Lady Gaga will launch her hotly anticipated “Born This Way Ball” world tour Friday on an elaborate castle-like stage. And fans in Asia will be the first to see it.

But not everyone is looking forward to her performance.

AFP reports that conservative Christians in South Korea have banded together, accusing the pop singer of advocating homosexuality and pornography.

Nearly 300 Protestant church members met in Seoul Sunday to hold a group prayer against Friday’s concert.

Members of the group Alliance for Sound Culture in Sexuality put up posters in Seoul, accusing Gaga of “spreading unhealthy sexual culture” through “lewd lyrics and performances.” The fliers have since been removed by city officials, reports AFP.

The concert in Seoul has been banned for anyone under 18, a rule imposed by the Korea Media Rating Board. In early March. Lady Gaga reacted to the ban, tweeting, “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.”

The Edge of Glory singer is no stranger to controversy having previously admitted to taking cocaine, while in January Gaga said hungry dinner guests ended up ‘stoned’ after her culinary attempts took too long.

Her latest drugs reference came in a Twitter post following her arrival in Seoul, with Gaga telling her 23million followers: ‘Jet lag last night was like bad shrooms.

‘When my dad asked what that meant I told him it’s like being in a musical you don’t want to be in.’

The post is only likely to strengthen the resolve of protesters in South Korea, who have campaigned against the star’s concert in the country.
Conservative South Korean Christians have accused the US pop star of ‘advocating homosexuality and pornography’, while concert promoters were unable to dissuade the Korea Media Rating Board from banning under 18s from the upcoming gig.

Earlier this month Gaga had expressed disappointment that children would be prevented from coming to the concert, writing: ‘Thanku 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 Although not affecting ticketsales in Seoul, parents should be given more credit to determine whats good for their children. I love my fans.’

Gaga was seen flexing her muscles while using an electric drill to secure some floor panels to the 70,000 seat stadium.

The star enjoyed getting her hands dirty and mixing with her crew and tweeted a message to her fans along with the pictures.

She said: ‘I will do anything for my fans! Having fun with the stage crew guys, screwing on the runway. A Real Iron Maiden!’

Although Gaga was all smiles as she got her hands on some big tools, she chose not to wear any conventional overalls for her manual labor.

The multimillion pound selling artist stayed true to form in a pair of platform ankle boots which she teamed with a pair of fishnet tights.

The goal is to create a one-stop shop for everything Gaga. Fans will be able to download her music, buy tickets for her shows and chat with each other (and even, perhaps, with the singer herself). It will feature “social ticketing”, which will make it easy for fans to find concert seats near their friends and even start conversations beforehand with strangers they will be sitting with. Translation software will allow fans without a language in common to chat about changing the world one sequin at a time.

Lady Gaga leads a pack of singers trailing behind her in Twitter follower numbers. As long as Google continues to limit social media on Youtube, to push its Circles, music fans will have little choice but to use Twitter. Behind Lady Gaga with 18 million + followers is Justin Bieber. Averaging 15 million + followers each, are Katy Perry, Shakira and Rihanna. While musicians may be dominating Twitter, reality stars will do everything they can to get attention, including fake weddings, so a platform to stay in the limelight can hardly be ignored. Close behind the singers is the queen of real-life drama, Kim Kardashian. She earns the unique distinction of being the 6th most followed user on Twitter.

“Im sort of obsessed with these little cuties: The OMG Girlz. I just want comb their hair and tie bows in it all day!!!” Gaga — the most followed celebrity on Twitter — tweeted to her 20 million plus fans, giving the OMG Girlz a MAJOR boost in popularity.

“Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time,” Gaga said during one portion of the program. “No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, ‘Did you hear about… ‘I shut it all off,” she continued, going on to reveal that when it comes to following all the Gaga-related headlines and tweets and “Who Wore it Best” galleries she generates, “I don’t read a damn thing.”

One example: at the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards last June, Gaga was one of the few A-list guests to visit the backstage press room, taking a few minutes to speak with the gathered reporters.

“I would say the press is your friend and it’s all an art form,” she told the crowd, explaining why she wanted to take questions that night. “You choose what the public views and what the public sees of you and I believe that I’m private and public at all times and it’s part of who I am, I live halfway between reality and fantasy and I love theatre, so you should be friends with the press.”
