"Shower Later" By Gary is Banned

So if you have seen Gary’s new music video “Shower Later” you would know how sexually explicit it is. “Shower Later” and “Zotto Molla” have been deemed inappropriate for television. If this video was released here in America it would be seen everywhere. I know that they video is a little over the top with the sexual innuendos. From what I understand the lyrics have a totally different meaning then music video itself.

According to Gary’s Agency the lyrics portray the feelings of a man towards a single women. Even if the lyrics “meaningful” and “innocent” it does not excuse the sexual content of the video. American Hip-Hop is filled with sexual content and innuendos but I've never seen this much sexula content with my little experience with Korean music. I guess I might not be looking very hard for it. But Gary is a grown man and can do what he wants.  Gary had to know what a music video like “Shower Later” would be banned. If VIXX’s “Voodoo Doll” got banned for its violence that the dance conveys then “Shower Later” would also be banned for its explicit sexual content.  

I am unfamiliar with South Koreas censorship criteria so I cannot point out the reasons why it was banned. As long as artists rely on radio and television studios play their music they can pick and choose what they play. If they believe it will be hurtful to they psyche of the younger generation they will not play it.

Gary has no plans of editing his work so it can be played on the radio or on television. The video has been banned due to its highly sexual content and suggestive lyrics.  Sometime I wish America had some type of censorship policy because I am tired of some of the crap I’ve seen in some music videos. But to separate himself from LeeSSang he has gone with a different concept.

Everyone is different and reactions to this video most likely very. If I listened just to the song I would have liked it. I have not gone and looked up the lyrics for “Shower Later” but I guess ignorance is bliss. I found it hard to listen to the lyrics while watching all of the explicit sexual acts going on. But Gary is a grown man and he will choose what he wants. If he chooses not to change and edit his music video then that is up to him. I wish him all the luck with his album Mr. Gae.
