Obscene lyrics in SNSD’s “Gee”?

A video of a man claiming that he can hear obscene messages when popular girl group SNSD’s “Gee” is played backwards has become highly controversial.

On the 4th, a famous community site uploaded a video of the song with the title “Gee Backward Masking” on Youtube. The video features a lecture on Christianity titled “The Truth of the Media“ by someone who appears to be a missionary.

The man plays the song with backwards, slowing it down by 80% and with captions outlining the obscene message in question.

He explains, “When this song first came out, I thought that it was a good song and listened to it many times. However, I soon found the reason why when I flipped the song over. It was the obscenity in me that responded to the song. SNSD, of course, does not know this. The composer that produced this song did this purposely.”

He then moved on to Son Dambi’s song, stating, “Son Dambi is Christian but her song is produced by Brave Brothers. When you backward mask Son Dambi’s song, the lyrics become so dirty that I cannot even bear mouthing them. It’s disgusting, but she doesn’t know.”

The speaker concluded with, “All media contents are the results of inspiration, which is why we react to them even if we don’t consciously.”

Netizens that came across the video left comments such as, “I have no idea what he’s talking about. That person just thinks about those kinds of nasty things all day,” and “Of course it sounds weird when you play a song backwards. He’s just forcefully trying to fit things in where they don’t belong.”
