South Korean pop star Song Min Ho, also known as Mino, has been forced to apologise to the country's gynaecologists after offending them in a rap song

A South Korean pop star has been forced to apologise to the country's gynaecologists after using 'offensive' lyrics about the profession during a rap competition.

Song Min Ho, who is part of pop group Winner and goes by the stage name Mino, was taking part in TV programme Show Me The Money when he caused the offence.

Accusing him of insulting women and disrespecting their profession, the Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (KAOG) demanded an apology - which they have now received.

The row began while Mino was taking part in a freestyle rap section of the talent show, at one point using the lyric: ‘Mino targets all the daughters, spread (your legs) like you’re at the gynaecologist’.

While the judges on the show were apparently impressed with his performance, officials at KAOG were less enamored, issuing a complaint against the show.

According to an Inquisitr article, the complaint said: 'The Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists express our official stance regarding iSong Min Ho’s rap lyrics,heard in the July 10 airing of Show Me The Money.

'Not only did the lyrics sexually humiliate all women of Korea, but it also defamed Korean women’s health, as well as the 4,000 obstetrics and gynaecology doctors registered in our association.

'[These doctors] give medical examination and treatment around the clock for 365 days a year to take care of the health of women and babies that are Korea’s future.'

Mino quickly apologised to the association through his band Winner's Facebook page, but this did nothing to assuage the doctors.

Instead, they accused him of failing to apologise sincerely, and said that only a written apology from Mino, Mnet - the TV station which broadcast the show - and record label YG Entertainment.

According to Allkpop that apology has now been received by KAOG, though authorities are still not happy with Mino.

A second statement by KAOG said: 'This morning, Mnet, YG Entertainment, and Song Min Ho have each sent letters of apology.

'Mnet's production staff also called to tell us that everyone affiliated with the program will personally visit to apologize in person.

'YG Entertainment also called to ask if there are any further steps that they should take to remedy the situation.
