As you can see, every single song in North Korea is a worship song for Kim dictatorship. Other Western songs are banned and people get jailed for listening to them.
So no Blueberry Faygo, Driver's License, Say So, Heather, Yummy, Dynamite, or anything else allowed to be streamed in North Korea? Got it!
I love you. :)
I heard that the girls were specific chosen by kim... but you cannot deny their talent, they are good at what they are doing...
But kim jon un listens to western song. Irony is he has banned common people to listen to the music.😂
They perform instrumental covers of well known songs from all over the world including France, Italy and Ireland. If you go to the Moranbong Band HD channel, you will find these videos, with the dates they were recorded. Many are from 2013.
I can't believe this is a real place on earth, it should only exist in anime.
Even dystopian places on anime is better
Kinda gives a "code geass" anime vibe. But they sound good
Yes, like the anime "the adventures of kim jong-un" from collegehumor on youtube.
+rickster4k Once the New World Order is fully implemented, what type of entertainment do YOU think you'll be watching? Get a clue, ricksteroo, it's going to be something very similar to what you just watched.
@@AshkenaziChristian you get a clue and don't be such an ass to everyone who comments random stuff on youtube because thats precisely the world you will live in, surrounded by people alike, if you're not already...
This just really scares me
Imagine if they made a mistake 😨
@JV Harbin yeah it’s so.. synchronized
High Stakes Song and Dance! Love it!
Reminds me of mormons.
@Ab Band Kim is a Thug.
One of them did at the beginning
They are super talented🤩 but i just wish they were free 😓
Same here 🥺
If they weren't talented they would probably be killed so yea I'm sure they are very talented.
Hope 'em flee to the South, much better life and opportunity for their talents.
@@SaifulIkram not really tbh they have an amazing life
They actually have more freedom than most of the toxic societies of our world.
Talk about faking the smiles, you can see the fear in their eyes.
Yes you can. So forced. They know if they screw up, their families pay the penalty:(
@@Komerican10 that the sad part
All the top Military Generals and Kim Jong Un are in this concert. I think the generals are scared too.
Hey Yeonmi Do you know their names

I can't imagine all the lavishness on these performances when literally the rest of their country are struggling in many ways
20살도 않된 애들이 빤쮸만 입고나오는것도 좀 바뀔때가 되지않았나? 한국도 좀 바뀔때가 됐눈지도ㅡ 4계절이 있는 나라에서 왜 수영복 패션으로 4계절을 버티는건지?
And how do you know, hell you are not even allowed in because they consider you trying to question their country's businesses, which is, in reality none of your business, to begin with.
Worry about own country shortcomings (and there some horrible ones) and try to wash your own soiled linen before poking your noses in some one else's laundry bags..
I'm in middle of online class but this is more important. Love u yeonmi.
Ohh I love you so much ☺️
After North Korea doesn’t have a dictatorship we need a diss track
ua-cam.com/video/FF-9qXpJ5kM/v-deo.html Vladimir putin diss track by void is right here
Made by the Moranbong band
0:54 Yankee Devils👀🧐😱 😳🤯🤣🤣😭😭😂😂
That would be a kinda funny thing to say but not in this case... 👀😐
They hate Americans because they are so brainwashed. It's sad that they don't know that most Americans don't hate them but feel sorry for them instead. 😥🙏
@@juliaj7939 they don’t hate Americans, they hate the American government. They don’t need or want your pity. They want independence and the right to live peacefully in their socialist country.
@@SerenaBrann But North Koreans don't even have a right to choose to live in their country or even what job or city they can live in. Socialist countries are so peaceful they have to stop their people from leaving.
@Nastasiya That's just the leftist media. 2 years ago, all you would hear on the news is "RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!" Most Americans don't hate Russia, in fact, there are many Russian-Americans, as well as Russian restaurants/shops in the US. Russian and American soldiers who meet each other in the Middle East also get along well. However, the hate and scrutiny towards Putin is justified.
These talented and beautiful women need freedom to show their skills to the rest of the world not to perform in front of the evil government
There will be a time of change and power ends.
