Comedic duo UV's You Se Yoon and Muji shared stories from copyright complaints to broadcast censorship behind-the-scenes, bringing laughter. An unexpected story of content deletion and a close-call censorship episode were revealed, drawing attention.
On the 27th, the YouTube content Zzanbro featured UV members You Se Yoon and Muji.
That day the two explained the background of UV's formation, saying, "We started it like a hobby. The mindset was to have fun without stress," conveying the group's freewheeling style.
At that moment, Shin Dong-yeob praised You Se Yoon, saying, "the person who foresaw the YouTube era 15 years ago," and You Se Yoon retorted, "Back then you were still reading paper newspapers," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
In particular, the two revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the deletion of a Bruno Mars parody video that once drew attention. You Se Yoon and Muji said, "We received a copyright infringement complaint on YouTube," and added, "I was puzzled because the revenue goes to the original artist but a complaint still came in." They then joked, "It seems Bruno Mars filed the complaint himself. He seems a little narrow-minded," which provoked loud laughter.
You Se Yoon also said, "Actually Anderson .Paak followed me first on social media so I followed back," and added, "I was secretly hoping for support, but it felt like the reply after the follow was a complaint," delivering a comic line that added to the laughter.
An episode related to broadcast censorship followed. You Se Yoon said, "We even shot a music video, but there were songs that failed to pass censorship because of specific words," and said UV's characteristic B-grade sensibility was halted at the broadcast gate several times. About one of their signature songs, "Sakurada," he said, "I thought it was caught because of the line 'there was a mole on the back,'" and recounted the absurd experience. The two explained, "Each broadcaster's censorship standards differ, so the results varied."
Shin Dong-yeob also recalled that when he appeared on SNL Korea in the past he often visited the censorship office, and agreed, "There were many cases of being misunderstood because of a single word or a single pronunciation."
Since their debut, UV has built a distinctive niche with parodies, satire, and inventive lyrics. On that broadcast too, the two turned copyright complaints and censorship into material for laughter, showcasing their unchanged wit.
