Hi everyone, I want to clarify why I am uploading these videos again. I am not trying to show the greatness of Kim Jong-un, rather I am trying to show how vigorously the oppression and brainwashing is ingrained in every party of North Korean society. Furthermore, what happens when the individuals lose their liberty to a state. People in North Korea are not allowed to sing about love, life or anything other than the Kim dictator and the communist party. And here is the evidence of brainwashing in North Korea to those people who worships communism.
Thank you for sharing these keep up the good work :)
It is truly sad that these talented people are forced to play this propaganda instead of creating amazing songs for the world to enjoy
I feel like this is beginning to take shape in our country.
You are doing an incredible job Y. These are talented musicians who have worked hard for years to learn their instrument, and the dancing is incredibly well synchronised. It is natural for artistic people to sing from their soul, yet their real song is held hostage somewhere. I only hope that they can still hear their own song inside, and that hasnt also been taken away.
no worries u showed it well :):):) Free N Korea Lord!
These poor people. They’re so talented. I hate thinking that people have such hatred towards all North Koreans when it’s not the citizens fault. I’m sure that without the brainwashing, most of them are very very very nice people. Heck, as an American, I’d love to befriend a North Korean. As nice as that sounds, it may never happen.
Edit: Well, come to think of it, Yeonmi is our friend. So that’s one!
Thank you for saying that ♥️
@@YeonmiParkOfficialHi, In History, There was a group of Vietnamese come to N.Korea as refugee .Do you know that .They have last name is Ly .(not Lee of Chinese)
@@YeonmiParkOfficial Hey. We’re all people. No matter what religion you practice, leader you follow, etc. We are all brothers and sisters. Like I said, it’s because the government has ingrained a bad image in everyone’s mind. We don’t think and accuse people and spread hate. Hate stems from weakness.
Why would some people have “so much hatred” towards the North Koreans? I’ve never heard about that before. I only know that we would all like them to be free of this terrible oppression!
@@oxygenpom1606 Hatred comes from the fact that North Koreans are told that every country but China and Russia are enemies. Although I know it’s not the NK people’s fault. It doesn’t feel good knowing that people are brainwashed into hating you for no reason. Which brings be back to my point. People here in America especially don’t like North Koreans because we never think about the fact that they can’t control what they’re being told. We skip the fact that they are brainwashed and don’t think about what it’s like to be them.
Anybody listening to music about studying would DEFINITELY be called a nerd most other places.
This dropped the day I started my channel "watch me studying" so my family can watch me studying, I think it's the universe trying to get me to study more. 😂
This is propaganda music
@@watchmestudying2408 - We you need to be studying, OR need to be a communist... Probably the first one.
no
The United States used to value and treasure studying and education, And we lead the world in scholastic achievement Until pop culture infiltrated by Communist ideologyTook over the schools universities and the minds of our students and made education something to be called nerdy.
So let me get this straight...the country is barely able to feed half the population and they have the cash to pay for this? That’s messed up 😳
Kevin Cunningham The DPRK only spends money on brainwashing propaganda, Pyongyang, the elites and military.
Priorities lol
Seriously, it's a mess.
@@chocolatestrawberry3658 And Moranbong Band happens to be a brainwashing propaganda group made up of Pyongyang elites
Yes, messed up in a big sense. But in a small sense, how messed up is your logic? I mean feeding the population takes a LOT of money, but putting on a show takes a comparatively tiny amount of money.
If they took the money that this show cost and spent it on food, it would only buy everyone a single cookie, basically. (Not a perfectly to scale answer but it illustrates the point I'm making.)
Who are they gonna study the benefit for? When you cant work to better yourself. When you do not have a chance to build your own life the way you want.
Maybe it's about how soy depletes the soil of essential nutrients, and how to grow food that as well, imparts nutrients into the soil. And how using human faeces as fertiliser is giving them worms, that takes the majority of nutrients from any little bit of food that they're eating. How animal and human shit is unnecessary for growing food. My Indian grandma made her own out of food scraps. now i know that NK people most definitely don't have food scraps, but the point is the right minerals, and those could be found in greenery, and potentially fermented stuff, etc. So, yeah, they could study to benefit themselves. They could all be growing their own food in their gardens, etc, if everyone was doing it as well, then perhaps there would be less theft. potatoes, are a very easy food to grow, they regrow from their own peelings. So if they could get some seed potatoes to start with, then they could regrow and regrow forever, and everyone would have loads of potatoes to eat all the time.