Just like the USSR
They have expressed their deepest desire to be free. ua-cam.com/video/jYvcdhCbzJw/v-deo.html
Why do you want them to end up like the group of women "red velvet" of South Korea?, they only show a very sexual show, they do not know anything about music and the producers looking for the opportunity to sleep with one of them.
QUALE È IL.GOVERNO NON MALVAGIO?
GLI USA? LA KOREA HA MAI INVASO
GLI USA?
All I can say, it looks as though everyone is scared to make a mistake. Too perfect and stiff.
Because if they make a mistake they go to a labour camp.
Look at what happened to the DPRK's football team...
That's because they are 😂😅
Perfect? Did you even pay attention to the lyrics
@@leae3750 your right its beyond perfect.
I'm joking
I couldn't finish watching. It's so terribly sad humans have to suffer this dictatorship.
These girls don't suffer. They are the elite and probably live more carefree lives than most people in the West. I don't pity them at all. North Koreans suffer but not the ones in this room.
Respectfully I completely disagree. They lack even the most basic freedoms we take for granted.
@@kyriljordanov2086 they may not suffer as much as the lower class northkoreans but they are still suffering far more than even normal citizens around the world. For example logging onto social media and watching videos and listening to whatever music you like is still considered a crime even for them please dont judge without knowing what its like to be in a dictatorship as scary as northkorea. Do your research on not only the lowerclass suffering in north korea but all of them in general.
Ur so right it really sad and creepy
The lyrics are offensive too. If they wern’t translated I’d ignorantly like it.
I swear every smile is FORCED on their faces. It sounded like a military marching song, not just something to sing at leisure. Crazy Kim Jung Un. He needs to be gone immediately.
Yes, including the all make audience. They look miserable.
Agree. Very rehearsed, performing out of 😱 fear. Too bad. They are attractive and talented.
With him, you know you’re juggling knives. With her, you’re blindfolded and you don’t know what you’re juggling.
Nothing comes from heart
I don’t think the smiles are forced. They are proud of their country
I have been following this band for a while, sometimes they are playing on American Guitars (Fender Bass and Fender Stratocaster) very strange as North Korea's Kim calls US 'our biggest enemy' but they like playing on American guitars :-)
I would bet you anything they are Chinese knock-offs like the guitars on Aliexpress.
A lot of "enemy" stuff is used in North Korea... most of the time, they aren't aware where it's coming from. Anyway, I'm sure some double think is good enough to brush over the contradiction! ;-)
@@frossbog there is even a Roland Jupiter in that Performance.
The "guitar" didn't originate in "America-USA," dude, it originated in Spain!
Want to talk about that? 😃
The comment was Not about "the guitar" rather about the company "Fender" wich ist a American guitar manufacturer @@saigon68foxtrot83
It amazes me the amount of medals awarded to each officer for campaigns and wars never fought.
One also carries the medals earned by their fathers and grandfathers. So if one has a chestful of medals, that states that their grandfather was a war hero during the early days of the regime.
Okay but they're super pretty
This seems so surreal, like a caricature or something. Gut wrenching that it's real and these talented women don't have any other choice than to perform propaganda music....
If George Orwell had seen this he would have proclaimed himself a prophet!
It's so perfect that it makes me think that they are performing for their lives...
Oh! Something else. They have a song called “mother’s voice” but it’s all about the voice of the party.... 🤦🏻♀️
I hope one day these women can sing of the day the dictatorship of North Korea ends!!
Man these women are beautiful and talented!
Korea's Got Talent ?
Omfg its creepy af.
Sounds like a North Korea Worship Song.
Or North Korea Propaganda Song.
Lol, I wrote that comment before I read the pinned comment or read the lyrics.
I’ve just been watching a lot of News and documentaries about North Korea. This song sounds like the songs they’d play in them.
