On the 26th September, SUPER JUNIOR-D&E's (Donghae & Woonyuk) fifth mini-album '606' was released. This is the first album that Donghae and Woonyuk released after leaving SM Entertainment and transferring to ODE ENTERTAINMENT, and it is known that both members participated in the entire production process.
However, the title track 'GGB' became problematic soon after its title was released. This was because the expression 'GGB', which is loaded with a derogatory meaning for women, drew criticism for being anachronistic. In response, his agency explained that "the song 'GGB' is a song that expresses the feelings of nostalgia for a departed lover with cute lyrics about a closer relationship such as 'very beautiful GGB' and 'the rainbow we used to watch together'" and that "it was never intended to be used in a negative way".
Revealing that it was difficult to change the title as the album was already in the final stages of production, their agency issued a position that "after converging artists and diverse opinions, we decided to cancel all planned music programme activities".
Amidst the noise surrounding the title before its release, everyone's attention was focused on how the expression 'GGB' would be used. However, the song's lyrics were again called into question shortly after its release. Unlike the song's explanation that it was never intended to be used in a negative way, the double meaning of the lyrics 'GGB like a rainbow' raised eyebrows.
In addition, it has been pointed out that the expression 'GGB' had to be dared to be chosen. In this situation, it was reported that Woonyeok will appear on the MBC variety programme 'Radio Star' today (27th) to reveal his feelings on the 'GGB' song title issue.
Will 'SUPER JUNIOR-D&E' be able to convince listeners about the 'GGB' issue? Their words are attracting attention as the enter full-fledged comeback activities.
