"War of Hormone" is a song by South Korean boy group BTS. The song was released on August 20, 2014. It is the third song featured in the album "Dark & Wild".
When “War of Hormone” was released, many people accused the song of being misogynistic, with lyrics that state “women are the best gift” and they should “wear high heels more often”. Netizens believed that the song was objectifying women.
On July 6, BigHit Entertainment posted on their official fancafe in response to the outcry:
“We recognized the controversy about misogynistic lyrics in BTS’s songs at the end of 2015. After reviewing the lyrics, we found that some of them could be perceived as misogynistic, regardless of the intentions of the creator, and could make some people uncomfortable.
The agency as well as all of BTS feel very apologetic towards all the fans who have may have felt uncomfortable from any lyrics or social network posts, and we will take the criticisms and the points in question into consideration for future works.
Through self review and discussion, we’ve learned that we can’t be free of societal prejudices and mistakes, as they are a part of each individual’s growth and experiences, things that are seen and learned in society.
We’ve also learned that defining a woman’s position or value in society from a man’s point of view could be wrong.
We feel heavily responsible for not being more careful with the production of BTS contents, and causing everyone so much worry. Please continue to watch BTS grow, and if you would continue to point out our shortcomings, we will continue to work hard, always listening to the words of our fans and society.”
