G-Dragon’s new song “HOME SWEET HOME” has been deemed ineligible for KBS broadcast.
Released on November 22, just a month after “POWER,” G-Dragon’s new song “HOME SWEET HOME” quickly gained popularity and topped several music charts. It also drew attention with features from his fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung.
The song conveys a message of returning to fans, described as “my happy home,” and reassures them they have never been abandoned.
On December 4, KBS ruled “HOME SWEET HOME” ineligible for broadcast. KBS explained that the decision was made due to its lyrics mentioning specific brands, such as Airbnb, which violates Article 46 of the broadcasting regulations that restrict advertising effects.
If a song is deemed ineligible, the artist can revise or remove the problematic parts and resubmit it for re-evaluation. The song can only air on KBS programs after receiving approval. If not re-evaluated, it will be barred from all KBS broadcasts including television and radio.
