Yeah imagine getting used to performing with lively fanchants, cute lightsticks all that and now you have to perform in one of deadliest country and your audience were just. dead silent
@GODDESS your lucky I don't like to r/woooosh people. The /s stands for sarcasm most likely didn't not die from smiling that is just a joke on how strict N Korea is
Im actually curious what red velvet and seohyun's parents reactions were when they told them "ah mom and dad, im going north korea to perform as part of the peace concert" xPP seriously though as if their parents wouldve let them go so easily (even though this is mostly in SM anyway)
I see a lot of people here don't seem to understand why the audience is like this - I am from Bulgaria, an ex communist country, where by the way our "leader" wasn't nearly as bad as theirs, and still, people were being watched - what they say, how they react, etc, etc. Anything could be reported to the government, and you can be punished accordingly. These people here in the audience are not reacting out of FEAR - they live in a country where they can be punished / executed over anything. It's sad. They're expressionless because they don't have a choice and they'd rather not risk being seen reacting to something that might be later deemed inappropriate or against the country's morals. This is how their lives are, it has nothing to do with how Red Velvet did or what they think of that.
To some people who talks bad about the reactions of North Korean. Here is the reason. North Korea is so much different than South Korea. NK and SK used to separated and not as one country that's why they have different presidents. North Korea are not used to things like artists and all about performances like this. Their discipline is so much stricter than those South Korea that's why they didn't scream and instead only clapping. Try go to NK and shouts when you watch artists performing and see what will NK do to you.
LOL. South and North Korea are basically the same culture, except separated by 65 years. The way this audience acts is exactly how the old generation of South Koreans would act if they attended a K-pop performance today. That is to say, mainstream North Korean society is a carbon copy of how South Korea used to be in the 1960s-'70s -- i.e., regimented, militaristic, disciplined, reserved, stoic and isolated from the rest of the world. After South Korea became more prosperous starting in the mid-80s and democratized starting in the early '90s, South Korea started relaxing and becoming more open to other countries, foreign travel, and less rigid and militaristic. This only happened as result of economic, political and social breakthroughs happening in South Korea all around the early '90s. This hasn't happened in North Korea yet, so they're still acting like it's the 1960s Cold War era, which b/c of the U.S., is very much true.
It is not even slightly connected to discipline god damn it. SK is very disciplined too cause SK was ruled by dictators most of the time and so what? These nkreans just too adult for these childish songs...
Its North korea for goodness sake, the citizens have never experienced something like this ,they have never heard this song or this type of music. what do u all expect them to do??? They r gonna give thier full attention to them and focus bc it most likely they arent gonna see or hear music outside of Nk and the seating is a formal setting not a legit concert and plus with kim jong un watching too its better to sit in their seats and watch instead of screaming and going wild like how how fans would do at a normal concert
And actually what you said is not completly true. They actually know a lot about Kpop, Kdramas and even about some american stuff. It gets smuggled all around the country. It totally illegal but a lot of people do it. Many years ago they didn't have any connections with south korea but now they have more possibilities. Oh and the audience was all upper class people since the workers (most people of the country) would never be allowed to be on that kind of thing. So 1. They definetly heard a lot about Kpop even if illegal since they can bribe to not be imprisoned or to have any other consequences and the upper class definetly has the means to do so. Also 2. They are probably supposed to react like that, since how said they're the upper class and can't make mistakes in front of Kim Jong Un to loose their status, I guess. I don't exactly know if all the things are completely right since probably nobody really knows that, but I got all these informations from the biography of a refugee who escaped from North Korea so I hope they are not completely wrong. (Sorry if I made any mistakes, english is not my native language, but I would actually be happy if you'd correct my mistakes😊)
You're definitely right! I myself have actually personally met a few North Korean refugees a few years ago and heard them talk about their own stories, and it's super common now for North Koreans (especially the younger generations) to regularly listen to South Korean media that's been smuggled in. There's a whole black market for it. And it's become so common that it's one of those things where like, basically everyone does it and everyone *knows* that everyone does it, but you still don't talk about it hahaha.
I think that the audience doesn't know how to react because they are forbidden to enjoy anything that belongs to the west, I am also sure that they are overwhelmed by the performance. just think of all the words that Red Velvet used which the north Koreans doesn't understand, so it's just understandable
it must have been so hard for them to perform, not only because they were so nervous, but also because they had to remember to cover joy's parts as well as sing their own, it's unfortunate that they couldn't be there as a full group. :(
seohyun performed a song of north korea, which is politically correct in the north. However, listening to pop songs from the south is a felony in normal situations.
Anyone who has ever done a stage performance knows how much of a difference the audience energy makes. If the audience is enjoying themselves, it hypes the performers up too. I can't imagine how insanely difficult it is to perform for an audience that looks at you like you're giving a lecture....
I think what might have helped is that they knew the audience didn't really mean it, they were told to stay impassive so it was not as if the audience didn't like it
me tooooooooo! I got so nervous watching this, I started to sweat... they probably were so nervous. If we felt uncomfortable watching this, imagine them...
Angribee well sk language is more Americanized or they use other modern term. While nk is just isolated. (Anyone please explain it more clearly please! 😂)
I don’t really know what you guys are expecting from the citizens of NORTH KOREA?? They’re not gonna do fanchants, they’re not gonna cheer, and they probably don’t feel like smiling since they realize they’re being broadcast and watched. There’s another comment down below that goes more in depth on how the audience is probably being very careful about their reactions because they’re constantly being watched, so y’all should try and read that before being so aggressive.
Carol We know but it still doesn't change the fact that it's still hard to watch If I ever become a performer and had to perform in a dead crowd I don't know what I would do maybe make so many mistakes or piss myself.Kudos to them must be twice as hard performing in front of Kim Jun un and to NK people. I came from PewDiePie lastest video btw
@@Kevser-o5r it's really hard performing with a silent audience. No difference from a black ocean. Give some credits to Red Velvet :D and ofc fans like to praise
Kudos to red velvet for being able to finish their performance without any errors esp from performing in an audience as stoic and reactionless like this. Idols and performers in general receive happiness, energy and love from the cheers of the audience, this could have been a scary and sad experience for them. So really. I salute red velvet!! 💕💖💯
Dude. The audience weren’t allowed to “show reaction” because for one, kpop isn’t allowed there! If the audience showed that they knew the song or something UM THEYD GET IN HUGE TROUBLE it’s forbidden there
@@KCM1 I can't believe so many people don't understand the severity of north korea. If the smile, they lose their life. I suppose kpop stans hate oppressed minorities.
I honestly don’t think it’s provocativeness I think it’s the fact the North Korea doesn’t want their people to see how much better music, choreo, hair, outfits are in the outside world and how much more free people are . this might increase defectors which isn’t what they want.
People have to understand that North koreans aren't used to this kind of music. They don't know k-pop, they don't know Red Velvet, they don't know the lyrics and - again - they aren't used to this. In other hand, they were very respectful, watching it and clappping in the end. It's going to take a long time to that people to get along with each other and understand about their costumes.
You are not wrong, these aspects could also contribute for their reaction, but I'm working more with facts and we know that both countries are separed for many years, so their cultural construction since they separated are quite different. North koreans aren't used to songs with english words on it or korean women dancing with shorts and make up, this is something very different from their reality. But, like I said, you're not wrong, the paranoia is constant, indeed.
Probably, but this is not a fact. Let's say that is true, then it's very correct for them to not react Red Velvet, since they are very deep into north korea's regime. If they reacted well to the south korea culture that would mean a serious treason.
This is scary unsettling, that cheerful stage and the dead silent audience in contrast... Pray North and South Korea can get together someday even if it's well past the day I die

