The Korea Communication Standards Commission have been very busy lately. They have recently placed restrictions on provocative music concepts, but this time the commission has its eye set on another culprit, the drama series “Reply 1994,” issuing the show with a caution for cursing.
In a rather belated decision, the KCSC issued a caution towards tvN’s for “Reply 1994” during its general meeting held on February 20. The caution was issued for the show for having aired a scene that showed the main cast swearing during a time slot that forbids such language being used (Handily called the Youth Safeguard Time Slot).
As for the actual episode that caused this caution, the KSCS states that it was during Episode 5 when Sam Cheon Po (Kim Sung Kyun) ate the snacks given to Yoon Jin (Do Hee) by Seo Taji. The scene then involved Yoon Jin strangling Sam Cheon Po, threatening him with scissors and cursing liberally at him. The other scenes that also contributed to this caution include a scene from Episode 13, where Joon Jin once again strangled and swore at Sam Cheon Po when she didn’t get her scholarship. Finally there was Episode 16 where Trash (Jung Woo) was fighting with Si Won (Eun Ji) about the volume of a song being played on a bus.
What do you think about these restrictions reaching dramas as well?
