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 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
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.
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. :(
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...
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
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
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.

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.
@@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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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 !❤️
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*

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
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.
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*
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 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.
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. 😘

100% facts totally agree with you
actually, north korea has their own kpop concept and red velvet is their reflection to it thats why they perform in north korea.
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.

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.

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.
i saw one lady breathing and i saw one lady smiling so beautifully
They look legitimately disturbed.
It's not what they are used to and it is probably viewed, not without reason, as quite stupid entertainment.
it looks like they are not enjoying it but those people are literally fanchanting inside
idk why i feel so uncomfortable watching this
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...
Same here
Me too:( its different aura when i see they perfomed in South korea
SAME
Same here
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.

이렇게 큰 웃음 나눌 수 있어서 정말 고맙습니다 오늘 하루도 행복하세요^^
I guess the audience were speechless at how stunning Red Velvet looked !?
Yeri: bet you wanna wanna dance like this.
NK: NO. but deep inside (YES PLEASE!!!!!)
발라드 가수도 아니고 레드벨벳 참으로 고생했네..속으로 얼마나 잼없고 힘들었을꼬....저런 허수아비들 앞에서 공연하느라....
흐윽 한..하..한국어다
북한인들도 웃고싶겠지만 김정은한테 웃는게 보이면 끝나니까 그렀겠죠?...

"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 ♡♡
lmao i see u everywhere
I see u on every rv vids haha
Are u a hardcore fan of rv cuz i see u everywhere😂
Another version of Luhan's nipple
Red Velvet is awesome! ✮✢❂✶✧ 😍
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 :)

North korean?
Ivete Silva maybe
Ivete Silva Nah it’s korean it says mbc
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 🗿
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
When ur friends explaining how fun there spring break was and ur just there like:
Queen_ Namjoon
This comment deserves more likes tbh lmao.😂
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 !❤️
North korea
99.99percent joy stan

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.
Prspp Jjang hey im a ONCE and a ReVeLuv and i totally agree
Blyatiful ikr
I'm just glad they made it back to South Korea.. Kimjongun was really taking a liking for Irene... #scary
하진짜 조이없는거 아직도 아쉽다.
감자 톡톡톡
ㄹㅇ
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.
This is scarier than a black ocean😥
Someone in the crowd smiling.
KIM JONG UN: JAIL!!!!!!
He was in the crowd too
0:04 "ok wtf is happening"
0:20 "..cute"
1:16 culture shock no.1
1:33 "joy where r u? this looks dumb with 4 people"
1:50 still trying to understand what's going on. culture shock no. 2
2:55 "this is literally the 3rd time the camera is focussing on me. i better look bored"
3:05 still trying to understand what's going on. culture shock no. 3
3:07 "why is no one clapping?"
3:08 *relieved*
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❤
Everyday I think about that lovely crowd
Maybe they just screamed internally
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
댓글보니까 여기 북한인지 모르는 외국인들도 있네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 여기 북한이고 조이는 드라마때문에 같이 못갔습니다
right
겨우 그딴 드라마때문에 ㄷㄷ
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 👍
Im happy i could live long enough to see humans dancing for a robot audience!
Wth 😂😂😂😂😂
Pedro Guimaraes 😂😂😂😂😂
someone in the audience probably has a red velvet album under their bed
that audience member is probably dead by now.
Red velvet saved their soul.
If I'm There I'll Just Cheer For them💃
Well you need to respect other nation cultures then, that's what you lack at...
you mean, you need to respect the AK117 on the roofs up there where Kim is sitting *
You'll be Dead then.. 😂😂
Over your dead body!
You either stay quiet or get shot in NK. If I was one of the people in the audience, I'd like to cheer but I also don't want to die, so...
Kudos to redvelvet for performing with smile on their faces and kudos to the woman who smiled and hope she is well and safe
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*
1:49 *Me and my Classmates in class.*
heeyoung more of me and my classmate when the teacher make a lame jock to break the ice on the first day of school.

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!!
ugh i miss my girls ):
Good job rv! You got my respect...it must be hard to perform infront of them😥
1:16 they all have straight faces 💀💀💀💀
They sang live! Still smiling even no reaction
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.
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". ;;;
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. 😘
Yeri really pretty with that outfit
2:55 the woman in the white is trying so hard not to fangirl....
try not to fangirl/fanboy challenge 😂
ICONIC
Yeri: bet you bet you wanna dance like this
The audience: Yes we are
They sang live!! I'm so proud.
