KBS, the national broadcaster, declared (G)I-DLE's latest song "Wife" unsuitable for broadcasting in a report released on Wednesday, citing explicit lyrics as the reason.

The controversy surrounding "Wife" emerged promptly upon its release, with KBS deeming the lyrics highly suggestive and consequently unfit for broadcast.
In addition to "Wife," the B-side track "Rollie," slated for release on January 29 along with the album, also faced disapproval from KBS. The rejection was based on the song mentioning a specific brand name.
Neither (G)I-DLE nor its agency, Cube Entertainment, have issued comments or statements regarding the broadcasting decision.
(G)I-DLE, debuting in May 2018 under Cube Entertainment, consists of five members: Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Yuqi, and Shuhua. The group has delivered notable hits, including "Latata" (2018), "Tomboy" (2022), "Nxde" (2022), and "Queencard" (2023).
The impending release of (G)I-DLE's second full-length album, "2," on January 29 marks their first full-length album in nearly two years.
