Yes, exactly! My heart just aches for them. Theater was one of my minors in university. You can tell just how much talent they have and how much work was put into doing this performance. So they have the wings, but aren't allowed to fly properly.

I hope to see this reality in my lifetime

Well in North Korea you better smile when the ones who are in control tell you to smile.

You telling me. East Asian are very smart (perform higher in IQ) and delligent in general.

No doubt similar to what comes out of South Korea... some of the highest quality entertainment in the world, Samsung, etc

They want to stay elite class and not go to slave class.

And they still won't get a meal

@@Steve_Trevorson I thought the ones that live in the city get good food?

Of The Dawn I'm not sure, but I don't think he even feeds his army why would he feed these folks

Yes, it seems pretty clear that when Kim appears and starts to lead the applause, the first person to stop is at grave risk.

Beautiful analogy

They are well educated

@@bobbi5782 well brainwashed. 😰

@@annw1984 let see who is brainwashed

Pretty sure they do know though, but just like caged birds for sale, what else can they do?

Just look at any satellite map of the Korean peninsula. Almost all of NK is blacked out, and the only light seen is Pyongyang.

The same thought occurred to me. Wherever the electricity was being diverted from to ensure that this "much ado about nothing" spectacle went ahead without incident, I'll guarantee that no power was diverted from illuminating all the outdoor statues and portraits nationwide.

I remember seeing an interview with Madeline Albright years ago and she was extremely uncomfortable that they put on this huge performance for them (visiting from the US) amidst a catastrophic famine. DPRK is all about image and never about the welfare of the actual citizens.

Most don't even know,..I dont imagine they have tvs, only elites. This is show for the world, not NK. Straight up Hunger Games

@@ellaroan5801 that’s why they love visitors so much. money for the government and a chance to show off, whether the tourists are ignorant enough to believe it all or not.

@@ClairesMyth Nah, it's not for the world, it's for the party elite.

The people that attended this event were the top 1% of nk so i doubt they've ever missed a meal

Yeah I felt the same way so very sad

Just another show to show off to his people they are the best, they think everything they do in that concert hall has never been done anywhere else..

I noticed that as well.

Have you seen when Red Velvet was in North Korea? Noone was interested lmfao

I was just happy they let them stop, I think Stalin would make all of them applaud and the first one to stop would get executed. Yet there are still people who long for those days. A personality cult is strong.

I disagree. It's actually decent quality.

" if technology was a thing in the 40's." I know what you meant, but let's remind ourselves that technology can be anything, from a stone axe to a cell phone.

They were able to film in the 40s it looks more like the 80s/90s tv

I know what you mean, and I see it too.

funnily enough i watched a show that used to air on bbc in the 60’s with my nan and grandad yesterday, and it was mind numbing. there was an 10 minute segment on flamenco dancers clapping.10 minutes. but people watched it, because there wasn’t much else to watch with there only being 2 channels. i bet that’s how the north koreans feel, the ones rich and favoured enough to have a tv are subjected to propaganda and weird broadcasts, but it’s all they’ve ever known and there isn’t much choice (that is legal, that is)

I know they do have songs about romance but they always hint at the country and socialism and blah blah. You should hear “whistle dprk” it’s a nice song

I personally HATE love/romance songs but I really gotta agree. (I’d really like to see their talent used for less cared-about topics tbh. Like enjoying food or having great friends or sth.)

@Sugar Free Anthems Please post the link of a North Korean love song. You must have seen somewhere to comment about it.

They’re spiritually blind is what you can say about them

They love their leader and sing about him, all other are in camp or dead.

English subtitles pls

Surely they’re all praises to dear leader and if we could understand what they’re saying, then we would feel just doubly heartbroken🥺😔😭 The performance and talents are superb😲💖🙏

The aggressive uniform clapping is giving me so much anxiety 😟

NK is driven by CCP, they won’t allow Korea people get freedom as the CCP use NK to be a safe territory to keep themselves to have more powerful to control whole world. CCP used to provided nuclear weapons to NK to threaden other countries so that they can make them selfeves stand out to be the #1 leadership of the world . CCP is actruly the most evil regime in the world . There were over 10% of innocent died abnormal of the whole population in China under CCP in past 70 years. Sad 🥵

Actually man, It is because of their government why they have that talent. It will corrupted once that country liberated.

