Yet, on April 24, when it came to the song’s being able to be broadcasted, while all the tracks were fine, netizens noticed that “LALALI” was banned from being broadcast due to “lyrics that hinder the use of appropriate language, such as indiscriminate foreign words.”

Yet, while most fans would be angry that a song was banned by KBS, it couldn’t be more different for CARATs. When the news was released, most couldn’t hide their excitement because, while it wasn’t explicitly specific about the language in the songs, most fans assumed that the song might have curse words and for once, they wouldn’t be censored out.

and what if hhu curse in the song what if coups says ‘LALAFUCKINGLI' and the beat drops and vernon does a flip and mingyu starts belting high notes and wonwoo tears his shirt off https://t.co/THxSNJp3dW