Hi! I'm a ONCE and I'm proud of Red Velvet for doing a great job in NK. Fanwars between onces and reveluvs disappoint me. Hoping that someday those three fandoms (Once, Blinks, Reveluvs) will get along with each other without fighting, just full supporting. *sorry for my bad english*
At least they clap at the end, red velvet must be nervous, i'm also nervous watching this....you guys really make a good performance Red Velvet! Love you all !❤️
Im sure redvelvet understand why the audience didnt scream or ya know(Talking,Clapping,cheering) For them,Remember that theyre in NorthKorea. The audience loved their performance, you can tell right away when they started singing. 0:21 look at the woman's face, she seemed relax and loving the girls perform❤
The audience are expressionless😦😦 Though back in South Korea we fans would go out crazy!!!😂😂 Red velvet are so brave to face that Red velvet FIGHTING!!!!
hiii! no, the audience didn't find it boring. it's their cultural difference. in north korea, it is rude to disrupt or disturb the performance in any way: including cheering so loud and clapping while the performance is still going on :)
Patricia Danila they just don want to be rude. Cause it may disturb the performance. They like to watch it quietly and giving applause as an apreciation at the end while artist is not perform agaib
Them thinking: --''wow they're skins are so much covered than our girl band'' --''wHat is This??omg!! They are not in sync!!! is it okay?? did they forget the dance??'' --''how do they dance while singing??!!'' ..but i gotta say Red velvet is Fantabulous omgg I love them!!
It must feel so new to Red Velvet to perform to such quiet audience. It gives more tension. But then, well done for keeping the fresh performance despite the pressure. 😘
Wow.. I felt the tension as they were performing.. I'm a musician too and if the audience is unresponsive or stone faced it can be very unnerving... These girls are professionals.. Thank you ladies for your contribution to the peace effort! *hugz*
I admire the girls for giving their best and based on this video the reactions of the audience within the performance is understandable, ofc this kind of performance is new to them, (that's why Red Velvet are there to represent/show the kind of music of what idol groups make) like we can't expect them to clap throughout the performance. In my opinion instead of the audience being bored i think they are more on observing the performance.
By being quite, the North Koreans actually show respect to the performers. It's just how it is in North Korea. It doesn't mean that that they didn't like it.

