[NEWS] Injunction filed against Dimensions Entertainment in response to Gal.actic’s comeback

In the late evening of February 12, it was revealed through reports that a men’s group has filed an injunction against Dimensions Entertainment in response to girl group Gal.actic’s newest single “Be Ambitious”, which was released on January 31.

In their statement, the men’s group requested that the song be banned from further distribution, stating that the song “is harmful to men and women alike, as well as the nation’s youth, who may hear the song and its messages.” They went on to explain their opposition, stating, “Female idol group Gal.actic's new song “Be Ambitious” was released on January 31, 2019. The lyrics are implicitly sexual in nature and complain about a man not responding to a woman’s seduction and the attempts of the woman to seduce him by wearing a short skirt. This message is harmful to the youth of Korea and should be banned and removed from distribution immediately. In the music video, the members also laugh at men training in the army, which is a disturbing insult to the nation’s troops and damages the long-honored image of soldiers within the country.”

Dimensions Entertainment has responded to the injunction with a short statement: “The intentions of “Be Ambitious” and its music video do not align with the complaints issued. We are sorry to hear it has been interpreted in such a way.”

COMMENTS

[+1,981, -364] idols make bad songs with stupid mvs everyday so why are gal.actic the only ones having this kind of action taken against them?

[+1,645, -98] aren’t they supposed to perform in a special show for the army this week? ㅋㅋ oh no ㅋㅋ

[+1,230, -212] aren’t there bigger issues to worry about?

[+820, -499] the group is going too far. isn’t the song more degrading for the members themselves than men? gal.actic doesn’t have any of the pure charm of groups like wish anymore which is why they never hit it big

[+504, -59] why are they so bothered by a low budget mv by a has-been group?

[+328, -324] crybabies whining because they only want to look at women’s legs when they’re not invited to like creeps ㅋㅋ

[+208, -85] it should be illegal for dimensions to keep pushing their cheap image, but they can’t go back now

[+74, -65] they’re degrading the value of both women and men with this song

[+892, -58] it’s okay, girls. you’re pretty and your song is catchy. read nice comments only from now on

[+615, -23] i’d like to see the show champion pds and ceo choi film themselves reading their hate comments. surely there’s a lot more to hate on them for than there is to hate on six pretty girls for

[+414, -36] the comments they used were just mean. it might have been a funny segment if it weren’t so personal

[+208, -14] i bet they felt really hurt when the cameras stopped rolling...

[+125, -19] hasn’t gal.actic been through enough?

[+61, -47] this is the nicest i’ve ever seen comments be about gal.actic ㅋㅋㅋ excellent mediaplay, dimensions

[+30, -30] i can’t sympathize with them after their controversy with their last song, and in their new song, they’re wishing ill on an ex-boyfriend. they really seem like man-haters.

COMMENTS

[1,411, -39] i’m glad that’s all finally over. it was all media play for both sides.

[+921, -307] men who are saying they can’t be fans of gal.actic anymore weren’t fans of them in the first place ㅋㅋ

[+512, -104] if the members show they’ve learned and support the military now, they should be forgiven

[+425, -91] the men’s group shouldn’t have given in. as a member of the military, i can’t support gal.actic anymore

[+220, -35] dimensions is known for screwing up whenever things start looking up for them again... i hope alien gets out of there for good soon
