Why are there so many North Korean supporters lmao.

Do these empty headed American reporters even know what these lyrics are? Some of them are traditional Korean folk songs. One is an anthem.. Ironically, this video itself is a western propaganda against Nk. Laughable

[zapfanzapfan]

A North Korean classic orchestra playing the theme from Rocky with images from the movie in the background... someone must be a big fan... Send Sly as ambassador! :-)

[hanak]

The Trump trolls are really out in force in the comments lmao

Mount Paektu was a national symbol since looong before the wars...

[lovelylychee]

HOLY SHIT. Can’t believe this is actually be covered.


Props.

Cause, the whole image element is relevant. Take the Winter Olympic cheerleaders.

Seriously though, that was RIDICULOUS.
They were all giving news updates on cheerleaders and not on who was UGH.


Okay sidenote, don’t hate. But all that said, she has the voice of an angel, not a fan of communism nor the way they do their music, but I have and always will adore her vocals. I don’t know what I’d think of her as a person, don’t know enough about her and I’ve tried to search more info, but I will always adore her voice.



Edit: sorry for the tangent, don’t even know if my input is wholly relevant so ignore me to a degree maybe 😅

[ggresham]

[HaiNguyen-iibx]

Dang If North Korean Women are this Talented I'm going to surrender faster than a Frenchman !

[Splexsychiick]

These woman and men probably secured a better way of life for their families and loved ones. At least they look healthy and not half starved.

[franklyngisultura]

[aliffoncexsone]

US propaganda talking about NK propaganda. Cliche.

[rumahcahaya]

all of you here know that North Korea is not the only one that has nuclear weapons right? usa also have nuclear weapons, which have even been tested on the attack of nagasaki and hiroshima. Meanwhile, until today, north korea has never carried out a nuclear attack into any country 😪
