All Kpop reports:
“SM Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the unfair judgment which deemed S.M The Balladâs album as âinappropriate for youthsâ.
According to the Seoul Administrative Court, SM Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family, stating, âWe cannot accept the judgment which was made with imprecise standards.â
The Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family deemed S.M The Balladâs track, âAnother Dayâ, as inappropriate for anyone under legal age due to the lyricsâ references to alcohol (âDrunk on alcohol so that I donât miss youâ and âIf you fall asleep drunk, you dreamâ).
Yet representatives of SM Entertainment are claiming this judgment to be ridiculous. One particular representative expressed their opinion to Star News, saying âWe donât understand why they would flag it for inappropriate content based on references to alcohol. They didnât consider the charm of the song as a whole. Judging by specific words impedes the writersâ freedom of expression.â
Last November, Super Juniorâs Kyuhyun, SHINeeâs Jonghyun, TRAXâs Jay and Jino worked together for a project group named âS.M The Balladâ. However, since the album was deemed as inappropriate for youths, fans under 19 years old was unable to purchase the album.”