Καλησπερα Στελιο το ποιο λυπηρο ειναι οτι ο Δυτικος κοσμος δεν κανει τιποτα για να τους σωσει

And these people are probably the higher class. This is as good as it gets.

They are force to do this

North koreans still lives in the past like dynasty era but they are wearing modurn cloths because all the governments actions id like the dynasty era where girls is to be given to the government and get married by 25

@Julius Caesar wow thanks I know I'm stupid so thanks I really did need to hear it from you Sir ☺️ thanks teach 👍

@Julius Caesar oh and life's not perfect for every person in this beautiful western nation.. I know i know almost impossible to believe but it's true 🤷

No, they're concentrating on doing everything right ... absolutely right ...

I always get this weird mix of 1960s (think sound of music) and 1980s from the cultural performaces.

Their culture will slowly lost once westerner influence them.

@@marklouie6550 totally. the only shame of them opening up is the risk of them being completely Americanised. but its dire in order to save the people of north korea.

@@adextrizon South Koreans are hardly “Americanized”. Asia is not affected by Western culture that much.

@@marklouie6550 well the opera and music Regimes they were doing all comes from the west. So your point being exactly?

Yeah because piano playing and tap dancing originated in North Korea.... Even the entire orchestra is the Western Classical orchestra. Nothing is traditional about any of this sycophantic display. Genuine North Korean history has been wiped out apparently.

@@marklouie6550 Are you ok? Look around. Many other free, democratic countries are doing this and much more!!

Are you all right? The deplorable country is the beacons in the hill the inventor of democracy and human rights” that oppresses a created mayhem in large part of the world it’s that your ideal country? NC it’s a peaceful country that felt the vicious and letal intervención that que killed millions

The North Korean people have so much to offer the world. They would be a much beloved nation if they were living free.

@@ellaroan5801 Like what? Other than manual labor, they can't do much. Science, medicine and everything else is way behind. They dont even know that Germany is back together.

@@DugeHick The people of NK must have immense strength and endurance to survive in this regime! Once free, they would likely be a great source of innovation in the world which benefits all of humanity.

@@arainaz10 unlikely. Once free it will be burden for south Korea, which in turn will be economic downfall. Just like Germany, east Germany was not starving and was well educated and still it tooк decades to recover.

@@DugeHick I mean their economy has been devastated by decades of evil dictators, but they have lots to offer. Unlike Americans who have become so modern that a ton have forgot how to do basic trade jobs, the North Korean people can work jobs that many countries can't. As for joining them to South Korea, I'd agree that would be a bad idea. It would be best if North Korea was free to be it's own country ruled by the consent of it's own people. There can still be a border, just not one a person is shot for crossing.

This loyalist population has it's Stockholm Syndrome too, dear leader treats them well enough to nurture that. Our famous have their "hard core" base who will love them even when they suck. Nobody pisses off their core group. Not too much.

I guess, they abuse any power they can get their hands on. It's really sad.

1 wrong note will get them executed.

Yes, the arts always seem to get high jacked in every culture and the more advanced the technology, the more aggressive it is. Probably the most powerful way to manipulate society.

It is because UN and US sanctioned their country.

Sorin May I ask where do you live now and at what age did you arrive there? I hope it was a move for the better

@@ronronniemeyers I'm still living in Romania, but the EU expamded to include my country in 2007. Since we gor rid of cryptofascism (that called itself "comunism", and fools belived it) and adopted social-democracy we evolved so much that our lives are very different. We stll have some problems, because of some bad decisions about the old ruling class, but last year was an election year and it looks like it was a turning point for the better.

I’m also having flashbacks from soviet Russia like every 5 minutes.. it’s freaky.

The people of Romania are to be congratulated on how they got rid of that monster Ceausescu and his wife. Best Christmas Day ever for Romania! I remember seeing on TV news here in distant Australia how the people publicly humiliated Ceausescu, and I remember feeling excited and hoping that it wouldn't result in one dictator just being replaced by another. If only the people of North Korea could see that news footage of how the ordinary people of Romania brought down their oppressor, causing him to retreat with a complete loss of face.

