The planned performance by South Korean DJ"monk" NewJeansNim at Club Rich must not involve any elements associated with religion, be it in the attire, hand gestures, artefacts, songs and lyrics.
The man, who is not affiliated with the popular K-pop group NewJeans, is currently scheduled to perform his first show in Singapore at Club Rich on Jun 19 and Jun 20. “Given the nature of the planned performance, the act may be in violation of this condition,” said the police. “This would have been offensive to our Buddhist community. This is not acceptable,” he said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
“The rationale is very clear; we live in a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural society, we respect each other, and we take steps to protect our social cohesion. “The licence holder has assured the police that they will ensure that any performance staged will adhere to the licensing conditions, including ensuring that the performance will not involve any elements which is associated with religion.”"NewJeansNim is not a monk who should not put on monk's robe to perform, which is against Vinaya . Hopefully, relevant authorities able to reject the permits for performance so to avoid bringing embarrassment to Buddhists,” it said on Sunday.
