Terrifying but not surprising. Fuck Kim Jong-un and the whole Workers’ Party.
Imagine being so insecure about your government that you murder people for listening to music.
I’m not even surprised, they just didn’t want him to get more brainwashed than he was from their own propaganda.
Poor bastard…
Revolution is WAY overdue……The people need to stand up. I hope one day they get to experience freedom in their lives.
While I don’t agree with N Korea I do understand in this case.
People need to relax on gay stuffs
I’m no fan of K-pop but this seems a bit extreme
I would execute myself if I listened to Kpop
There is plenty of better music to listen to on earth so sad for him for having poor music taste /s
According to a report “released by South Korea’s unification ministry”.
gangnam style
but Kim Jong Un loves Red Velvwt and even invited them lol
Funny to see how Kim hasn’t “owned” K-Pop get.
“The whole world loves our dear leader Kim so much, they created a whole music genre in his name, K(im)-Pop.
Crazy in this day and age 26 million people can still live in what is essentially a comically oppressive dystopian cult, so detached from reality, only 50km away from one of the most modern, rich and westernized metropolises. Watching from afar and knowing little, I wonder how long this can continue on for, and why we simultaneously totally aren’t ok with it but also completely tied down by the threats of a single man holding an entire country to a lifetime of literal hell under the threat of nuclear war.
K-pop stans, do your thing.
Wait where did they all go? Why are they harassing some white woman from Arkansas?
Where is democracy and freedom?
I hope this is a policy that catches on elsewhere
Despite this, college students will say South Korea is the “American Occupation Zone”
Seriously, a while back ago NK jailed a BABY because his parents were in ownership of a bible.
Such a fragile regime is North Korea, if you have to force you policies, religion or what ever on to an entire population and keep up with the inforcment, cause that one time you let people chose they abandon you, as very little of your citizens want it.
A absolute pathetic, murdious regime killing its own people.
The source is unnamed and not verifiable. I don’t doubt that NK executes prisoners but I find it highly unlikely that they would do it for just listening to k-pop. The title is sensationalism and made to sell more subsciptions. That said, NK is very closed up country for us westerners and it would be beneficial to let journalists in and report more thruthfully.
Anyone who believes that shit is seriously gullible
What western college kids want:
K pop is actually the reason for a lot of genocides, many such cases
well.. can’t we just send the Twitter Stans over there to take care of NK now?
Americans will believe literally anything they hear about North Korea. Y’all will believe that it’s simultaneously illegal to have the same haircut as Kim Jong Un and illegal to nor have the same haircut as Kim Jong Un.
The fact that so many people read this headline and just believe it despite the fact that we all know that K pop exists in North Korea, and in fact it was well documented that Kim Jong Un was dating a k pop singer a few years ago.
Given that no one listens to k-pop in NK. how did they know what it was that this guy had listened to?
…and what are they gonna do with the “survivors” sent to Ukraine? Exposed to the “outside” world?
