For the blur thing, I'm not a 100% sure but I guess it has to do with not showcasing dangerous things people/kids could try to re-enact. Everyone has a knife at home so a choreo like this can be easy for kids to copy and it can be dangerous. The guns on the other hand in a country where owning one is rare is a more abstract situation. It's as if they had a tank or a cannon on stage the chance for any young person to see it as "inspiration" and to be able to get their hands on a real gun is pretty much nonexistent. Im countries with strict gun laws knifes are considered the most dangerous weapons a civilian can have. And this show doesn't seem to be censoring violence just particular possible dangerous behaviours.
Totally understand this! Appreciate the intention they have with it, but I also think that wouldn't they raise the age of the show to alleviate this to some degree?
@@jess_holyfield mnet's K-pop content is mostly watched by older kids and teenagers so that would probably mess up their ratings, Korea is very strict on their broadcasting regulations so I don't think mnet wanted to risk a 16+ rating or even an 18+ one that could result in a drop in viewership (which was already pretty low)
