Controversy
According to KBS' music-review results on the February 4, 4minute's "Cut it Out" was banned for its use of slang. 4minute's agency Cube Entertainment rep told Star News, "Since 'Cut it Out' is a sub-track off their new album that they also plan to perform, we are in talks to request for a reconsideration."
