Controversy over 4th Korean Album

In November 2008, the Commission of Youth Protection judged TVXQ's 4th album, Mirotic, as being detrimental to youths, declaring that the lyrics were provocative and overly sexual; as a result, the album was required to be labeled with stickers indicating that it was “unsuitable for people under 19 years old” and any performances of the song would have to be broadcast after 10 PM.[55]. In addition, the company was required to release a "clean" version of the song[56]. In response, SM Entertainment filed a legal case against the ruling to the District Court.

TVXQ's management company, SM Entertainment, has claimed that, "We will go through administrative measures against the suspension by filing a case next week to the District Court... We have been getting ready for this legal case on the 2nd [of December]."

"We have agreed to release a clean version of '주문-MIROTIC' by the administrative order, but this is something we do not agree with and feel [the ruling] is entirely unfair. Therefore we have decided to file a case to the court against the administration's disclosure."

After the Commission of Youth Protection released their statement regarding the ban on the album, SM Entertainment said, "Even before when the order had been put against MIROTIC, we have clearly negotiated and tried to explain the real meaning and explanation of the lyrics, but even after this the results came out unexpectedly and we are bewildered as of this moment... the 주문-MIROTIC's lyrical meaning is entirely different and miles away from the erotic or sexual that the association is making it to be." [57]

The clean version of the song contains the lyrics "I've got you/under my sky" as opposed to the original, "I've got you/under my skin," and "널 가졌어 (I got you)" to "널 택했어 (I chose you)"}}
