On August 25th, it was announced that SM Entertainment won their lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Originally, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family designated Jay's solo track, "내일은... (Another Day)," off of SM The Ballad's album as "hazardous media." The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family stated that the lyrics of "Another Day" contained references to alcohol that would be hazardous to youth who listened to the song. However, the Seoul Administrative Court ruled on August 23rd in favor of SM Entertainment.
Following SM Entertainment's lead, Cube Entertainment has also filed a lawsuit. BEAST originally released their ballad, "On Rainy Days," on May 11th as a digital single. "On Rainy Days" was also included on BEAST's first full length album, "Fiction And Fact," as the 8th track on the album.
On August 29th, Cube Entertainment revealed that they filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. On June 25th, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family deemed BEAST's "On Rainy Days" to be "hazardous media" to youth.
The decision was made by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family to ban "On Rainy Days" because they stated that the lyrics were harmful to youth who listened to the song. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family stated that the lyrics, "I am going to be drunk. I need to stop drinking," were promoting alcohol.
An official from Cube Entertainment stated, "BEAST's 'On Rainy Days' does contain a reference to alcohol in the middle of the lyrics. However, this reference to alcohol does not promote or beautify the concept of drinking or getting drunk. The lyrics containing alcohol are simply to portray the sad love story in the song, not to promoting drinking or alcohol."
The official from Cube Entertainment continued with, "The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has not banned songs with lyrics that are directly harmful to youth. Therefore, the banning of BEAST's 'On Rainy Dyas' for it's mention of alcohol is a violation of equality."
Songs like 10cm's "Americano" and 2PM's "Hands Up" have not been banned by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family even though the lyrics of the songs have obvious references to alcohol. For example, 2PM's "Hands Up" music video was filmed in a club and the song contains the lyrics, "Get your drinks up."
Cube Entertainment's CEO Hong Seongsung finished off the statement with, "We hope that they will continue to listen to the rest of the music industry in the future. The opinions of both fans and music industry professionals should be taken into consideration in the future."
