JAKARTA, Indonesia — A television ad featuring members of K-pop supergroup Blackpink dressed in miniskirts has been banned from Indonesian airwaves, prompting a furious backlash from fans. The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission ordered 11 domestic TV stations to yank the commercial late Tuesday, saying it was indecent. The decision to ban the ad was widely panned by Blackpink fans in Indonesia. "This is too much -- you can see women dressed that way in any mall in Indonesia," Disna Harvens told AFP. Blackpink has quickly become a household name at home and among K-pop fans overseas with their signature hip hop-infused music, impeccably choreographed dance routines and edgy fashion styles.
