Lady Gaga is taking her Born This Way Ball to South Korea and some religious folks aren't giving her the warmest of welcomes.
Â
In advance of the first shows on Friday, 300 Protestants led a group prayer against the pop goddess -- they believe she promotes homosexuality and promiscuity. Another group called the Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality threw up posters around Seoul that accuse Gaga of "spreading unhealthy sexual culture" through "lewd lyrics and performances." The fliers have since been removed by government officials. See more of the Korean response to Gaga on the following pages.

Anti-Gaga posters have sprouted around Seoul in advance of the first shows on Friday.
Under pressure from conservative groups, Korean officials mandated that no one under age 18 can see Gaga's shows. In response, the star tweeted, "Although not affecting ticket sales in Seoul, parents should be given more credit to determine what's good for their children. I love my fans. Thank u to all the adults in Korea who are speaking out for underaged who want to come to the BTW Ball. Maybe the gov. will change their mind."
Gaga is a little too racy for this Korean anti-fan.