No offense, how is that professional? Performing is Red Velvets Job. They expected that.
@@Kevser-o5r girl wtf???!
@@immia2140 ?
@@Kevser-o5r it's really hard performing with a silent audience. No difference from a black ocean. Give some credits to Red Velvet :D and ofc fans like to praise
@@Kevser-o5r very rude comment, you could never do what these brave ladies did.
Kudos to red velvet for being able to finish their performance without any errors esp from performing in an audience as stoic and reactionless like this. Idols and performers in general receive happiness, energy and love from the cheers of the audience, this could have been a scary and sad experience for them. So really. I salute red velvet!! 💕💖💯
theivydianne even more sad to know the audience probably enjoyed it a lot but they just can't react at all.showing any emotion is a crime there
Dude. The audience weren’t allowed to “show reaction” because for one, kpop isn’t allowed there! If the audience showed that they knew the song or something UM THEYD GET IN HUGE TROUBLE it’s forbidden there
@@KCM1 I can't believe so many people don't understand the severity of north korea. If the smile, they lose their life. I suppose kpop stans hate oppressed minorities.
Yeri: bet you wanna wanna dance like this.
NK: NO. but deep inside (YES PLEASE!!!!!)

I guess the audience were speechless at how stunning Red Velvet looked !?
it looks like they are not enjoying it but those people are literally fanchanting inside

right
겨우 그딴 드라마때문에 ㄷㄷ
WENDY LOOKS SO PRETTY
I can feel the audience wants to shout and party but they still need to follow the rules
You can tell they weren’t allowed to cheer or enjoy it.
They cheered for other performances
@@cptbob100 Were they North Korean or South Korean performances?
@@niseravaughan north korean performances, seohyun’s performance had a north korean song
I think they didnt know how to cheer while performing. I bet they were taught to clap after the act
i heard they cut red velvet’s perf in north korea broadcasts though :(
but why??
park sooyoung in fishnet, please step on my face its soo sad that NK people are like trapped
park sooyoung in fishnet, please step on my face yeah !
red velvet is too provocative so they cut broadcast. im like we are not in 80s guys -.-
I honestly don’t think it’s provocativeness I think it’s the fact the North Korea doesn’t want their people to see how much better music, choreo, hair, outfits are in the outside world and how much more free people are . this might increase defectors which isn’t what they want.
People have to understand that North koreans aren't used to this kind of music. They don't know k-pop, they don't know Red Velvet, they don't know the lyrics and - again - they aren't used to this. In other hand, they were very respectful, watching it and clappping in the end. It's going to take a long time to that people to get along with each other and understand about their costumes.
Not really........ its more like they don't dare to react or else there will be consequences..........
You are not wrong, these aspects could also contribute for their reaction, but I'm working more with facts and we know that both countries are separed for many years, so their cultural construction since they separated are quite different. North koreans aren't used to songs with english words on it or korean women dancing with shorts and make up, this is something very different from their reality. But, like I said, you're not wrong, the paranoia is constant, indeed.
Alessandro Silva the audience is only the elite and they might access kpop because they are powerful.
Probably, but this is not a fact. Let's say that is true, then it's very correct for them to not react Red Velvet, since they are very deep into north korea's regime. If they reacted well to the south korea culture that would mean a serious treason.
Alessandro Silva yes I agree. I think it could be possible though, say if they went abroad. Only the very powerful I mean :)
하진짜 조이없는거 아직도 아쉽다.

dont move challenge.

Its the try not to fangirl challenge
"Try to not fangirl/fanboy challenge"
They won
This is scary unsettling, that cheerful stage and the dead silent audience in contrast... Pray North and South Korea can get together someday even if it's well past the day I die
As long USA take control the world, that's not gonna happened.
I AM SO PROUD ♡♡

Hi! I'm a ONCE and I'm proud of Red Velvet for doing a great job in NK. Fanwars between onces and reveluvs disappoint me. Hoping that someday those three fandoms (Once, Blinks, Reveluvs) will get along with each other without fighting, just full supporting. *sorry for my bad english*
No one gives a shit what fan club you belong to. You can like whatever the hell you want.
ikr. i just don't understand why people need to say this shit to make a compliment about certain group.