After hearing this song, I have a sudden urge to study immediately...
ROFL
.,... that's strange,.....I got the urge to yak....👍😂
Me too, and I've been out of school for 40 years!
Still hear that tune in my head, too.
Even studying is a curse over there. Every shred of printed material is pure propaganda, so even if you like "studying", there is nothing of value to study.
I was gonna make a joke but the lyrics are so vaguely disturbing, i dont wanna be funny
@Sugar Free Anthems the message is “study so our country can be better.” Not study so you are more intelligent, or to improve the *world,* just study so your oppresive country can become better, not for you, but for the oppresive leader.
....Then get back to your homework...
..NOW ! !..
🤗
@Sugar Free Anthems ....except this is NK and we know it isn’t.
@Sugar Free Anthems also, I can tell you’re the one liking your own comments lmao
@Sugar Free Anthems then i’m also assuming you don’t seek the meaning of things very often. And I can tell you’re liking your own comments, not as stupid as that.
Sing, smile, dance!
And the entire time they're probably terrified of missing a step. I cannot even imagine the horrific pressure to be that perfect. 😢
And the audience applauding because that's their job.
Did anyone else catch the "Partridge Family" moves of the ladies in the band *strumming* their bass guitars?
God bless them. ❤
I'm an old overweight bald man, but I can assure you I would perform flawlessly the choreography if I knew a screw up on my part would land my family member in a forced labor camp.
wenn ihr den NK unterstellt das alle gehirngewaschen sind dann müst ihr mal bei eusch anfangen.wenn ihr die lügen der medien nachplappert seit ihr nicht besser als die wenn ihr noch nicht da wart würde ich misch mal bischen zurückhalden
I love the clothes. The voices are incredible. Dance is kinda slow but interesting at the same time. I am not gonna start talking about the music because if i start i cant describe how beautiful that is. It is real shame how beautiful this show is.
They haven't worn these clothes in a long time, this was from back when Kim wanted to show himself as a modern, open-minded leader.
Nowadays they all wear a white military outfit and all have the same haircut, which happens to be IIRC the female version of Kim Jong-Un's haircut.
@@scusachannel1682
And you whites don't dress the same, because you look the same, sad and hateful.
It's very different in North Korea: singing and dancing are different professions. These girls are perfect singers but mediocre dancers (although they would become better in a few years). There are perfect dancers as well - search for "Wangjaesan dance".
When your high school teachers try to make you study by being "hip with the kids."
Pretty valuable. School.

@Dinesh Truth Yeah, I don't believe the media. You're just a Nork Wumao, though. #FreeNorthKorea
Oh the irony of this song when Kim won’t give opportunities to those that actually want to study and do something for their country!! I hope one day North Korean people are free!
They sing about making North Korea a wonderland. It already is. People wonder where their next meal is coming from, or if they said something that will send them to prison...
Yea, they're very talented and the sound is great. Too bad it's wasted on NK. I can see them on cruise ships, performing for people all over the world and enjoying life in their own way. Tragic.
absolutely
North Korean women are so beautiful!
Yes!
All Korean North south
Total lack of junk food
Ag especially.
“Time flows without a break”
Bruh, GIVE THEM A FRICKING BREAK!
I don't think this would have motivated me to spend more time in the library during my school days. It has a very 1970s variety show look and sound to it.
So what was wrong with the 1970s?
nothing, it just when I was in school and would have watched something like this at the beginning of the year
@@cbm2156 idk it was a weird time, maybe not as weird as North Korean leadership and systematic government oppression but close 😂👍
Ya it really feels like sth released 50 ys ago.
Reminds me of an Abba song kinda
i could see the moranbong band as a successful kpop group tbh
I was wondering what they played when they were off by themselves
@@chipparmley: They're probably forced to practice so much they're sick of their instruments.
:(
Those women look like robots. Same dress, same hair style, same frozen smiling face. And the lyrics are obviously meant to brainwash everyone. It’s quite alarming.
WOW! These women can sing. I used to live in Seoul, and I loved it. As a black american man I love Korean culture and women. I studied Korean language as well 10 vowels and 14 constants.
Lol that's called phonetics
dude this is NORTH Korea....u dont wanna go THERE..
