      Because in the Pyongyang you can work a relatively cushy office job and make enough money to not starve. Oddly enough it's the rural folk who have no money or food. They can't just move to Pyongyang tbough. To live in that city, you pretty much need permission from Kim Jong-Un.

      The Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble rendition of this song actually HAS theremins. And no its not an operatic performance, its obviously an old soviet synthesizer. Go listen to some old soviet synth pop and you’ll hear synths just like this inevitably. DPRK started out as a soviet republic and what you’re hearing is a soviet synthesizer. I can’t tell you which one but I’ve heard enough soviet music to say this is more reminiscent of their synthesizers than their operatic performances. It’s actually quite beautiful in my opinion
