|description_of_incident=The South Korean Military banned the famous Korean folk song from its military base from being sung in their karaoke rooms because they thought the song would lower soldier morale as it was once sung by North Korean artists. The military also said the song was sad and too depressing. Versions sung by South Korean artists are not banned, however, such as versions sung by SG Wannabe. In the past, bans like this were questioned but upheld in the end. In a case where the Defense Ministry banned 23 book, the Constitutional Court of South Korea "said intent behind the ban is just and the scope of the ban appropriate as it '...seriously undermine the spiritual strength of the soldiers"(YonHap News). | |description_of_incident=The South Korean Military banned the famous Korean folk song from its military base from being sung in their karaoke rooms because they thought the song would lower soldier morale as it was once sung by North Korean artists.
