XY That Girl, broadcast at midnight on KBS Joy, prompted protests from conservative groups who rallied outside the TV station and took out newspaper ads denouncing the show. The ads attacked KBS Joy for 'fanning' sexual diversity and warned 'children will blindly follow in the steps of transgenders', AFP reports.
Yesterday KBS Joy announced on the XY That Girl website that they were cancelling the show after 'taking viewers' opinions into account'.
