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.
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.

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.
So...how many "medals" do you have, guy? Are you jealous? The North Koreans are still at war with USA since 1950. Didn't anybody tell you that? They don't like you anymore than you like them.
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.

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.
@@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.
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.
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.
then what are your thoughts on "courtesy of the red white and blue" and "god bless the usa"... double standard much? (i don't support the kim regime. i just don't get the double standard.)
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 :-)
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! ;-)
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!
That other channel is not affiliated with the band. If they were it probably would have been deleted by now considering most RUclips channels based in North Korea are eventually deleted by RUclips.
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!
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 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...
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 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....
How do you know? Is that just what you want to believe? All regimes have willing tools or they would not be in power. Being able to perform for their Leader probably improve their lives.
@@edwardprice140 One has to be "talented" to go international, dude. Yours just don't have nobody that can compete with them.

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!
Судя по радостным лицам участников ансамбля, их хорошенько накормили перед выступлением! Остальные их соотечественники, падают на улицах в голодный обморок от многолетнего недоедания! Такого образования, как Северная Корея, не должно быть на карте мира!
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.
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.
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...
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.
Very nice. Women playing their own instruments rather than background tapes recorded by a bunch of guys in a music studio. Clearly North Korea is a big step ahead of the south on such matters.
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.
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. :(
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.
Such subtlety and magination in both lyrics and music! Actually, it's as camp as a row of tents. An irony they probably don't recognise is that their salutes (palm down) are as American as you can get. (The Royal Navy taught it to the US in the 19th. century.)
I just had this thought. Have you watched the 2006 movie Team America World Police? It offended Kim Jong-Il back in the day. It is centered around North Korea. 😁
Don't forget Yeonmi... the BLACK DIAMOND ⯁ signs mean that you can see the entire mountain ⯁... and the valley and the Ski Lodge below ⯁... and also that there is more of the beautiful scenery ⯁... buy it goes by quicker ⯁... so you need to pay attention...!!!
Jesus they all look like they’re gonna burst out crying at any second this is so disturbing :(( they’re all talented but this is unsettling because you can just tell they’re terrified
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.
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 RUclips, which equals $ in her pockets.
I am wondering if these performers really do despise us Americans based on their lyrics. If that is true then it is depressing because if they knew what America was really like they would have the right to use their wonderful talent anyway they want rather than propaganda. I also heard many of these women are forced to "retire" by marrying older government officials. In America they would never have to do that.

A north Korean I met in Mexico told me that those are the medals they will be award, in another war with the USA and Europe.
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

If these girls were allowed to sing like south korean idols, trust me they can even beat blackpink too
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
You got a mirror, dude?
You have a mirror, dude?
Thanks for including subtitles. Really appreciated.
Jesus f Christ. A role playing song being in a March killing people 🙃
Amazing work you doing 👌🏻
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...
Superb Group of Wonderfully Talented Ladies - They ALL need to Go on Tour, And Defect!
They seem so happy and joyous and innocent. They have no idea the world outside of them has so much to offer. Poor ladies.
Why the quacking sound? This is surreal.
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.
Truly disgusting that some "people" would do this horrible thing.
When the memes realign in meaning
Very nice. Women playing their own instruments rather than background tapes recorded by a bunch of guys in a music studio. Clearly North Korea is a big step ahead of the south on such matters.
Celebrating, but they actually lost, and the Koreans on the other side of the border won. Because there, there's food and freedom.
I will nevet believe a word yeomni park says ever again
I really respect you for speaking up and making the world know what your sufferings were. ❤
Somehow, I cannot see a world tour in their future.
MY MOST IMPORTANT LIFE GOALS- (1) become a k-pop trainee
(2) save and help North Koreans from that bully bull
The duck sound makes the song worth listening to
Wish we could free these ladies, very talented
They are all hoping no one picks them for the party after the performance.
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.
Ya know, these ladies could make a solid living for themselves in the US.
This was absolutely beautiful
I wish they were free. They are talented and majestic. I hope one they we be able to sing great musical vocals. Tour in The West and The USA.
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. :(
I love how the audience consists entirely of people in uniform being like 👏🗿
Wait, this is not the K pop i was searching for.
공유해 주셔서 감사합니다 👌🎉💥❤
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.
Such subtlety and magination in both lyrics and music! Actually, it's as camp as a row of tents. An irony they probably don't recognise is that their salutes (palm down) are as American as you can get. (The Royal Navy taught it to the US in the 19th. century.)
I was thinking exactly that. You’re right, it’s as camp as a row of tents. It could be the entry into the Eurovision Song Contest, circa 1974.
Also I hope you are having a great time in Colorado I want to go there
I have no words... I'm just shocked that this is real... I definitely feel privileged even if my life isn't perfect...
HAHA IK FIRST hello yeonmin!
I just had this thought. Have you watched the 2006 movie Team America World Police? It offended Kim Jong-Il back in the day. It is centered around North Korea. 😁
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.
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.
Such a beautiful prison.
Well put.
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.
Very talented and gorgeous women also love their outfits.
Very insightful, a great video as always thank you for all that you do. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
If George Orwell had seen this he would have proclaimed himself a prophet!
Our most beloved Leader whose farts smell of freshly cut roses .
it feels like I'm in the past, in the Soviet Union - it's amazing how similar everything is
Don't forget Yeonmi... the BLACK DIAMOND ⯁ signs mean that you can see the entire mountain ⯁... and the valley and the Ski Lodge below ⯁... and also that there is more of the beautiful scenery ⯁... buy it goes by quicker ⯁... so you need to pay attention...!!!
Yeonmi Park you can make travel vlogs too
You can say what you want about them but the level of discipline and organisation being displayed here is impeccable
I had trouble keeping a straight face when I was reading the propagandized lyrics. I thought I was watching vaudeville.
Jesus they all look like they’re gonna burst out crying at any second this is so disturbing :(( they’re all talented but this is unsettling because you can just tell they’re terrified
These poor ladies. They’re all so beautiful and talented too. God bless them.
1:12 that duck sound makes me laugh.. haahahah why would you add that/??
Those heels look like they hurt!
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.
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 RUclips, which equals $ in her pockets.
I wonder if they ate anything at the elaborate tables…… !!! One day I feel they will crack and rebel.
Its crazy how much money and effort is clearly spent on this song when most of the country still does not have food.
Hundreds of times preferable to K-pop from the south. I stand with the north.
They are so talented ❤
I agree!!
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.
Such beautiful voices... but the song sounds like a religious song and so wrong.
I’m surprised the electricity didn’t go out! I swear I saw an overhead light flickering over one of the tables 🤔
Great show, great song, beautiful girls. Latin America loves you all.
Saludes desde La Cruces, Nuevo Mexico en la frontera con Mexico.
I am wondering if these performers really do despise us Americans based on their lyrics. If that is true then it is depressing because if they knew what America was really like they would have the right to use their wonderful talent anyway they want rather than propaganda. I also heard many of these women are forced to "retire" by marrying older government officials. In America they would never have to do that.
Великолепно!👍👏👏👏
где твои яйца?
Привет из Простоквашина .
Very nice presentation from NOKOR!
This was so cringey, they still singing crazy songs , it looks like there still in the 60s
Based on this song, it seems like North Koreans have been milking the July 27th Victory for over 70 years now
