When they had to change Mirotic lyrics to "I got you under my sky" instead of "skin"

Quote

In November 2008, Korean Commission of Youth Protection ruled that the lyrics of "Mirotic" were provocative and overly sexual. As a result, the album was labeled indicating it was unsuitable for people under 19 and any performances of the song would have to be broadcast after 10pm.

In response to the ruling, SM Ent agreed to make a clean version but also had filed an injunction to overrule the commission's decision, asserting that the lyrics are "entirely different and miles away from the erotic or sexual that the association is making it to be."

The lyrics were changed from "I got you" to "I chose you" and "I got you under my skin" to "I got you under my sky." In March 2009, the Seoul Administrative Court ruled in favor of SM Entertainment, stating that the concerned lyrics "neither encouraged youth to have sex or described women as object for sex".

The following month, the Commission of Youth Protection announced they would appeal the ruling to a high court after having an emergency meeting and deeming that the phrase, "I got you under my skin", was inappropriate for minors.

I was confused in 2008 and I'm still confused in 2022. I guess it's true that no one is more perverted than the people whose job it is to censor things

Well-put!
