South Korea's GCRB Nearly Banned GTA 6 Over Excessive Male Genital Nudity

GTA 6 narrowly avoided a South Korean ban after a split rating board deemed its frequent male genital nudity "excessive" before ultimately granting an Adults Only rating.

Yesterday, the GCRB split 3-3 on the initial vote, with three members backing an Adults Only rating and three voting to refuse the game, citing frequent male genital nudity without sexual context as the main issue. One side argued that heavy exposure scenes were not particularly sexual and that sexual scenes limited exposure, urging a holistic judgment. After postponements and regulatory tweaks, a second vote saw eight members approve Adults Only while only one opposed, securing the rating.
