North Korea’s latest propaganda song “Friendly Father” has proven to be an unexpected hit… on TikTok.
The pop-y propaganda has drawn praise from Gen Z users of the social media app, but experts say it hides something more sinister.
With lyrics including “Let’s sing Kim Jong Un, the great leader/ Let’s brag about Kim Jong Un, our friendly father”, the song is full of praise for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un - who has vowed to “thoroughly annihilate the US” and has launched dozens of ballistic missiles.

Congratulations, North Korea will gradually overcome all difficulties. The fence in North Korea is around the country, here in Brazil, which follows the English guide, the fences are in backyards, doors and windows. Brazil, which has always followed England, is a Western extermination camp with more murders annually than in wars. In Brazil, democracy is one of coercion, if you don't vote you lose your rights, it's mandatory and those who decide are mostly corrupt politicians. And they can't say that Brazil doesn't follow England, the media here are full of English and Yankees.

And at the same time, you'll say "we don't know anything about NK". All your assumption about the country and it's leader have been fed to you, and you have not questioned them either. In my country, they wouldn't call that "wise".
