The top-selling Korean hip hop group Epik High talks about social issues, the South Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism has tried to censor their songs. The Korea Times reported that the groups newest 27-track two-disc album has courted controversy because some lyrics deal with sexual crimes, war, education and religion. Despite the censorship the group is not willing to change their style. They use their music as a social change platform.

On November 1, 2001, the Ministry of Information and Communications of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) formally enacted an internet content rating system classifying gay and lesbian websites as "harmful media" and having these sites blocked. The claim this is to protect the youth. Exzone.com, the first and largest gay website in Korea, received a notice stating that if it does not immediately mark itself as a 'harmful site' and install filtering software to prevent youth access, he would be fined US$10,000 or be sentanced to two years' imprisonment.
