BoA, DBSK, etc will not be appearing on KBS Music Bank indefinitely after SM Entertainment was served with a notice from KBS this month. This apparently was because of DBSK's no-show at KBS Gayo Daechuk last year.
DBSK was in Japan for the final 2 days of 2008 as they had to attend the TBS Japan Record Awards and the 59th Kohaku Uta Gassen 2008 respectively and thus couldn’t attend KBS and MBC gayo festivals. But in the process, there was a breakdown in communications between SM Entertainment and KBS resulting in SHINee, Super Junior, etc. missing KBS Gayo Daechuk as well.
Competition was fierce to get singers to appear at the year-end gayo festivals for the 3 respective major broadcasters SBS, KBS and MBC. KBS was probably incensed to see BoA and DBSK appearing at Festival S (SBS Gayo Festival) but not appearing at theirs. As a form of punishment, KBS has thus decided to prohibit SM artists from appearing on Music Bank indefinitely.
The worst-hit SM artists at the moment must be So Nyeo Shi Dae who made their comeback recently with their Gee mini-album. They were originally scheduled to make a grand comeback on Music Bank on January 9th, but it was shelved at the very last moment on January 8th and the girls had to make their comeback a day later instead on Music Core. The girls are already handicapped by SM Entertainment problems with Mnet (rumors put it that it was because of DBSK failing to win major awards at MKMF) resulting in the no-shows on M! Countdown, leaving them with only Music Core and Inkigayo.
The ban was initially dismissed by SM Entertainment who said that the girls wanted more time to prepare and so their Music Bank comeback was delayed to January 16th. But it was strange that they would say that since it was only a day later before they would appear on Music Core. However fans didn’t make a fuss over it since SHINee was on the January 9th episode of Music Bank, but after seeing SHINee and So Nyeo Shi Dae missing from the January 16th Music Bank line-up, the ban looks like it’s being enforced by KBS.
In an interview with a Music Bank PD: “Currently, SM Entertainment artists are only barred from appearing on KBS Music Bank. It will not affect their appearances on other shows on the KBS network. The ban is indefinite.”
There were also talks that Tae Yeon of So Nyeo Shi Dae was actually considered by KBS to take over from the outgoing Seo In Young as the MC of Music Bank. But the ban effectively puts an end to that and announcer Park Eun Young will take over Seo In Young instead from today’s episode onwards.

Note: I wasn't sure where to put this...it kinda affected like, every group, but I guess DBSK had a bit more info...idk. This sucks guys. Oh and btw, I'm pretty sure "Barred" is like, another word for "Banned?" English nerds, help me out here.
