Seoul’s media regulator said the music video, which has gone viral on TikTok since its debut in April, violates the country’s National Security Act.
“[The song] idolizes Kim Jong Un and praises and glorifies him,” Seoul’s Korea Communications Standards Commission stated on Monday.
The Security Act restricts access to the North’s government websites and media, as well as punishes regime-supporting actions and speeches.
The commission stated that 29 versions of the Friendly Father music video would be restricted, but did not provide details on how this would be accomplished.