At least they clap at the end, red velvet must be nervous, i'm also nervous watching this....you guys really make a good performance Red Velvet! Love you all !❤️
The audience even make me uncomfortable. Poor Red velvet... It's so hard try to go with rythem and still dancing when everyone looks like 🗿
When ur friends explaining how fun there spring break was and ur just there like:
Queen_ Namjoon
This comment deserves more likes tbh lmao.😂
Im sure redvelvet understand why the audience didnt scream or ya know(Talking,Clapping,cheering)
For them,Remember that theyre in NorthKorea.
The audience loved their performance, you can tell right away when they started singing.
0:21 look at the woman's face, she seemed relax and loving the girls perform❤
Red Velvet : **performs**
South Korea : *causes seismic earthquske cause of fan chanting*

I’m pretty sure they can’t show expression

@@revebangtan4204 I feel like crying for them
Imagine living a life like that
North Korea are students in class
Red Velvet are teachers
What they learn ,
How to be happy.
Red velvet : I wish you learn well.
Except the student can send teachers to jail if they wish.
The audience are expressionless😦😦
Though back in South Korea we fans would go out crazy!!!😂😂
Red velvet are so brave to face that
Red velvet FIGHTING!!!!
hiii! no, the audience didn't find it boring. it's their cultural difference. in north korea, it is rude to disrupt or disturb the performance in any way: including cheering so loud and clapping while the performance is still going on :)
Hiiii:)
Thanks for reminding me:)))
You are a great and understanding fan!!!:)
Patricia Danila they just don want to be rude. Cause it may disturb the performance. They like to watch it quietly and giving applause as an apreciation at the end while artist is not perform agaib
Them thinking:
--''wow they're skins are so much covered than our girl band''
--''wHat is This??omg!! They are not in sync!!! is it okay?? did they forget the dance??''
--''how do they dance while singing??!!''
..but i gotta say Red velvet is Fantabulous omgg I love them!!
I'm just glad they made it back to South Korea.. Kimjongun was really taking a liking for Irene... #scary
Im happy i could live long enough to see humans dancing for a robot audience!
Wth 😂😂😂😂😂
Pedro Guimaraes 😂😂😂😂😂
Someone in the crowd smiling.
KIM JONG UN: JAIL!!!!!!
He was in the crowd too
This is scarier than a black ocean😥
It must feel so new to Red Velvet to perform to such quiet audience. It gives more tension. But then, well done for keeping the fresh performance despite the pressure. 😘
someone in the audience probably has a red velvet album under their bed
that audience member is probably dead by now.
Good job rv! You got my respect...it must be hard to perform infront of them😥
Wow.. I felt the tension as they were performing.. I'm a musician too and if the audience is unresponsive or stone faced it can be very unnerving... These girls are professionals.. Thank you ladies for your contribution to the peace effort! *hugz*
Red Velvet is the bravest girl group in the world.
They performed in front of Kim Jong Un. The title of the song was "Bad boy". ;;;
their vocals 🔥🔥
Too bad Joy wasn't there
Zaza _ Why you think that??
Zaza _ Only Wendy and Seulgi sing in chorus and Wendy sing live in her part and Seulgi some part.
Pongsiri Bunsri i think this was preformed during the time of Joys drama recording so i think thats why she couldn't join in
because joys part of SM and is more popular than both (seulgi and wannie)
Joy shouldn't be there because she is too sexy, which is inappropriate
Debieron sentir mucha presión con todo ése silencio. Pero lo hicieron de maravilla aún sin la tercera vocal principal ❤🌸
Suzana K al ver un público tan activo quien no se hace pis del miedo jajajajaja.
Que paso porque no estaba Joy??
Naty Posta Porque Joy tenía agenda para su drama Tempted en ésas fechas, debido a eso no pudo acompañarlas.
Suzana K ahh me habia preocupado gracias :D
Yeri: bet you bet you wanna dance like this
The audience: Yes we are
I admire the girls for giving their best and based on this video the reactions of the audience within the performance is understandable, ofc this kind of performance is new to them, (that's why Red Velvet are there to represent/show the kind of music of what idol groups make) like we can't expect them to clap throughout the performance. In my opinion instead of the audience being bored i think they are more on observing the performance.
Maybe they just screamed internally
Kudos to redvelvet for performing with smile on their faces and kudos to the woman who smiled and hope she is well and safe
Red velvet saved their soul.

ugh i miss my girls ):
I've imagined Blackpink are singing and dancing " let's kill this love & dduu dduduu " and look what the reaction Nort Korean like : 👁👄👁
😭😭
that would never happen ,as much as i hate YG's management but they would never risk their artists' lives like this
By being quite, the North Koreans actually show respect to the performers. It's just how it is in North Korea. It doesn't mean that that they didn't like it.
K-Boo this, this comment need to be on the top.
they enjoy the song with their way (by keeping silence)
Your comment deserves to be on top 👍
This is so beautiful
Everyday I think about that lovely crowd
