Korean superstar PSY's newest music video, "Gentleman," has been banned in a TV network in his own country. State-funded KBS said that the music video is "inappropriate" for airing.

The music video is already considered a hit worldwide. However, back in its native country, the music video isn't welcome at all, at least by one TV station.

KBS ruled that it is "inappropriate" for air because it features a scene where the singer/rapper is scene kicking a traffic cone at the start of the video.

The network released a statement, which reads that its review standards "are different from the Internet, online broadcasters, or cable channels. This is because network TV is watched by everyone regardless of gender and age. Infants or children haven't fully developed a standard for judgment and tend to believe and follow what's shown on television."

For outsiders, the ruling is surprising since PSY had done a lot worse in the video than simply kicking a traffic cone. The 35-year-old singer is featured in the music video behaving very ungentlemanly, playing practical jokes on women, like pulling the chairs away as the women are about to sit down.

The ban doesn't seem to affect the video's popularity, though. It is quickly garnering views close to 200 million as of Monday.

Furthermore, PSY isn't new to bans. His first album "PSY from the PSYcho World!" which was released in 2001, was fined by the Asian government due to its "inappropriate content." His second album "Sa 2" also received complaints from civil groups due to its potentially negative influence on children.

Meanwhile, South Korean President Park Geun-Hye has commended the singer for setting an example against piracy. The hip-swinging dance moves featured on the music video were originally invented by the choreographers for girl band Brown Eyed Girls in 2009. He paid the choreographers to perform the dance moves as recognition for their creativity.

PSY's international breakthrough came in following the success of his single "Gangnam Style," which became the first YouTube video to reach a billion views. It has currently over 1.5 billion views on the video-sharing site.
