South Korean network KBS have banned Psy's 'Gentleman' video from being shown, due to the abuse of public property shown at the start of the clip.

The video shows Psy indulging in a lot of ungentlemanly behaviour, but the action that KBS took issue with is at the start of the clip, which shows Psy kicking a traffic cone labelled 'no parking' and laughing as he points to the camera.

The company released a press statement saying that the scene does not meet their high public standards as a broadcaster, and that they have decided to discontinue showing the video as "infants or children haven't fully developed a standard for judgment and tend to believe and follow what's shown on television."

This is apparently not the first time that they have banned a video for similar reasons, although it does seem odd that the traffic cone is the behaviour that they take issue with.


The moment that Psy ensured his video would not be shown on KBS

Other scenes in the video show Psy kicking a group of children's football away from them, pulling off a lady's bikini top, and removing someone's chair as they're about to sit down.

'Gentleman' currently has 160 million views after being online for just six days. However, Psy did recently tell the Daily Mail that he wasn't desperately trying to achieve another viral hit with 'Gentleman'.

He said: "I gained international fame almost by accident but that does not mean that I will make desperate efforts to maintain that global popularity. I will just continue to do what I have been doing for all these years. If it satisfies people's appetite it will. If not, it won't."