These girls are slowly becoming a favorite of mine.... Not for the lyrics praising NK but because they sound nice with their voices and have a beautiful backing band sound! Not like today’s pop full of heavy computerization. :) Thanks Yeonmi. There’s another channel posting just these girls’ videos.... Using their band name as the channel name... Wonder if it’s the country trying to get them to the world for propaganda.....
Yeonmi if you read this please inform me, what is the victory on July 27th they mention? Thanks!
It's the armistice day in the Korean war. What north Koreans call a victory (even though it was more like a draw, and the war technically isn't over).
That other channel is not affiliated with the band. If they were it probably would have been deleted by now considering most UA-cam channels based in North Korea are eventually deleted by UA-cam.
They clearly work hard at perfection and they achieve that. Yes, the lyrics are ham-fisted, but a stage full of pretty, talented, perfectly coifed and dressed girls performing is a compelling event!
So how do we get them smuggled out of NK🤔
The translation really puts those catchy tunes in the right perspective.
Sounds like the kind of stuff Napoleon from Animal Farm would like.
Wish we could free these ladies, very talented
One day, NK will be free, and we all gonna party here at a Moranbong Band's concert, where the girls can sing WHAT THEY REALLY WANT!
They are so talented, I'm sure that if we gave them the freedom to music, they will become one of the most famous band in the world.
A big hug from Italy, stay safe Yeonmi! 💙🇮🇹
What makes you think they don't want to sing what they are currently singing?
Lol i'm just wandering you really think they want to sing about fucking and money like western and south korean singers do? How stupid you must be
In my assessment of NK, these ladies are not the ones impacted. They have careers and little doubt are well taken care off. Like many professional entertainers and working Joe's in the free world, they have to serve the tastes of customers and managers. It's the other millions of NK people who must put up with government policies and unfriendly living conditions. And coming to a Western confederacy near you is a dictatorship who will seize control of all its governments and stealthily utilize the power of electronic intelligence to police and entangle every living person to follow upside-down new-ageism in the deception of world peace. In reality, there will be no world peace. The racist and political ideology of eastern communist countries won't vanish nor will western ideology. The evil inside of every human from birth still alive will be harvested like millions of little putins. Technology will be converted to weapons yet unimagined. Billions will die. You no longer need to be a Bible thumper or Jesus freak doomsdayist to see what in plain sight is coming. But you do need to admit peace is not in the scope of technology and human possibility and recieve Jesus as your own personal Savior. What is coming is way worse than WWII.
Thanks for including subtitles. Really appreciated.
You can actually there face that they arent smiling some fake smiling
@nick sweeney i said you can actually see there face that they arent smiling while others is fake smilling sorry i wasnt looking what i was typing
Greetings from: Rotterdam, Holland, EU, NATO/ OTAN!
Hello Yeonmi I’m a huge admirer from Japan 🇯🇵. As a Japanese it pains so much to witness this brainwashing from the bottom of my heart because this is similar to what we had here in Japan during the WW2. The only difference is the economic system, Japanese citizens had the freedom to pursue economic interests. Freeing North Korea (and the unification of Korea) and freeing our fellow Japanese kidnap victims is something I wish would happen soon in the near future and I hope to play a small part by supporting your activities. Take care and keep up the great work!
Do you remember what your imperialist government did to the entire Asia during the WW2? They have such a government because of the countless invasions and genocides by Japan, stop your crocodile tears as they will never forget!
Such a beautiful prison.
Well put.
Watching this, I can’t help thinking what their personal lives are like and if any of them really truly believe in what they are singing about. Are they in this band by choice or don’t they have any other options?
I’m pretty sure they’re forced to be in this band
I suspect that they get married off to high Party officials as trophies... but, I wouldn't put it past the bounds of probability that they get used as sexual servants first...
Placed in an impossible position it is very human to make the best of it that you can. I know I would.
@Gusli Kokle don't use the word "communism" if you don't even know what it means.
You must understand they are indoctrinated since they could talk, this is all they know. Praise for dear leader. They have no other choice and absolutely no contact with the outside world or media. They know nothing about the world outside of North Korea. That's a Fact !
