[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Mnet's music entertainment program 'Good Girl: Who Robbed the Broadcasting Station?' (Good Girl) has been legally sanctioned for airing scenes with provocative lyrics and choreography during the youth protection viewing hours.

The Broadcasting Deliberation Subcommittee of the Korea Communications Standards Commission announced on the 25th that it reviewed 'Good Girl' at the meeting held on the 24th and decided on a legal sanction of 'warning.'

The committee pointed out, "Public media broadcasts should refrain from excessively highlighting obscene content that may cause sexual shame or discomfort, and especially when rebroadcasting during youth protection viewing hours, editing should be handled with greater care."

In the episode aired on the 19th of last month, 'Good Girl' broadcast provocative song lyrics and choreography during youth protection viewing hours that suggested sexual intercourse between men and women and ridiculed specific major body parts, sparking controversy.

Subsequently, Mnet moved the broadcast time from the original Thursday 9:30 PM to 11 PM starting from the 18th, considering the main audience.
