Indonesia bans K-pop Group Blackpink Shopee commercial

A television ad featuring members of K-pop supergroup Blackpink dressed in miniskirts has been banned from Indonesian airwaves, prompting a furious backlash from fans. The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission ordered 11 domestic TV stations to yank the commercial late Tuesday, saying it was indecent. The order followed a petition signed by more than 100,000 people asking the commission to cancel the ad -- which in turn sparked a tit-for-tat campaign calling for the expulsion of the woman who launched the original petition. The ad features four members of the top-selling Korean girl band singing and dancing to promote Shopee, an Indonesian online retailer.
