Korean Christian Groups Call to Ban Lady Gaga, "Pornographic" Show.
Christian groups in South Korea called on Friday for the pop star to cancel her concert there, saying it's "pornographic" and pro-homosexuality.
South Korea's government has already bowed to public pressure and banned people under 18 from attending, but certain protesters said that was not enough.
"Even adults can't see her performance which is too homosexual and pornographic," said Rev. Yoon Jung-hoon, organizer of "Civilians Network against the Lady Gaga Concert."
"Some people can simply accept this as another culture but its impact is huge beyond art and debases religions."
The singer's hit song "Born This Way" celebrates the empowerment of gay men and women, something that many in South Korea, which is the second most Christian country in Asia after the Philippines, say is an immoral lifestyle.
