TVXQ has amended part of the lyrics for the title track of their repackaged album “Before You Go.”
On 16 March, “Before You Go” was released with the repacked version of “Why(Keep Your Head Down).” However, TVXQ had to amend the lyrics specifically for the MBC performances only. For the portion of the lyrics that said “The stupid fool that couldn’t even protect you,” “Stupid Fool” was amended to “Foolish me.”
With regards to this, a representative from SM Entertainment said “Because MBC felt that the words “Stupid Fool” were inappropriate for broadcast, we have amended the lyrics to “Foolish me” instead,” and “KBS and SBS have no problems, so we plan to perform the original song,” they revealed.
An MBC representative explained that, “The broadcast standards prohibit the use of vulgar language, and the “Stupid fool” portion of “Before you go” contains a vulgar expression, so we deemed it unsuitable for broadcast.”
Even though the repackaged album was not out yet, “Before you go”, as expected, climbed to the top of the real time weekly sales chart “Hunter Chart,” which is calculated based on CD sales, showing the popularity of TVXQ.
(T/N: The lyric corrections were written in Japanese and therefore may not be the same as the actual Korean lyric.)
