[Edaily SPN Park Mi Ae Reporter] Following the news of singer K.Will, it has been revealed late that group BEAST was also banned.
The song "Still" on BEAST's debut album which came out in October was banned by KBS.

"Still" is a sentimental R&B song that expresses the feelings of a person who has no experience in breaking up.

The song did not pass trial because of a phrase that has the potential to be misheard and misunderstood as a cuss word. Within the lyrics "The loneliness surrounds me as I spend the night in tears, shh," the exclamation "shh" is heard as the cuss word "sh*t."

A representative from BEAST's entertainment company CUBE said, "Of course the phrase was not used as a cuss word." The company has not yet submitted a request for a retrial.

After their debut last month with the song "Bad Girl," BEAST has been gaining popularity.

Winning the hearts of Asia with [Sorry, Sorry], Super Junior has announced plans to hold their very first concert in Taiwan on the 20th of February next year, during the auspicious Chinese New Year.

True to their popularity, there have already been calls to the organizing unit by black market profiteers, for 3000 tickets to the show.

The tickets officially go on sale in December, but the best tickets, namely the front zones, will only be on preorder for the first round of sales, so fans in the Southern and Central parts of Taiwan are complaining that they have to make a trip up to Taipei specially for the tickets.

Organizing unit Superdome expressed: “We’re working out the details right now, and we’ll try our best to coordinate our efforts with the fans. To prevent black market profiteers from making huge purchases, fans have to register first before getting a number, and they have to show their identification cards too.”

Even with these precautions, there already have been attempts made to get tickets first. An example would be some calling up Superdome to purchase 3000 tickets at one go, and others claiming that they are making company purchases – without being able to name a proper company to boot.

(Rest of article not pertaining to SJ has been omitted)


I guess these tickets must fetch alot on the black market huh. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets, here