Latin Americans love Koreans, both nations. Mexicans have no issues with North Korea, but it has issue with the gringo USA nation. Most Latin American will also tell you that (USA Americans_ don't even like themselves and blame all other for their misdeeds.
@@RRDB92
Dude, don't worry about that, they don't want you there either.. In matter of fact, dude, it seem that you are NOT welcome in any other country and even in South Korea. The good thing is, North Korean does not have that problem.
It's perfectly orchestrated. It's an image of Kim's perfect Korea. Sadly it's just an image.
What are they telling you to study? To study how “glorious the dear leaders are”.
Yup. The national manifesto ...which is written in chalk.
@@richardpotter6313 Sure is! The Kims can change it up when it’s convenient!
The Amended Commandments of Animalism: "No animal shall kill any other animal... without cause." "All animals are equal... but some animals are more equal than others"
I know right 'Kim Jong-Un is the greatest'
@@criskity oh man, such an amazing book. Back in the 50's the CIA flew hot air balloons into east Germany carrying copies of Comrade Napoleon. Perhaps an idea for North Korea :D
Reminds me of ABBA. I actually really like their songs, it’s such a shame the situation
Their looks isn't bad, the sound is really good, everyone is really talented and dedicated. They have smiles that don't reach their eyes. the dancing is very dated and boring. the lyrics are strange.
i would love to see these same people preform a song they liked rather than one that was Kim Party Approved. They could even just do Anderson Sisters Covers, that sort of music would be right up their ally.
burningplumbranches They have performed foreign songs before, such as, Gonna Fly Now, Brother Louie, Disney Songs, classical pieces, world famous songs.
Lol they singing the songs of their enemy?
Honestly all these songs are really great. I love the way they all sound. These women all have so much talent! It is fascinating to this part of the culture of the north. Hopefully one day these women can sing what they really want to sing!
To be able to understand the concept of pain and still be able to inflict on another is truly a horrific thing.
Two things I noticed, first the song has only about twenty words total , most are repeats, and second, the Drum set has symbols made by SABIAN, a Canadian company. I know because I worked in the plant . So how did they get them. I don't remember North Korea being on our list of customers.
I think someone might have a contract with the company, either the KWP or a government department, or they come in via a third party through Hong Kong or Japan.
How do the poor people without electricity hear these songs? And how do they see the government propaganda videos?
It's most likely not even shown in their own country. It's propaganda for the rest of the world to see.
Theresa G Good question.
I’m just curious, I’ve seen people living in basically huts, how would they have a TV? That’s all :)
There is an upper class. Scientists, doctors, high ranking military.
It's for the rich in Pyongyang and few other places. The rich too need propaganda, maybe more than the poor: they're busy surviving while those with some time at their disposal can get more brainwashing. Actually, if they have an impression the country is doing well to the point they enjoy the luxury of a TV show, they'll be even more loyal to the regime since it would assure them this kind of "privilege" and other things. Remember they only have one channel to watch though.
Good musicians and singers, too bad they can't sing fun songs.
I wonder where each of these girls originally hail from. Did the band's recruiters pull them out from around the country, or are they the children of elites?
For sure Children of Elites as evidenced by their height. Children from families outside capital are stunted in growth due to malnutrition.
Wow, after 1 minute there was 47 views she is good at this.
Good Job!
singing about knowledge in a country without it
Performers are beautiful ❤️
I noticed the drummer had a Sabian cymbols. Sabian is a Canadian company.
it feels like I'm in the past, in the Soviet Union - it's amazing how similar everything is
I wish I had teachers who looked like that when I was in school.
I had enough trouble paying attention as it was. Miniskirts had come into fashion.
I heard that ❤❤❤
This sounds better than any, or most, "Top 40" radio hits out there NOW!
🎯😳 🤣🤣🤣
🤯🤯🤯....🤣🤣🤣
I see the ladies in the band, and it’s such a huge culture shock to see only women and no men. It’s shocking in a sick way. These women are forced to perform in front of men for their pleasure alone. Kim is living a dream, but it’s actually a nightmare for everyone else.
Yeah i was thinking the same.
It is interesting to notice that music in western countries is male dominated (you see a female singer and all the other band members are males) and so on. Here the performers are exclusively ladies. One could think that NK is less sexist than western countries... but thats not true. The performers are there solely because of their beauty (apart from their talent). They are sexualised beings. I am wondering if the composers of the lyrics and music track are also stunning women.
