After being released, FEARNOTs have theorized on which scene got LE SSERAFIM's "EASY" music video banned by KBS.
Here's what they think.
LE SSERAFIM's 'EASY' MV Banned by KBS Due to Kim Chaewon's 'Hair Dryer' Scene According to FEARNOTs
Earlier on February 15, KBS banned the music video for LE SSERAFIM's "EASY," creating a whirlwind of frustration across social media. According to the broadcasting organization, the reason for banning was due to "Risk of Imitation."
Fans concluded that "Risk of Imitation" was implemented since the MV would showcase signs of risky behavior, which could be emulated by viewers.
They also recalled the MV's description of displaying LE SSERAFIM's hidden struggles, which led them to think that the video would somehow present dangerous acts one way or another. While KBS banning content isn't new, most fans still drew negative reactions to the prohibition.
The music video for "EASY" was deemed ineligible for broadcast by KBS due to risk of imitation (possibly of people, especially kids, copying what's on the video)

This is why non Kpop fans just see Kpop idols as a product because whenever an artist tries to be relatable and talk about their everyday feelings and struggles as idols ,they get stopped immediately.
Because this excuse is not excusing . https://t.co/VvhQ7LMJON— ✨Rosalit ✨ (@yunjin_doll) February 15, 2024

On February 19, the MV for "EASY" was finally released by LE SSERAFIM, causing a frenzy among eager FEARNOTs. Shortly after its release, fans began to speculate which scene was to blame for the sudden banning.
On social media platform X (Twitter), the majority of FEARNOTs seem to think that leader Kim Chaewon's hair dryer scene was the culprit.
At the MV's 1:46 mark, the scene showed Chaewon lying in a bathtub while singing the song. However, a hair dryer was suddenly dropped into the water, which could trigger a fatal electric shock due to mixing both water and electricity.
