Seung Ri Cleared to Perform Strong Baby on Music Bank
It was revealed that Seung Ri solo song Strong Baby which was deemed inappropriate earlier by KBS, has passed their re-examination following the change of a questionable word in the song lyrics by YG Entertainment.
In a statement from YG Entertainment, “After changing the questionable word in the lyrics, we then sent it back to them for re-examination and got a notice from them yesterday that it has been approved. Seung Ri will thus be able to perform Strong Baby for the first time on Music Bank with effect from 9th January.”
KBS had deemed that the crack word used in Strong Baby was referring to the drug, cocaine and proceeded to ban it from airing. YG Entertainment thus decided to change crack to clap instead and the song is now approved for playing on KBS now. There was however no such problems with MBC, SBS or Mnet where Seung Ri performed the original version of Strong Baby.

Big Bang’s member Seung Ri revealed his disappointment about changing the lyrics of his solo ‘Strong Baby.’
In the afternoon of the 8th, Seung Ri, whom we met at the waiting room of cable channel Mnet’s ‘MCountdown’ in Sang Ahm Dong, Seoul, expressed, “I am sad because I think that the freedom of the expression isn’t open.”
Seung Ri said, “The ‘crack’ in my lyrics was used as an onomatopoeic word to express a ‘boom’ or a sound of a dog barking,” and emphasized that “it was never intended to mean cocaine.”
Additionally he said, “We did change it, as much as it was pointed out, but I hope the criteria of deliberation will be reconsidered so that a more free expression can be portrayed.”
Seung Ri will come forth on broadcast after changing ‘crack’ to ‘clap,’ which means to clap.
