"they must have a gun pointed at them telling them not to like K-pop"
"The south gave up their independence for this?!"
"I don't think Unification is a good idea anymore"
It is, but under DPRK terms.
"What is this capitalist crap"
I had a similar reaction as well to be fair.
Mfw I have to be exposed to empty-headed western decadence on a daily basis. Mfing if I have to hear about a Kardashian one more fucking time...
And they claim they need to be oppressed by the north Korean government to stop them leaving the dprk when ths South Korean culture seems to be doing all of the heavy lifting. Sometimes propaganda just starts disproving itself...
Was it supposed to convince them to westernise or something?
All of them thinking: "Okay maybe reunification isn't such a good idea after all".
"yeah if I was thinking about leaving, this destroyed any notion"
Kim invited Red Velvet to perform because he's a huge fan
The true kpop is dprk songs, those are fucking bangers
When it comes to mindless mono-gendered pop ensembles, the DPRK continues to uphold Frankie Valli and the four seasons above all others.
Liberals: "If the North Koreans watch just a little bit of western culture, they will immediately want to destroy their evil government".
North Koreans: "Yeah.... This isn't for me."
They guy is totally like "Wtf i am seeing right now"
Understandable. That's my reaction seeing K-pop for the first time as well.
Edit : Here's a video of that event. It's even funnier than a single image.
LMAO all those guys in suits on a k-pop concert. Not to mention it was actually very tame and conservative for a k-pop.
They would enjoy more a classic concert.
Those people were clearly coming to see some kind of a high value southern art and arrived in their best for such an occasoon. Oh boy-oh boy, what a weird day that was for most of them.
I like kpop tho. North Koreans are based. Love that they try to be respectful and then clap intently at the end.
They were very respectful. There's a moment between songs where one of the women is out of breath, clearly nervous, and they just clap. Overall, pretty chill.
Thats nice at least. The artists try hard at their work, and I would like k-pop more if there wasn't the whole corporation-basically-owns-the-artist's-soul thing going on.
