Instead of playing the digital version of the song, KBS accidentally played the CD version of "TOMBOY." This version of the song features several swear words.
Most notably, it does not censor the swear word in the pre-chorus, "I'm a f*ck*ng tomboy." The swear word is censored over with a "beep" sound in the digital version.
When "TOMBOY" was first released, both versions of "TOMBOY" were banned on KBS due to the station's broadcasting standards. The CD version featured swear words, while the digital version contained a brand name. To have it accepted by KBS, (G)I-DLE revised the lyrics three times.
