KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) is Korea’s oldest national radio and television station, with nearly 100 years of experience in broadcasting/television.
Therefore, the station’s censorship system is also very strict, not allowing disguised advertising in any form.
Mantra was released on October 11, marking Jennie’s solo comeback after 8 years.
Although not as popular as Rosé’s MV APT., this is still one of the notable K-pop MVs at the end of the year.
