Justin Bieber (Again)
Not only did Argentinian hotels ban Justin Bieber, but in 2017, the Canadian singer faced a more significant restriction when he was banned from an entire country—China. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture issued a statement explaining the decision, stating that while Justin Bieber was undoubtedly a talented singer, his reputation as a badly behaved entertainer was deemed unsuitable for the Chinese market. The authorities emphasized maintaining order in the Chinese performance environment and promoting a more purified entertainment atmosphere.
Considering the country’s immense financial market potential, the ban from China was a significant setback for Justin Bieber. His attempts to portray himself as a “bad boy” image may have unintentionally worked against him, leading to this consequential exclusion from such a crucial market.