@@willpugh-calotte2199 there is also another lesson to be learnt from our experience. Ceausescu was followed by one of his friends, Ion Iliescu, that betrayed him to grab the power. He ruled for 8 years with declaring that we will implement "an original democracy". Even though the successor of the Communist Party was very high in the prefferences of voters (don't ask why), we started having other political parties and eventually one of them gave us a good president, but in Parliment the successor party almost always had majority (28 out of 30 years, until last year in November). At that time, Ceausescu and USSR were not in the best relations, with Ceausescu hating the new USSR glasnost and perestroyka policies. Iliescu went to the USSR embassy to request troups to invade Romania, to annex it to USSR (he wanted to make a sort of EU out of USSR). However, he was refused by Gorbachev (the then president of the USSR, who wanted to put USSR on a way to democracy and give the soviet republics the option to be independent, if they so wish). This refusal was Romania's blind luck. The same should happen with North Korea and China. Until China supports the Kims nothing good will happen to North Korea, even if Kim Jong Un dies. He will be replaced by some other China puppet ruler. Also, China becoming the most powerful economy of the World does not help North Korea in any way. This is my view on this situation.

If I was a dictator, I would make my imposter attend stuff like this. This is torture. Kim likes Snoop Dogg, and Dre.

The military parades would be cool though.

makes me think of how the imposters constantly have to be gaining weight to look like Kim

@Preston Smith there are plenty of fat elites in nk

Very valid point. The old guard behind Kim would kill him if they felt their miserable livelihood would be taken away from them.

can you send links or tell me about the documentaries? that sounds awful, gosh

Having "let's invade them and set them free" thought in the back of your mind?

@@DugeHick that's not what I'm saying

Oh cmon everything you see you think its propaganda

@Xinnie the Pooh In the US, homeless people get free food. In North Korea, they get nothing despite the "socialist paradise" that North Korea claims it is.

I agree with you

Probably the Dear Leader gave her permission to upload it to her KZfaq channel.

Activism, creating networks, tapping into existing networks, and doing what's right.

Vpns, the expanses of the internet past google

@@theangel7123 hahaha! Definitely

Go to the official North Korean websites, they upload it. Even though NK themselves have an intranet, you can still access their stuff through the normal www.

Suspect the translation would be rather monotonous

Ikr 🤨

nk uploads these shows on their websites like KCNA, uriminzokkiri, DPRK TODAY, arirangmeari etc.

You can watch North Korean TV live. KCNA is the best website to watch it from.

like most Entertainment worldwide. Hollywood is propaganda, same as this. the difference is they're obscenely paid .. money that could supply 10 families w/a lifetime of housing & food goes to a self absorbed wack job who acts or throws a ball. it's a distraction from our debt slavery. NK know it's fake. how many free people see the deception??

Yup, that’s socialism. In capitalism they always claim this doesn’t happen under socialism. Wellp, it does, with much, MUCH less money left for everyone else.

@@marialiyubman Exactly!

because it's like time is frozen there

That would be helpful

Sadly, the performers would not have been paid as much as Hollywood performers (probably some food to last the week?) So it might have been cheaper after all.

OMG real north korean troll O>O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember Kim went to school in Switzerland, he’s more Western than he allows his people to be.

I found it pretty ironic considering you can't find a much more quintessentially American instrument than the electric guitar: invented by an American, popularized by black jazz artists, and one of the primary sounds of 60s/70s counterculture. Talk about cognitive dissonance.

@@moonchildasmr1 Exactly

Lol "Californian" and "Texan" are languages!

ME2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can also watch North Korean TV via livestreams, like KCNA. I watch their TV frequently and there´s almost not a single day their propaganda doesn´t make me angry.

@@ARIES6181 why watch something that angers you?

@@urwrong1713 Because you have to sacrifice your nerves in order to learn something about DPRK

Hahaha

I believe so, the woman in black behind him looking almost like security?

bro forreal wtf

If they don't talk like that, they will be given the keys to Heaven or at least the afterlife
