adminmembers were to gather in downtown Seoul last night to hold a prayer against the concert in the capital, said Kang Ju-Hyun, a prayer organiser.
Kang, who leads a group called Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality, said other major church groups would join his campaign by holding protests around the Seoul headquarters of Hyundai Card, the concert organiser. The Korean Association of Church Communication vowed last month to take “concerted action to stop young people from being infected with homosexuality and pornography”.
Kang’s group last week put out street banners in Seoul accusing the eccentric singer of “spreading unhealthy sexual culture” through “lewd lyrics and performances”, before they were removed by the city officials.
South Koreans aged under 18 have been banned from the much-anticipated concert after it was rated unsuitable for younger audiences.
The show had an initial age rating of 12 and older but the Korea Media Rating Board — a state watchdog — adjusted it upwards.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is famous for the hit songs “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face”, and has become a strident voice for gay rights and anti-bullying campaigns. — AFP.
