South Korean rapper G-Dragon is under investigation for a risque performance during which he allegedly feigned sexual intercourse with a female dancer, prosecutors said.

The 21-year-old star, a member of hip-hop group Big Bang, was questioned for 90 minutes by prosecuting authorities in Seoul, they said.

G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-Yong, allegedly mimed sexual intercourse with a female dancer in a bed during a concert in December. He also sang two X-rated songs before a crowd which included many under-age fans.

“I didn’t think I was conducting an obscene performance,” the singer was quoted as telling prosecutors. He also said he was not aware the two songs had been X-rated, meaning they cannot be performed in front of, or sold to, minors.

An obscene performance is punishable by a jail term of up to one year or five million won ($A4,938) in fines.

Prosecutors said they would decide in a week or two whether to press charges. (Source)

G-Dragon made it on Australia’s ninemsn news, but alas it’s not good news for G-Dragon and his fans! I haven’t seen this particular performance by GD so I can’t really make any judgements, but I’m sure there have been much more provocative performances in Korean entertainment. Jail? Really?! I didn’t know that South Korea has such strict laws… although I guess it’s in the best interests of minors who are so young, eager and easily influenced.  I personally feel indifferent having seen advertisements for “longer lasting…” you know what and of chicks with assets on the tellie and on billboards commuting to university everyday.  

The question really is whether you would allow your child or younger sibilings and their peers to watch anything remotely sexual or violent (see omgkpop) – although it may be a bit of a stretch, but for sake of discussion let’s not overlook underage pregnancy and crimes of passion. What are your views? Do you think G-Dragon’s performance was inappropriate? An oversight? A stunt? Should there have been age restriction/warning?
