The thinking of dictator Kim and his cronies is simple enough — South Korean shows and music videos are full of glitter and glamour. They show the North Korean audience a world entirely alien to their own drab, grey and depressingly dystopian society. The South Korean stars are healthy, young, tall and well-dressed. They have all the newest gadgets, all the newest phones and cars. None of them live in apartments anywhere near as sad and broken down as those of North Korea’s population…
Recently in North Korea, a 22-year-old man was publicly executed. His crime? Listening to K-Pop music. As in, South Korean pop music. Watching South Korean shows, or listening to their music, is illegal in North Korea. And yes, it can get you a death sentence.
Kim really doesn’t want anyone getting any ideas. While South Korea has many issues of its own, they’re not reflected in most of their lighthearted entertainment. Seeing just how advanced South Korea is goes against all of the Northern propaganda. And it may just give people ideas. So if you’re caught listening to K-Pop? It’s the firing squad for you.