This was absolutely beautiful
If these girls were allowed to sing like south korean idols, trust me they can even beat blackpink too
Superb Group of Wonderfully Talented Ladies - They ALL need to Go on Tour, And Defect!
Very sad they don't know the truth...
Oh I'm sure they do. It's too dangerous to show it.
they know , theull just disappear if they oppose it
So beautiful and talented singers... A warm salute from Italy to all North Korean comrades!
Love you so much. Keep speaking up. You’re doing God’s work! God bless, I wish you the best of luck and success in life. ❤️
I’m glad and proud that you still promote your ppls work even under terrible oppression. This music is worth hearing, being enjoyed and appreciated. The lives dedicated to this is just wow. These are literally next to perfect musicians! Thanks for sharing also glad to have you safe over here 🇺🇸🇰🇵
HAHA IK FIRST hello yeonmin!
MY MOST IMPORTANT LIFE GOALS- (1) become a k-pop trainee
(2) save and help North Koreans from that bully bull
it feels like I'm in the past, in the Soviet Union - it's amazing how similar everything is
Thank you, Yeonmi unnie, for existing!
love and best wishes from India💕🇮🇳
Its crazy how much money and effort is clearly spent on this song when most of the country still does not have food.
Charming! Brings back all those fine memories of our glorious victory of 27th July... or whenever the hell it was.
The duck sound makes the song worth listening to
Very talented and gorgeous women also love their outfits.
Those women are great artists and it must be so frustrating not getting an honest feedback from the audience. I have been to dinners like that and never ever was everyone paying attention like that: perfect posture, looking straight, constantly clapping. People talk, eat, slouch, look at their smartphones...
Truly stunning ladies.... I'm not surprised they are locked away!
So much extravagence and yet I would bet less than 1 mile away from this concert are people starving.
Craziest place in the world, yet some of the most beautiful and amazing people on this planet
Truly disgusting that some "people" would do this horrible thing.
When the memes realign in meaning
Somehow, I cannot see a world tour in their future.
They seem so happy and joyous and innocent. They have no idea the world outside of them has so much to offer. Poor ladies.
George Orwell wrote a musical!!
The song is great as always.. and sad for the same reason. Such a good talent lost.. also the rythm and armony of the song.. I like it and I feel bad for like it. :(
Does this count towards their military service? Like a “military band” or is this their job?
Brave words from an army that hasn't fought a war in 70 years. Has anyone told them they didn't win in July '53?
beautiful ladies
Wait, this is not the K pop i was searching for.
Celebrating, but they actually lost, and the Koreans on the other side of the border won. Because there, there's food and freedom.
Schöne Melodie mit viel Schwung. Das gefällt!!!!!
It's just the perfect blend of cheerful and spooky. It couldn't more perfectly embody dystopia if it had been designed for a movie.
I really respect you for speaking up and making the world know what your sufferings were. ❤
Those heels look like they hurt!
Nagyon szép előadás
Ya know, these ladies could make a solid living for themselves in the US.
Also I hope you are having a great time in Colorado I want to go there
Very insightful, a great video as always thank you for all that you do. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Jesus f Christ. A role playing song being in a March killing people 🙃
Amazing work you doing 👌🏻
Yeonmi Park you can make travel vlogs too
Make me feel to go for holiday. Nice country to visit.
[February, 24th 2024 (3:33 PM). I have neve seen so many beautiful North Korean Girls together! In fact, nowadays they are the most beautiful North Korean Girls! Congratulations to Mister Kim for his selection! The Girls are of exceptional ability in that so nacionalist song!] [PetroleiroPR from Paraná, Brazil]
The same-style clapping still gets to me lol
Really, these videos remind me of growing up under an extremist religious household. I had no way out, until I was an adult. I learned to play the game, and at times I even thought I was happy. I remember being told if I didn't clap enough in church, it was a sin. If I didn't do this or that, I was wrong. I remember the hopelessness I felt, the determination to do better, and feeling like there was no escape.
