I don’t support North Korea, but their pop music is truly something moving. There’s something about the electronic aesthetic of the 90s that makes it even more emotional in a sense.
@@chopstickingstylus If you have nothing and are completely isolated then you start to think hard and at the end will come up with your own solutions or even new inventions (or as other mentioned you ask Russia or China for some help)
As a person from South Korea I find this actually hilarious, I genuinely didn't know N.Korea had enough "pop" music to fill 50 mins???? It's even funnier that I can understand the lyrics, but they use such foreign words (For one the North Korean accent is so fking hilariously outrageous, the other is that they will replace some words with others like instead of saying "wig" they'll say "additional hair")
@@jmusic2024 lol its not that i haven't known abt it, i just find it interesting. It isnt taught in the way that (for example) irish accents aren't treated as a seperate language, just a variation of the english language. In the same way, the N.Korean accent is just an accent.
@@Luther_Pendragonn ?? I mean it's a country that isn't tiny so obviously it has a couple of different accents lmao. The 제주도 accent is so different that most Koreans don't understand it lmao.
"Don't Ask My Name" is a great song, eerily beautiful. I first heard it about 20 years ago when I started to learn about North Korea. I even wrote a letter (snail mail) to an office in Pyongyang to ask for North Korean movies/DVDs and they sent me back a floppy disc(!) with a catalogue.
That's a hell of a story. Can you elaborate more? What got you interested in dprk to the extent you mailed their government? Can anyone send them mail? I kind of want to write a letter to north korea
@@faithlessberserker5921in my country a guy made a REALLY big trolling. He posted for months videos of NK news, one-day he posted than the news noticed than NK had win the world Cup. This becomed a new all over the country and in some other as well. In the end he said that it was just trolling and the NK represents in Brazil sand letters for him saying how it was a good example of west manipulation of the news
it's shameful that the "Republic" of Korea still has oppressive anti-communistic laws on the books, and that the latest "president" Yoon seems to gag and remove anyone who even suggests doing anything for his own people. Any such leader cozy with the United States and Japan of all countries can't possibly have Koreas best interests in mind.
comrades I advise everyone who enjoyed this playlist to check out ussr pop music hits from 1950 to 1980, it sounds exactly the same, but there's more songs, lets make ussr-pop great again
USSR revolutionary music is better. Highly recommend Lenin is Young Again, White Army Black Baron(/the Red Amry is the Strongest), and We Are the Army of the People. And if you’ve somehow never heard it, the Sacred War and USSR anthem.
that's expected though. North and South Koreans are of the same ethnicity, and the Koreans are known for being good at music and dancing since long ago during ancient times

As a korean, I really want to know why '달린다' was translated as 'on the Wing' in '천리마 달린다(Chollima on the Wing)', while translated as 'Runs' in '통일렬차 달린다(Train of Reunification Runs)' I don't mean to point out your translations. Rather, you translated the titles well. It's just my pure curiosity. If I wrote this chat grammatically incorrect, I'm so sorry for that.
@@polyommatusicarus208 I think it’s a poetic translation? Since chollima is a winged horse, so the word “on the wing” matches the flying ability of the mythical animal. “Running Chollima” or “Chollima Runs” kinda feel somewhat ordinary
@@Griff10poldiI appreciate for your comment. Before I saw your comment, I had only perceived chollima as an imaginary horse that can run 1000 li per a day. Chollima: 천리마('천' means 1,000/'리' is distance unit/'마' means horse) After I saw North Korean propaganda, I noticed that chollima flies. And I found that a document about chollima described that chollima can 'go', not mentioning 'run' or 'fly'
Очевидно гражданство не равно национальность, это легко понять узнав сколько национальных меньшинств в Российской Федерации (я пренадлежу к одному из них, я казах). Естественно это работает не только в России
@@Dani-px7oj kpop has a lot of korean-only songs. If you go into the genre deeper than BTS or Blackpink then you'll also find more pop songs that fit the korean tradition more.
@@Dani-px7oj I think you only see one side and assume that it's completely true for everything else, which is stupid. There are plenty of Korean singers who combine traditional aspects into their songs, you just have to know where to find them (a.k.a know a bit of Korean, then research). Worldwide-famous K-pop bands like BlackPink and BTS cater heavily to the Western fanbase.
South Korea has this too you know. This is just traditional folk Korean music style. Maybe find something outside of BTS and mainstream kpop media and realize how Korean music is beautiful
This is unironically beautiful. The performers are absolutely talented and amazing to watch. I love that this is giving them a platform outside of their home. I hope for a future where they will all have better lives.
they do have better lives. i dont think they dont have a job or care about iphones. in NK system they 100 % will work in government job and given by government. and no they dont need platform outside their home . or they might be devoured by capitalism and cause them schizophrenia and do drama like kpop stars and american hollywood satanic culture.
Lol, they are literally living better lives than millions of people living on the streets of Western countries. I guarantee if you could give them your condescending sympathies in person they would probably mock you. Everyone in the world isn't a wannabe American waiting for their white knight.