Not gonna lie, the song was a bop, kind of sounds like 70s music to me 🥰🥰🥰
They are the blackpink of North Korea South Koreans should listen to them if one of the members ever escapes to the south they would make great kpop idols 🇰🇵🇰🇷
Don't. Just stop.
I'm kind of tired of seeing these comments. They are their own people and nothing like blackpink lmfao.
False. Blackpink makes good music,this group makes elevator music...
I'm sure these beautiful singers if they are not in North Korea. They will be come very famous singers or winning American got talent
That is one of the few songs that they have done that I agree with. To a point.
Why are these things always so catchy?
They’re supposed to be
Catchy? I was falling asleep to this...
Watching from Old Harbour Jamaica.
The threat of sudden and painful death, is a great teacher! They sing for the benefit of their country.
No one:
Kids educational songs in the US: 0:00
What about Sesame Street?
It's the fear that a few social policies (the kind that most of Europe has) is a road to becoming somewhere like North Korea that holds the US back.
@@GafftheHorse: Instead of "holds the US back," I'd say "Has slightly slowed the US down."
Most politicians dream of the kind of power Kim has.
@@KutWrite Maybe, but that's 'cause 'power attracts the corruptible', and a lot of politicians come from moneyed backgrounds and regard a role in government as a path to greater wealth and power in the worst cases, and as a way to make a legacy for their name in less serious. Neither are thinking of the best for the average population.
@@GafftheHorse: True.
But for our allowing governments to steal from and even kill us with impunity, that's the kind of person who wants to run it.
What is so fascinating is that the North Korean people have so much talent that gets squandered by the Kim regime. This is an incredibly talented, all female band. They could be world famous. But instead they are used to sing propaganda songs.
All you Asian people are awesome, i can't live without you, i think you're the real Christians, your kid's are so cute i pray you get along with each others ❤️
0:42 "every moment is precious" omg that side roll goddamn a little sass in here
I would love to see these talented ladies playing and singing for their own joy. The suppression of joy is one of the great tragedies of our time.
They are all very talented! It's so sad that they aren't free to sing any song they want. They would probably be very famous.
When it comes to the Moranbong Band, my favourite song and their most interesting performance.
Song about studying when they have no freedom of information lol
@hits*academic sad thing is it’s impossible to have an accurate idea of how many villagers are redpilled. It could be only a few or the majority, but without ability to communicate they have no hopes of rising up
And some people in the West want *more* censorship today hahaha
I can't help but think what kind of abuse all these ladies went through to put on this performance. Like if someone played a sour note or missed a dance step or whatever, would they be called traitors?
It’s so sad that in 2021 an entire nation can be enslaved
Sounds like a combination of KPOP, Soviet, 70s disco, 50s music and 80s music.
Troubling, considering most are struggling just to stay alive...
absolutely incredible
how's this comment from 3 days ago?
@@savaniplayz7106 thats what i thought
What-
How the frick
@@savaniplayz7106 maybe a patreon
You are so fearless and awesome for showing us the truth;-))
The girl on guitar looks like she's genuinely enjoying herself
Love how this video comes up on my recommendation while I’m supposed to be studying. Okay, Yeonmi, I’ll study 😭😭 but after just ONE more video, I promise 🤧
Interesting
How do you get all these shows?
Yeonmi are they singing to elite group only? The village personal don't get invited to attend. They are both good looking and talent. Stay safe and take care. Love 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Their performance is only to Kim Jong-un and the top elite. They are a part of Pleasure Squad groups to satisfy Kim
@@YeonmiParkOfficial Yeonmi surely you know that’s not true right? They’ve performed outside of Pyongyang for average citizens before. You can find short interview clips of their tour experience here on TH-cam.
It's been a while since I have heard and seen a clean song.
Let's study how to build a new country
Umm democracy
This is great!! Thank you for showing us a real K pop band, one that actually plays its own instruments rather than a bunch of mindless divas in a choreographed performance to tracks pre-recorded by a group of studio musicians.
