I don't know who to feel worse for, these kids forced to practice useless skills, or kids out in the countryside starving and working in place of an ox they don't have. PS, keep it coming Peter, it's fascinating if nothing else
It really is so dystopian isn’t it! Honestly my fiancé and I sit for hours watching this stuff just in complete shock. So bizarre, I couldn’t imagine what they’re going through over there
from what i learned from a documentary film. in north korea the government will take children when they hit 2 yo, put them in school facility not allowed to meet their parents until they grow up and ready to join society. imagine a world without child roaming around and causing you a problem
100000X these kids. The kids in the country side are automatically lower status. To live in 평양 at all, the capital, you need to be a certain rank. There are 40 social classes and then sub social classes, depending on your relation to Kim's party... the "Democratic "workers" party". It's awful.
The dystopian part is there for sure, let's not be too high on our horses. Just check a kids beauty pageant from the US - I'd argue those kids go through comparable levels of abuse (even if it's different in nature). Life mostly sucks, most people are assholes :D these kids are at least well fed by NK standards.
I mean this is really impressive, very advanced skills by such young folks. Tho it's hard to not assume the worse by they way they are trained on this.
Although the talent is amazing, this is the creepiest and scariest thing I've seen. If you look closely into those children's eyes past the fake smiles there is a real fear coming through as if letting you know they are performing for their lives.
Hi Peter! Thank you for posting all the North Korean content for all of us to see. It's nice to have an inside look at what type of media they produce.
@ThermK.Scissorpunch-gd4yf Jesus christ did you AI that answer? There is no traditional korean key of music the same we we associate certain chord progressions with Japan like the IV-V-I-vi progression (which is originally English btw) All this juche propaganda music is very western, its just not from us, but rather the communists. listen to 벨라 챠오 the korean version of Bella Ciao
The piano piece had any life in it surgically removed, if any life was written in. Technically perfected but the better it's played, the more cold it gets. Weird. The kid's poker face didn't help.
@@fmphotooffice5513 When children have adult movements, it look creepy to me. Children are stumbly, they are learning. They aren't perfect and move robotic.. if they do it just looks odd
Sing along everyone 6:54 "Even when I go home or when it's freezing at home, I feel like I'm going to have a good time. Meeting Kim Marshal Kim Jong-un Fiola I'm afraid to fly. Let's go hand in hand. Please let me know the withered road, Kim Jong-un and Yamada, who is Jaoshi are wating for me. As my heart grows, will that day get closer? The acknowledged monsoon is not in my arms. I hold you and love you every day. Ah the enemy I hug Yamada and live with him I hold him and live with him every day."
Hollywood exploits the youth, sure, but folks in that industry would be sued & imprisoned on sight if they emotionally & mentally destroyed a small child just to be “perfect” on Sesame Street.
@@miwwie1504 I think OP is referring to the juggling routine at 3:30, though I'm leaning more toward them just being very focused on their routine. That is a lot to process and remember for small children. The spinning pot girl was much more confident.
I can just imagine you showing this to a 5 y/o like “Little Jun can juggle with his brother onstage under intense life threatening pressure and you can’t even add 2+1? Disgraceful” 😂
To anyone criticizing them, please just remember you’re talking about children. Children who can disassemble and reassemble an AK-47 so tread carefully!
It's so freaking SAD what they are doing to the kids there. It's like South Korea times 100. At least in South Korea you don't have to succeed to live. In South Korea you might be scolded by your parents and friends, but in North Korea your life is literally on the line to perform.
" At least in South Korea you don't have to succeed to live" you kinda have to, the SK culture is trash (culture, not beople, sry my english is bad,i hope u know what i mean).
@@DubElementMusic Nah... There's tons of people who work different jobs and haven't made it big. In North Korea you can literally get sent away if you fail. If you are picked to sing the anthem and you fail, then you can lose your rank, of which there are 40. There are 40 social ranks and then sub ranks that differ depending on your loyalty to the party. In South Korea it's just competitive and materialistic but you don't get ruined for failing.
@@DubElementMusic It's not depressing in the West? Dude it's the same sht everywhere. It's just Korea has that aspect in their culture for a thousand years for being invaded over and over again. They became survivalists and perfectionists. It's also a very small country.
@@DubElementMusic I'm curious though... Why else did it suck for you? Besides Korean competitive culture and perfectionism, materialism. Were people mean to you? What happened? Seems cool to me. I'd rather be in Korea than freaking New York.
This is really looks like freaking Death Note episode it`s like ideal world of Agami Light, i dont why but it`s looks very creepy for me it`s like algoritm world you know....
they probably convince themselves it's real as when you live your whole life in a place where you have no idea and no way to know what is real and what isnt, you pretend its real for sanity
this show with all the kids is very creepy. There is nothing here that indicates that the kids like being here preforming. Its as if they are performing to survive, and that if they make mistakes its over for them .
I honestly don't think its very probable that they/their families will be killed or detained for messing up once, they may be threatened or put off. But the kids definetly went through a lot of useless and harsh training and possibly suffered abuse.
Those poor children, they all look so scared of putting a foot wrong, especially the little girl in the pink dress. If he (Kim Jong Un) changed his vile ways and actually helped his people, he would find all adulation to be genuine.
@@officerdonut7066 Girl everyone, everywhere, everyday does that. Unlike China and NK, the rest of the world don’t live in an absolute violent dictatorship where you could get killed for even questioning a politician.
I don’t know why people in this comment are saying this is disturbing and scary. Do Americans ever travel abroad? This is considered normal in many countries with kids doing circus shows.
Lol, Americans never travel. Trust me, I'm an American. We don't have child circuses here. We barely even have animal circuses anymore. So it's already weird for us to see children perform like this, it's made weirder by the fact that this is NK producing this.
Talented and cute though these children are, I can see why some people would find this disturbing. It’s too perfect, too saccharine and schmaltzy. I’d say the best stuff to come from the peninsula is often from KBS, SBS and Channel A.
This whole socialist stae somehow feels familiar to my country Libya which is still wrecking from a lot of stuff including a corrupt government and 2 civil wars.But it isnt this bad this is just reminiscent if you can say
The only television channel in the world with NO ADS
because the whole thins is literally a ad xD
PBS?
Silly comment. And false
@@DubElementMusic ?
I mean, what would they advertise? Famine?
I came for spinning pot girl, and was very impressed. This was the best episode of north korea's got talent I ever saw !!
Spinning Pot Girl danced like her life depended on it...Oh wait, maybe it did.
I bet it does less so compared to the dependence of american cancer patient's life on his medical insurance.

