South Korean Rock Show in North Korea

This is South Korean rock group Shinhwa. They are very popular in South Korea and also in China and some South East Asian countries.


These screen grabs are from a video of a concert held in North Korea.

I couldn’t believe that North Korea allowed such seemingly western influenced band to play in front of North Koreans. The caption does say that the show was held in Pyongyang.

Occasionally the video zooms into the well dressed and sober audience. The audience reaction is priceless.

The women are all dressed in traditional hanbok and most of the faces look as if they don’t approve of such music.

The woman in the left seems interested while the women on the right is probably glad that she didn’t bring her kids along.
