Girls' Generation

The North Korean soldier who defected regained consciousness and his first request after being assured that he really did make it to South Korea was music.

Now, this is very odd. Don't you think?

Some of you are musicians so you probably do not think that is odd. And music is universal, after all.

Touching.

The humanity. It's totally getting me.

The South Korean government is very interested in this request of his because it so happens that part of their own propaganda is to blast South Korean music by loudspeakers across the border. Kim Young-Dung, Kimchee Dong, whatever, Rocket Boy, banned drinking and singing parties. No Karaoke for you! Oh noooooooooo.

Now life over there is even worse!

This is what the soldier is watching.  Laugh if you like. Sneer if you must. Grumble about being old. This video has 195 million views on YouTube so somebody out there really likes it. They sure are cute.

In North Korea, the major goal in life is to attain 2500 calories on a daily basis.. For most there, it is an unattainable dream. In South Korea, the goal is to attain the unconditional love of twelve pretty girls in bright outfits. Once again, an unattainable dream.

If they played "Dancing Queen" the defector might have tried to go back to N Korea.