Ironically, DPRK is every Nationalists wet dream, its the most patriotic and traditionalist country in the world, it upholds and maintains very old Korean traditions and even its music is extremely traditional, many of these songs take heavy inspirations from Korean music of the past
You're wrong in many part of this. It is not as nationalistic as it may seem, but most of the songs that get out are made the army or other branch of the State, which will be of course about the State. Most songs from there are not nationalistic, are just normal pop and their heavymetal, the one disc that I know of, is about communism but not North Korea in general. Another thing is that homoseuality and being trans, as well as many other identities were never criminalized, besides being a very climate conscientious country, with 85% of its energy being renewable with plans of 100% by 2035 Free healthcare, free education, free public transport and the ideal of "freeing the women from the slavery of the kitchen" are things they have and no nationalist in the west (or capitalist countries in general) support. If you read their constitution or their books, they're not really trad, only here and there, work which the Youth Leagues are working towards making it more progressive with ease, since such is a goal of the state
@@GodSpaghettii'm sure they follow their constitution... you know, the one that guarantees free speech? yes, north korea has a constitution that guarantees freedom of speech
@@GodSpaghetti My point was that DPRK is not nationalist obviously, but to the nationalists of the west, DPRK is their wet dream. The maintaining of traditions, culture and language. Not every nationalist tend to be conservative either. Not every nationalist is a capitalist sympathiser even if they have a very liberal understanding of economics. And most music in DPRK tend to be very traditional in their choice of instruments and lyrics are very similar to how Joseon music were written in the past, very similar structure and singing methods even. And all the things you listed, would hardly be bad things to a nationalist of the west except those who worship the marked economy for no reasons but to flex their ignorance. DPRK also does not promote or force homosexuality onto people, they treat sex like a personal thing, not something to scream to your neighbour about. Transgender does not exist in DPRK, because the same alienation and hyper sexuality does not exist in socialism. Its a capitalist phenomena
@@SMGJohn The hyper sexuality you mention does exist. Surgery is free and provided by the State in Laos, Vietnam and Cuba, besides being so in West Germany and Albania in the past. Alienation comes not from "wow society makes me want to be submissive and breedable, alienating me from my birth sex", but from the commodification of oneself to capital, selling your work to someone else so that you can feed yourself, instead of working because it has to be done and as such being able to really be proud of it. There are so many examples of trans beings throughout history and pre history, certainly predating capitalism, that to call it a capitalist phenomena is funny even
i recognize "socialism is good" at 8:11 . it was originally chinese, and this is a korean cover of it. interestingly enough, the first time i heard the song it was a rock instrumental version with the lyrics sung by a sentence-mixed barack obama years before AI voiceover tech became available. quite a feat.
@@Gnougnou_buWait a minute, you’re right. Also gonchangdang (I’m so sorry, that’s just how it sounds.., doesn’t that mean Communist Party in Chinese? Is there any Korean at all?)
@@realradiantrei I mean this music is probably all pretty old and maybe patriotic, but yes using this kind of instrumentals in new skpop groups, especially the bigger ones like NCT, seventeen or like loona would be pretty cool, especially at concerts and festivals
@@realradiantrei dude just search up "옛날 가요", there's a LOT and I'm not exaggerating. 옛날 means old and 가요 means songs (more often used by older people). Enjoy!
Meh, this is the 80s if I’m not mistaken, skpop from the 80s and electro ppongjak from the 90s is so fire. But yeah, nkpop is awesome too, but since im more of a synth pop/italo disco girl id have to go with skpop this time
It's actually insane to hear the Soviet influence of the music mixed with Korean, Japanese, and Chinese characteristics. It's a little spicy but the musicologist in me is having the strangest field day lol
One of the songs is Chinese, I’m not sure if the lyrics are Korean are not, considering the words are ‘socialism is good’ in the Chinese pronunciation.
How are they failing? Life is getting better. DPRK recently held elections, they have multiple parties. These elections were far freer than previous ones. Not as democratic as places like Cuba, but they’re getting there. Still recovering from Korean War and USSR’s collapse, they were a democratic nation richer than the south before that.
The North Korean socialist state, under the leadership of the workers party of Korea, the Korean people organised as the governing class, is infinitely more democratic than so called liberal, parliamentary, “democracy” since in the West elections are held in an atmosphere of exploitation and domination of the landlords and capitalists over the masses, and outcomes are decided by the omnipotence of the banks. “Freedom of speech” and of “assembly” are empty and hypocritical phrases when the media system and parliament have been made the private property of the rich minority. I’m the DPRK the public infrastructure is at the disposal of workers organisations and unions and tens of thousands of working people assemble in mass demonstrations for their socialist way of life and in opposition to US imperialist aggression.
They're late sounds like 1970s or 1960s (I may not be wrong but the new songs of them still sounds like 1970s)😭 but it still slaying and soon they will be having a pop songs with beats and eurobeats
I really fucking hate NK because I'm south korean. But i can't deny how chollima on the wing is great The song's melody is characteristic of traditional Korean folk songs. As you listen to Chollima on the wing, you can enjoy traditional Korean song.
South Korean music has been influenced by American music, North Korean - by Soviet music. Even as a musician you can't say that you're not interested in politics.
I've developed a nuanced perspective on socialism recently, as skepticism towards capitalism has grown within me. However, regardless of one's views on economic systems, it is essential to condemn and reject this oppressive regime of North Korea currently in power, which is not a manifestation of communism but rather a brutal cult led by a criminal mafia family. This regime is responsible for the starvation and indoctrination of tens of millions of its own citizens. It's disheartening that, in 2023, the international community seems to be complacent in the face of such atrocities.
