Psy praised by president - as state broadcaster bans his new video

Psy has been praised by South Korea's president - and slammed by its state broadcaster for his new song Gentleman. KBS television banned Gentleman's music video saying it could encourage antisocial behaviour. A KBS statement suggested the offending sequences in the video showed Psy jaywalking down an empty street and then kicking a traffic cone labelled "No Parking". KBS said the images might set a bad example to younger viewers and did not meet the standards set by the state broadcaster. The video ban came as President Park Geun-Hye favourably mentioned Psy during a meeting with policymakers in which she urged a "paradigm shift" from an economy based on manufacturing to one that embraced creativity. - AFP
