I'm sure America's vassal state is always 100% honest and reputable when it comes to reporting on the nature of it's communist, northern counterpart. I'm also sure South Korea's wildly conservative and deranged social structuring plays no role in this sort of 'reporting' either.
lol, I saw the thread this morning. So many people just accepting it without issue.
ok so i think the real reddit users in there were the ones being racist 'id rather die than listen to foreign music hyuk hyuk' and the ones rolling their eyes at the credulous belief of the story
everything else was astroturf. i need to believe this for my health
You’re probably not far off with how heavily that site is astroturfed. Their attitude on domestic politics, Russia, and Israel differ too much from the average person
Dude in the comments saying this is fake like most North Korean stories but goes on to say he's not defending the horrible regime???
These people are deeply unserious.
Executed for being cringe.
K-pop to me is like the musical equivalent of extremely over-processed cheese. It's so corporate I feel like I can hear the execs jacking it to CP in the background of every track.
From what I understand of the k-pop industry, most of those execs have been inside the artists themselves
Extreme music snob Kim Jong Un sounds like a funny bit
"ugh, I'm so sick of listening to Pavement"
I'm trying to think of who would be this Kim's Dennis Rodman lmao
Fantano?
I was thinking him or Robert Christgau, but I haven't really kept up with music in the past 5 years or so lol

Kim Jong Un is a massive Reveluv and his bias is Irene from Red Velvet
I hate that i understood this
I saw this on the front page of reddit and someone who said they don't believe this got called a tankie instantly lmao
Based if true
There have literally been kpop performances in the DPRK
