That wouldn't maybe be that bad of an idea—not because of the music or the performers, but because of the inhumane conditions and abuse the performers are forced to endure in this business. I mean, many countries have banned unethical products like foie gras, ivory, trade of exotic pets and endangered animals etc.

Taking a stance of not allowing an industry's products into the country unless the industry stops unethical and damaging practices, or banning unethical products and industries completely no matter how they're sourced, can be quite effective for reducing suffering and harm.

If Turkey were to ban Kpop, Manga, games, or any other entertainment industry known for abuse and brutal conditions, it certainly wouldn't be because they care about the treatment of those employed in those industries.
