The long and successful career of some idols and groups is full of mistakes and learnings, and this is part of the growth of an artist. For that reason, here you can check out these 4 K-Pop MVs that were removed from YouTube and why.
1. ‘Hate Rodrigo‘ by Yena: This MV was taken to private by the video platform and then public again for using Olivia Rodigo’s face and some of her song names without her permission, leading to a request from the American singer’s management.
2. ‘Lovesick Girls‘ by BLACKPINK: The video of the famous girlgroup was removed due to a Jennie scene wearing a nurse outfit, which was said to be disrespectful as it promoted the ‘sexualization’ of the job. After it was edited, the platform reuploaded it.
3. ‘Happiness‘ by Red Velvet: This music video was deleted by YouTube due to contained scenes alluded to the Hiroshima atomic bombing and the September 11 terrorist attacks receiving a quick response from the agency and an edited new version of the MV.
4. ‘How You Like That‘ by BLACKPINK: Lisa’s part of the MV used to have a prop of a Hindu God on the ground, which generated great disgust, making the platform delete the video and leading the company to edit this part and reupload without the prop.