I see the same kinds of looks in the people of North Korea in these videos, and that's partially why the way they clap is so unnerving to me. It's like they're all trained to be exactly the same, and they know any deviance could cost them dearly.
At least the way I grew up, I had hope. When I was an adult, I was able to so simply move out and stop associating with the religious group. I wasn't forced to stay, and I didn't have to sneak out or break away. I just stopped going back. I mourn for people who are trapped by their government into such systems of oppression.
Why the quacking sound? This is surreal.
That was my favorite part ! 😀🐥
Because their dictator is a evil quack. They can't say it so they added a quacking sound to a song praising him. Yet still having enough deniability to keep them from being shot. That would be my guess. Or maybe that is just want to be the case. Real lasting change minus an invading military power can only happen if the North Korean people demand it.
I was born on 1988, and the hairstyle of this girl band was my mom's hairstyle when she gave birth to me..3 decades ago.
Praised the party nothing Praised you gals🤗🤗🤗🤗
Великолепно!👍👏👏👏
где твои яйца?
Привет из Простоквашина .
Great show, great song, beautiful girls. Latin America loves you all.
Saludes desde La Cruces, Nuevo Mexico en la frontera con Mexico.
Nunca me imaginé ver un video como este, wow wow wow les quedo excelente a los de Corea del Norte y más con esta bella melodía.
I always wondered why all the music was stuck in the 80’s and country / war themed but now I get it. Can’t have freedom of anything, including music, without the fear of an uprising.
Such talent, they performed with no errors. I wonder how nervous they were to make a mistake. I also wonder what their quality of life is like. Is it more privileged than other citizens?
Never forget East Asian countries, whatever their political leaning, have that obsession with practice and perfection. Attributing this trait to the North Korean regime would be reducing their efforts to not a lot. They probably practice extensively everyday and at this point, doing it in front of a live audience is like a routine to them. As for their standing in society, they most probably come from elite Pyongyang families with perfect political background, so they probably have a decent quality of life. They wouldn't allow country bumpkins into these exclusive circles. That said, their schedule must be extremely busy and if their life is regimented like any other pop artist in East Asia (South Korea, Japan, etc.), I'd say it's probably exhausting and taxing. When I think Moranbong band, I think Japanese idols of the late 70s and early 1980s who lived in dorms, under strenous conditions while putting a smile and pretending to live a jet-set life style. Hard to tell. I would be reality curious to see how Moranbong Band operates behind the curtain. One thing is sure, they look plenty healthy.
Such beautiful voices... but the song sounds like a religious song and so wrong.
Greetings from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro city
very good performance!! thanks!
These poor ladies. They’re all so beautiful and talented too. God bless them.
I had trouble keeping a straight face when I was reading the propagandized lyrics. I thought I was watching vaudeville.
my country is trying to be like this nowadays even we passed like this 70years
Muy lindo que gente más alegre y simpática la de este pais
I'm curious if there's ever a song fron Moranbong Band that has nothing to do with nationalism.
Their Disney medley isn't about nationalism.
Yankee devils 🙈?
I have no words... I'm just shocked that this is real... I definitely feel privileged even if my life isn't perfect...
Red Velvet could never compare to our queens from White Velvet.
This was so cringey, they still singing crazy songs , it looks like there still in the 60s
They are very talented and beautiful ladies, it's such a shame that their talent is wasted into making propaganda music that worship such a vile Leader and government... I still like to think that they can at least find a semblance of joy when they're playing music and performing, in their daily life in hell... And that hopefully one day I'll see them freed from their "prison"...
The Rolling Stones could learn a thing or two from those admirable singers.
Long Life to the Camarade President, Voice of the People!!!😊😊😊
would love for you to do a video about North Korean girl group - How they get recruited, where/how often they rehearse and perform, what happens if one of them messes up, pros and cons of being in a group, and what happens to their family!!! so many questions lol.
Unfortunately Yeonmi doesn’t have the answers to any of those questions. If she did try to answer them she would make up stuff that suits her narrative and gets her attention on UA-cam, which equals $ in her pockets.
They are so talented ❤
I agree!!