They definitely don't let any of the presets on their Casio keyboard go to waste.

So glad to see the announcer lady in pink is still alive!

I'm worried if they did something to make them perfectly coordinated.

Hi Peter! Thank you for posting all the North Korean content for all of us to see. It's nice to have an inside look at what type of media they produce.
I think these kids are amazing. Love the music, the choreography, and just the raw talent.
What an amazing performance!
Whew! For not dropping a yellow ball while juggling, my family WON'T have its monthly ration of oats cut by 50%. I'm a lucky boy!
All my life has lead up to this point
All their lives led up to this point too 😂
Oh wow, they’ve stepped up their game. They know we’re all watching😂😂
8:24 Kim jong un
Aghhhhhhh
@@Joshua429that has honestly been stuck in my head all week😂
@@kyliedack I got the time stamp wrong just a lil tho lol but lol
The only country on earth with its own child circus.
Russia has one.
Oh my. Those four little girls in blue are like The Shining twins multiplied into extra existential horror.
Well, most of those kids are from elite families, so I guess they have a better life than most of the population...
They are even sorted from rich to poor. Recognized by their "fatness" or lack thereof. ☆⌒(*＾-゜)
I honestly find these performances by young children disturbing, how much abuse they would’ve gone through to perform that perfectly
A lot
Less than at Epstein Island. 😁
"how much abuse they would’ve gone through to perform that perfectly"
yes
Serious. That’s what I think about too
Get lost please. Nothing is enough for you mentally ill. See some kids that can hula hoop and you're making stories about abuse...
It's creepy and all songs sound the same. It's like they have one single song.
yea kim only likes minor
@ThermK.Scissorpunch-gd4yf Sounds like they are stuck in the 70/80's. Nah that's not it, might be part of it but most likely terrible composers.

I found this quite unsettling. Yes they are amazing performers. But what was the cost to the children who were drilled every day, all day?
Imagine all the torture those children went through for this entertainment. Hollywood is horrible Imagine what goes on there
Hollywood exploits the youth, sure, but folks in that industry would be sued & imprisoned on sight if they emotionally & mentally destroyed a small child just to be “perfect” on Sesame Street.
The best way to start the weekend! Hearing a girl singing about Kim Jong Un our glorious leader!
Imagine that girl playing some western classics on piano.
I think spinning pot girl stole the show 🩰
It's fascinating yet sad because we know what extremes they are put through at a very young age in order to perform perfectly 😐
I think the pot dance is related to culture and they are showing that they are promoting exercise among kids
Holy hell. Those juggling kids look terrified.
Which part of the Spinning Pot Girl looks terrifying to you? Maybe you should get a job at the cinema with all these projections.

😂
I sincerely hope that you are kidding and have no actual children.
Good for nothing? Jealous?
do you actually like this weird creepy show?
I can just imagine you showing this to a 5 y/o like
“Little Jun can juggle with his brother onstage under intense life threatening pressure and you can’t even add 2+1? Disgraceful” 😂
This brings me to another demension .
No one is going to mention the pianist (Liberace)? - I'm impressed.
To anyone criticizing them, please just remember you’re talking about children. Children who can disassemble and reassemble an AK-47 so tread carefully!
the idea that the DPRK keeps up with maintaining their rifles, is very optimistic.
I thought they were aiming at them. 😂
Well, there is that. If they had access to ammo, though, maybe a different story.
Why would anybody criticize them?

I feel so sorry for these children - The sacrifices they have to make just to feed state's propaganda machine 😥
I was worried the whole time that someone would make a mistake. I can’t Imagine how they would be punished.
The kids sure do look scared! Wonder if this is transmitted live or pre recorded?! Thank you for posting so we can see

Well, when the curriculum is paper thin, I guess that leaves a lot of time to train kids like little soldiers and demand absolute perfection.
Spinning Pot Girl must have the Korean equivalent of hippie parents.. she was the coolest
Whenever we see these wars with the North Korean army shows, who are they fighting against? Because they never really show anything
At what age will those kids question their country?
When was the last time the youth questioned anything on yours? 😂
@@officerdonut7066 Girl everyone, everywhere, everyday does that. Unlike China and NK, the rest of the world don’t live in an absolute violent dictatorship where you could get killed for even questioning a politician.

Who knew North Korea had its own Got Talent
Those poor children, who will never know what "childhood" is really like.
i kinda wonder if their choreography,style ever evolves or is it stuck in a loop of endless repetition
After watching the whole thing, I will be checking into a mental institution as soon as I get out of bed tomorrow