My first reaction to listening to this was that it didn't seem like a bad message. A bit odd, not something people would usually sing about, but not necessarily a bad thing to promote. Then I started to appreciate that they likely to not have any choice in what they were singing about and they were just ordered to create this. Which does definitely make it a more eerie. I hope all of your people find Freedom one day
It's a shame because those girls (and the composers) clearly have talent. I can't tell if they are smiling because they are genuinely enjoying themselves or if they being threatened to do so. I just wish there was to tell them "Hey, the world saw your performance and we liked it."
There’s nothing wrong or disturbing about this video. What are you all seeing that I’m not?
I see pretty girls in sparkly dresses encouraging students to study. There’s nothing bad about that.
It is even more creepy for me to imagine these girls practicing this stuff off stage in private.
Damm bro , none of them has Instagram accounts or TH-cam Channels , they are great ❤️
one minute it's Let's Study, next thing you know they're performing Cardi B's Up.
I nominate them to the Rock & Rock hall of flames
If they only "really really" knew. This song is sort of ironic being sung by the most kept away country that if they only knew
If American's don't put a stop to what is going on...this is what we will look like in a few years.
Now I'm mentally humming this tune and hear the orchestra behind it.
Very effective propaganda tune! The beautiful women certainly helped. But why do I now want to go back to college?
I feel like watching a girl band from the early 80s 😅
Wow. Watching this feels like watching a cartoon, except there's nothing amusing about the situation in North Korea. I am in awe of the talent and beauty of the performers, but am also in awe with how deeply ingrained brainwashing culture seems to be in every facet of NK life. North Korean people are in my thoughts and whatever happens with NK politics, I hope the freedoms granted, and the quality of life given, to the people of North Korea, improves and flourishes. You should be proud of who you are and where you came from, because it shows how strong your will to be good, and your will to survive, are. Thank you for sharing your content, as always.
Sending you and all your family and friends love from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Florida and Hawaii
Them: let’s study!
Kai somewhere in South Korea: Mmmh ah yeah
This is why the country would never change: Those in power are surrounded and entertained daily, or at least regularly, by these beautiful women, while the masses are too hungry and fatigued to rise up against them.
Wonder how old this video is - it looks like they finally reached the 80s... Congratulations, you're just few decades behind the world!
The melody and music remind me of something that ABBA or any kitschy group/band/artist from the 1970s would sing - not the lyrics though! (Also I love the instrumental break.)
NORTH KOREA : LET'S STUDY
SOUTH KOREA : HOW YOU LIKE THAT. DU..du..du..
❤️
You see so much talent and all the culture that the North Korean people could be much happier creating. It's sad that it has to be channeled into praise for a dictator and his dystopia.
Vielen Dank für den herzlichen Empfang. Ohne Sie wäre ich für die Augen der Welt unsichtbar 😊
To bad that they don't put that same effort into better farming practices to feed their people and better ways to build houses like we have so you don't have to cut down the trees to heat and cook you would have a more pretty country with more trees and animals
The right message in the wrong situation
This one is in "Boney M" style.
Is the skirt/dress allowed to be so short on the streets?
North korea - let's study
South korea - let's kill this love
Lol ... never heard of these lyrics before 😂
Biased and extremely prejudiced the initial comment has nothing to do with this song. No Kims are mentioned. The audience are school graduates who have succefully passed their exams. "Let's study. In knwoledge lies all power and strength" is mentioned in the lyrics. In this message a lack of freedom can be detected since there is no mention of "sex and drugs and rock and roll"...
Wouldn't be surprised if this were a Super Bowl commercial next year.
Sarang heyo Yeonmi from Arizona guy. You are astoundingly beautiful, and so intelligent and interesting.
MORANBONG BAND IS CARRYING THE KPOP INDUSTRY
"Do not look back!" (at what...all the carnage?)
As a fan of Robert palmer music videos, I see a lot of mimicry in this choreography. Keep uploading the current events in North Korea and God Willing, that regime will fall, and the people delivered into freedom.
It's sad to see such talent and beauty wasted on state propaganda.
January 7 6:32 AM CST I saw the video. There were no commercials before, during nor after.
Western women over 60s all have the same haircut. They must have studied the dear leader too XD
And the young ladies are so talented!
This is most likely Chairman Kim's way of telling all High School and University students that anyone who dares to get anything less than a B+ in his/her exams should better be prepared for an all-expense paid trip to the Re-Education Camps.
The girl in the red dress never got a close up ?!? They only focused on the blue dress and white dress girl i wonder why
