the bully, alone. Bully gets away with it, teacher gets in trouble). Maybe if they turned their focus to things like that instead of this stupid crap, their suicide rates would go down

      • It’s sad to know how foreigners are seen as potential vectors of danger while bullying seems to be something almost institutionalized in the daily school life and suicide among young people is steadily increasing in the country.

        Apparently all foreigners except Eminem.

      • and this why many k-netizens are keyboard warriors

        • they can’t vent it out accordingly and instead blows it on the nearest thing they can associate it (like for example t-ara) but then it goes too far that it becomes idiotic

    • Yeah I agree. The whole idea of it is stupid.

  15. Can’t tell if naivety or simply retarded…

  16. I bet it’s because he’s a white male, they didn’t think he would do such a thing… now he’s on board with MBC’s “Bad Foreigners” list! Better hide yo Korean teens, yo Korean girls…. he gettin errrrrrybody out there!

    All of that regulation crap would make me not wanna perform in Korea…

  17. Why am I not surprised about it?

  18. There goes any chance of the Insane Clown Posse visiting Seoul…..

    • mybiasbeatsyourbias

      This comment is gold

      I guess Korea thought the Eminem meant he was for kids? Because he was white and only the black ones are criminals-have I gone to far with that last statement?

      Korea did this to lady gaga when she came over their. When she did interviews in the past she had mention her token korean friend. How she wated to visit Asia and what not. Korea thought she would turn their youth gay. Like Jo Kwon and G-Dragon along with Siwon didn’t do that.

      I think Korea isn’t ready for the wrest of the world.

    • Actually, Insane Clown Posse would probably slip through the Korean Media Rating Board because they sing about rainbows and miracles.

  19. I wish they made a porn, starring Gyuri and Eminem.

    Their brains would implode from all the deliciousness and the fucks not given.

    • If that happens they better have a stretcher and the paramedics ready at the door, ’cause Eminem looks like the type that be choking bitches and stuff.

  20. Yourbiasisshit

    *shrugs*
    Eminem doesn’t give a shit about this. LOL
    They should have filled S. Korea with giraffes because he hates them.

    Now, the thing that bothered me with the anti-Lady Gaga’s concert was the the quote “to stop young people from being infected with homosexuality and pornography”.

    And I was like:

    • ROFL right. And that’s why they have gay bars, gay clubs and more stuff for the gay community (which is cool by the way).

      And also, PLENTAY of pornography on the internet and sex tapes of famous actresses. ROFL ROFL ROFL

  21. They should slap themselves for being so dumb.

  22. Why does Eminem’s face look messed up?

  23. He is white so it probably never crossed their minds. :-)

  24. FUCKWHATYOUSAY

    LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT!
    so it’s ok for 2 dudes to fuck each other while horny girls are watching, but when a ‘Rapper’ (an actual one) made a performance with an actually meaningful rap, they say it’s violation..
    Korea..you seriously need to comme des fuckdown

  25. AAAaaahh!! Somebody said a bad word. Quick cover your children’s ears. If they hear the word “fuck” they might go to hell. For Christ sake, cover their ears. We cannot allow them to hear bad language.

  26. I say Christendom
