KBS officially lifted the ban on Dal Shabet's title track "JOKER" after the group made changes on the lyrics to make it appropriate for broadcast. With this, the group has been given the go-signal to perform the song in music programs.

The reason behind KBS' initial ban against "JOKER" was that the lyrics were suggestive of physical intimacy between man and woman. The lyrics that elicited mature content have been changed. Happy Face Entertainment had submitted a new version of the song with modifications. From singing, "Hey Mr. Joker, why are you shaking me," the girls will now sing "Hey Mr. Joker, you're a bad boy." Also, instead of "It's getting hard to breath, so baby, good night," the lyrics have been changed to "Come a little closer baby tonight." The line "I want it" has been changed to "I love you".

The group will now be able to perform on "Music Bank" and other music shows. Moreover, Dal Shabet will have their comeback stage on April 24.
