Rocker YB’s sexy new music video banned on Korean television
By Ko Dong-hwan
Korean rock band YB’s new music video containing sexually explicit graphic contents made its national airing impossible except online, reports said Thursday.
In the music video for their new song entitled “Cigarette Girl,” the band’s vocal Yoon Do-hyun indulges himself in a steaming hot love scene with a New York model known as Alisa Obrivanova.
The two make out inside a SUV with a police cherry atop and on a bed.
Korea Communication and Standards Commission rated the video R, prohibiting it from airing on television. It can be watched only online.
The video was directed by an American management agency. Yoon’s appearance in the video, according to himself who appeared on a radio show at SBS Power FM Wednesday, was encouraged by the agency.
He said they wanted to depict the video in the same vein as the music’s lyrics, lustful of sex.
The reports said Yoon praised Alisa on her acting in the video. About pulling off the love scene with her, he said, “no joke.”
