Kim Hyun Joong and his entertainment company, Key East, managed to retract the ban on one of his tracks, “Please“.

The song, which was a part of his “Break Down” solo album, had been banned by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (“MOGEF“) for being “harmful media to the youth”.

In it’s overturning decision, the courts proclaimed that “In books, movies, and dramas permitted for teenage viewing, there are often scenes of drinking and smoking to quell sadness. In the interest of maintaining freedom of speech, it must also be allowed in popular music. It cannot be assumed that just because it is there, it promotes drinking or smoking.”

The MOGEF had banned the song earlier in the year for lyrics such as “Through the expanding cigarette smoke” and “Because I’m drunk”.

The court struck down MOGEF’s reasoning, saying, “Taking the lyrics in context of the entire song, the phrases are just a way to express the horrible emotions after breaking up with a lover, not encouraging drinking or smoking.”

SS501′s Kim Hyung Jun recently traveled to Japan amidst the welcoming of hundreds of fans that had gathered for his arrival at the Haneda Airport for his KBS drama, “She’s Completely Insane!”

Filming for the drama, in which he plays the leading role, took place in Yokohama and Tokyo, and fans from all over Japan made sure to visit the film sets. The gathering of fans proved to be quite the attraction, as even Japanese passerbys were reported to have stopped to observe the bustling scene. Some fans even arrived with pickets with the name of his character, Kangmin, written on them among other supportive messages.

Some of the more extreme fans followed the star all day long from the moment of his arrival to his activities like film sets in taxis or their own cars.

“I knew that he was popular in Japan, but I didn’t think that it would be to this extreme. This actually makes it all the more perfect, as he plays the role of a top Hallyu star in the drama. I really think that he was well cast,” an official from the drama said with a laugh.

Kim Hyung Jun also received a standing ovation while performing at the OST concert at the Pacific Hall in Tokyohama on November 26. Kim Hyung Jun will continue his activities for the drama back in Korea this week.
