Under 18 Have Been Banned From Lady Gaga's Concert In South Korea








South Koreans aged under 18 have been banned from attending an upcoming concert by US pop diva Lady Gaga after it was rated unsuitable for younger audiences, organisers said Friday. Lady Gaga will begin her third concert tour, “The Born This Way Ball”, on April 27 at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul.
The show had an initial age rating of 12 and older but the Korea Media Rating Board, a state watchdog, has adjusted it upwards, said event organiser Hyundai Card. “Our company will respect the board’s decision and refund all ticketholders younger than 18,” a Hyundai Card official told AFP, declining to be named.
Some religious groups in South Korea have opposed the concert, saying Lady Gaga has advocated homosexuality and performed in an explicitly immoral manner. Lady Gaga is expected to do 110 shows this year following on the success of her smash hit “Born This Way”.
