Well... maybe she wants to date him but just don't want him to mention her name? Or... perhaps she just wants to run after him to tell him to write about how great the Party is!
Leftists always get into arguments about the worst communists. The true question is who are the best communists. This video says the best communists are the nameless ones who put in the work and don't ask or expect credit, because they understand they're part of a larger, collective effort. We should all strive to emulate their example.
South Korean pop music is about selling consumer products, and to do this the videos present an illusion of individual self-empowerment and autonomy. The message of this song, however, is that the young worker does not have to sell herself, because she works for the good of her community as a whole. She's not a "brand," i.e. she's not a commodity, so nobody needs to know her name.
Trakfactri the South Korean market is oversaturated with sexual imagery and sexualization of young girls turning their bodies into market commodities, the K-pop music of South Korea isn’t even very good, that’s why I prefer this music video.
@@elliottlastnameblank7916 South Korean singers tend to flash themselves in the most selacious ways on stage occassionally, stuff that aren’t even included in dance moves. So much for feminism.
@@elliottlastnameblank7916 Either way, we need to get rid of both. Feminism is de-feminising women and turning them into men-hating female incels. Sexual culture is turning women into overt sl*ts.

Слова непонятны но сама песня и музыка просто обалденно. Унесло меня в беззаботную юность, первая любовь , и вообще приятное чувство от просмотра и прослушивание клипа. Реально в машине ставлю каждое утро пока еду на работу. Добрая и милая песня …
Terveiset kääntäjältä! Olen kuunnellut ja tutkinut pohjoiskorealaista musiikkia vuosia, monia yhtyeitä, lukuisia kappaleita ja siinä ohessa käänsin muutamia Pohjois-Korean kappaleita suomeksi aikoinaan ennen kuin RU-vid poisti yhteisökäännökset käytöstä. 감사합니다 eli kiitos koreaksi! :)
Being humble is a very important value in North Korea, both because of traditional Korean culture and communist collectivism. "Don't Ask My Name" is about being humble and telling others to focus not on one's individual but the collective, which is why the video is filled with scenes of the woman refusing praise.
@@alicesenz6374this is a wonderful art… I hope more song nowdays does not like following like kind of juche at all but just deliver some kind of messages so people can learn more about life… This song has its own charismatic…
@@arashi20xx31 Many memories of the time of my youth come up When I open the picture album The old comrades-in-arms, from that day of the war Looking at me, are asking: Are we still living like in those days? Are we still living like in those days? Spilling our hot blood beyond the Raktong river Like every day of those days Impossible to forget, the picture of these colourful days Running accross the hard-fought vacant land, taking the first spade to break the earth The comrades-in-arms are looking at me: How can we ever forget those days? How can we ever forget those days? Tightening our belt, and singing revolutionary songs Every day of those days Although the time of those youth memories has passed although our appearance has changed The mind, following the motherly party is still young We will always live like in those days We will always live like in those days We harden in our hearts that
I started listening to North Korean music recently. I live on Maui. This is one of my favorite songs so far. I like this one as well as "rainbow unification, and it's various permutations
I think this is a cute song, but North Korea has moved on since that time (early 2000s). It's progressing at the speed of China, but with less compromise on the ideology. Personally I wish this country and its people all the best. Everyone else should mind their own business! Koreans are among the smartest people on this planet. I think North Korea will prevail and prosper.
I think this song is about a woman who wants to remain anonymous even though people keep asking her what her name is; especially a guy who is absolutely in love with her. She wants to keep it a secret because of her family in the North. So the part about "Our Party" is totally irrelevant to the rest of the song.
Congratulations you just won the stupidest comment on RU-vid. Yeomni tells life while you are watching art. Can you even tell the difference between life and art d***as*?
Translation: " Even those of us Born and allowed by the DPRK Government to reside in the Most Beautiful flat Land in Korea, Pyongyang, The City of Willow Trees, must be VERY CAREFULL, especially with Youthfull Desires. Come up and see me sometime 😂❤. " Tasteful, I must admit. And I must also admit this was made before the " Arduous March", the time when the Soviet Union fell started to hit hard, and Russia could not support the DPRK anymore. Before the Famine outside of the Gilded Gates of Pyongyang. The DPRK was never self sufficient, and the Soviet Union collapsed from within. The Arduous March started before US Sanctions to the DPRK. It started when Russia abandoned the DPRK. Self sufficiency... and Clinging to the no more existence of the Soviet Union, and the DPRK still clinging to the Soviet Atheist ways, no matter the Cost to it's own People outside the Beautiful City of Willow Trees, Pyongyang. The " Capitol " in the Hunger Games, which we Americans would call it, .😊
Wondering if Ri Gyeong Suk is still alive. Or if she's somehow related to the current Korean first lady Ri Sol-ju... Can't find any real data online about either unfortunately.
Erm... Ri Kyong Suk is very good in her 45. She is teaching vocal in some institute or university. Or maybe in children's palace as other member of Pochonbo band, Jeon Hye Young, does. Last time the ensemble participated in the 10k joint concert "Great Party, Rosy Korea" in October 2015. Stop making conspiracy theories...
I'm glad to hear that she's alive and well but don't act like my curiosity is ignorant when you know as well as I do 12 popstars in the DPRK were executed when Kim Jong Un came into power. Not that Ri Gyeong Suk had any connection to the group...
And one of these 12 "executed" popstars was Marshal Kim Jong Un's "ex-lover" Hyon Song Wol, who appeared on TV alive and well eight months after her execution... It was rumor. Do not believe in them.
This is a song about the special period after the fall of the Soviet Union. The song is about a girl divided between her feelings and the commitment to the country and the party. This was a period of famine in North Korea, mainly because the USSR was their main economic partner, so marrying and having child means more people to feed. After all is a propaganda song, but a good one.
No, it's a very straightforward, socialist message. The young worker does not have to sell herself, because she works for the good of her community as a whole. She's not a "brand," i.e. she's not a commodity, so nobody needs to know her name. This is because labor is not a commodity under socialism. It's similar to the Chinese communist story of Lei Feng, who was a selfless comrade would always work very hard and never ask for credit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_Feng
I think: she achieved a huge result at work, the photographer/journalist would like to write about her in the newspaper and she says she doesn't deserve it, her name is not important and he should think to the harder efforts done by the railway builders and by the Party, instead. Interpreting with this the lyrics seem clearer. (However, the music video could be ambiguous.)
are there *any* North Korean popular songs (aside from old folk songs) that don't have anything to do with the state or the party? is literally every aspect of life expected to be subsumed under the party?
Yes, there are a lot of them. For example: Women are flowers Intimate talk Don't advance, night of Pyongyang Whistle In search of my mental nest My country is the best Let's study I actually like those songs about Party. Not because of politics. Those political songs are just something very exotic for me. They don't write such songs in the West. At the same time, all Western pop songs are about relationships. That's much more boring in my opinion.
Translation, "We both live in Pyongyang Paradise, we both are being watched in Gilded Bliss. Unless the "Party" sent you to fantasize about me and myself You, please stop". . . Meanwhile girls in South Chosun would snatch him right up, and Guys in South Chosun her. Party be damned. This on a realistic note this nice tune came out before or during the Mass Starvation of the mid 1990s, even though it looks like it was filmed in 1985 to us.
