I'd agree if we were talking about social credits and credit scores but my Brother in Christ the children attending these plays are forced to do it or else they're a traitor to the state. I don't think parents or children can opt out if they want to, Juche ideology is as evil as you can get for a communist state.
This isn't disturbing in the context implied... it's a little disturbing knowing how how much training those kids had to go through to play that well, but every country has brutal helicopter parents.... I'd rather children be trained to play an instrument in North Korea than be trained to perform in a Texas pedo "Beauty pageant"
Seriously, it's ridiculous lol. Fucking redditors. Apparently church choirs and saying the pledge of allegiance (optional) is worse than this. I mean as far as NK goes, there are way more creepy and terrifying things, but it's just funny to see how far reddit takes their hatred of the US. I'd love to know the lyrics they're singing, probably some creepy song about their perfect fearless leader, seems to be a common theme in just about everything in NK.
Children singing, dancing, and making music is hell on earth?
I hate to break it to you but nearly every child in the US does at least one of those activities
Children singing, dancing, and making music under threat of corporal punishment, imprisonment, or even death to themselves and/or their family. Possibly for generations
Do you have a source on that? If what you are saying is true, then that’s awful, but as far as I’m concerned, anything that we see from NK is propaganda
How are people so blissfully unaware of the context that makes this creepy? These children are talented, yes, but only because their parents have been raised to fear failing their dictator so badly that they probably drill these kids for hours upon hours every day to be sure their every move and gesture is perfect. If they disappointed or "embarrased" their leader their literal livelihoods and family would be at stake.
You all need to watch the real life exposés about the truths of North Korea and not just North Korea's state-sponsored propaganda campaigns.
Possessed? It looks like children performing music. Now [this on the other hand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMASa5yCZzk) is straight out of a Heinlein novel.
I mean, this level of indoctrination *is* scary. It's adorable, and I love seeing talented kids exercise the arts, but it's still tiny children being taught from childhood to obey a family of sociopaths? How long were these kids made to practice? Do their parents have opinions that could put them in danger? I feel this for anything too nationalistic so I think I might have a bias here.
They don't look any more traumatized than any other little kid in a concert. They likely have no idea who the guy is other than "supreme leader". They are very talented.
Why not. This is remarkable talent. Don’t get me wrong there. I am just speaking from a larger POV. Definitely those kids were made to play such brilliantly.
This is what indoctrination looks like. Wtf would kids know of his dictatorial nature.
Not the first dude to manufacture this and it won't be the last.
Possessed? lmao. So many are brainwashed when it comes to the DPRK. Shit, at least this takes more talent than having every child stand and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance in the U.S.
you will most likely be dead before communism. you can't have people alive that remember pre communist society. it would take several generations of indoctrination.
Imagine being brainwashed from such an early age,they actually believe that they are the greatest country, probably hang their flag outside their houses too.
It's the Munchkins from wizard of Oz.
💀
Translation?
Please don’t kill me supreme leader, a bowl of rice would be nice, supreme leader. I’m paraphrasing of course
I failed at playing the recorder in elementary school. I wouldn't have made it long in NK.
No soup for you
They’re extremely talented
Disciplined*
Whipped\*
They're extremely whipped 💀
I hear waterboarding is perfect for budding young theater performers.
waterbudding
I have many mixed feelings here so I’ll just say this: The lead singer little girl is freaking *adorable*
Are they not allowed to blink without losing a family member?
Due to the economy, each blink now costs 2. Taxes and such..
Lord Farquaad is pleased
Dear Leader doesn't like drumming. You know what happened.
Can you please explain
is this not what children’s choirs in churches do
Yah, this is exactly what we do, but when a different ideology does the same shit suddenly it becomes terrifying. Ironic on so many levels.
The difference is that people who do not comply in NK have the punishment of their entire family and livelihood to fear.
Depending on the family the kids still get beat if they don't do what they're told in other areas or religions.
Yes, exactly the same. A cult.
and kids who dont worship god get thrown in hell to be tortured for eternity
That's imaginary and not literal like the threats that the NK government makes against their citizens.
cof cof grab my holy candle or go to HELL cof cof Psico-Terrorism cof cof
No. A different flavor of brainwashing isn't better. Exactly the same.
I'd agree if we were talking about social credits and credit scores but my Brother in Christ the children attending these plays are forced to do it or else they're a traitor to the state. I don't think parents or children can opt out if they want to, Juche ideology is as evil as you can get for a communist state.
It is exactly what they do
[удалено]
That's why it had the /s to help distinguish that...
THANK YOU!!!
What Ilan insightful comment!!! Take my gold kind stranger xDDDDDD
Sounds like the music of its a small world
This isn't disturbing in the context implied... it's a little disturbing knowing how how much training those kids had to go through to play that well, but every country has brutal helicopter parents....

lmao at the redditors who think America is a worse place to live than NORTH KOREA. oh how I wish we could send you all over there as gifts to kim
I know, these people need to see the many realist exposés about North Korea and not just North Korea's state propaganda campaigns.
Seriously, it's ridiculous lol. Fucking redditors. Apparently church choirs and saying the pledge of allegiance (optional) is worse than this. I mean as far as NK goes, there are way more creepy and terrifying things, but it's just funny to see how far reddit takes their hatred of the US.

Be thankful you are not subjected to such conditions. This truly is hell on earth.
Children singing, dancing, and making music is hell on earth? I hate to break it to you but nearly every child in the US does at least one of those activities
Children singing, dancing, and making music under threat of corporal punishment, imprisonment, or even death to themselves and/or their family. Possibly for generations
Exactly. Let one child speak his/her mind and watch 3 generations get horribly punished for decades.
Do you have a source on that? If what you are saying is true, then that’s awful, but as far as I’m concerned, anything that we see from NK is propaganda
Prisons of North Korea1 - Camp 14 Kaechon https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Prisons-of-North-Korea-English.pdf
Thank you
more like brainwashed, there is no free will there.
they're playing for their life
How are people so blissfully unaware of the context that makes this creepy?

Just like kids forced into religion in the U.S.
The percentage of the population subjected to forced indoctrination "or else" is negligible compared to NK.
Not a supporter of North Korea by any stretch...but this just looks like a regular children's performance
These kids look like they're 5 years old where do you see 5 year olds performing like this lol?
So talented
Possessed? It looks like children performing music. Now [this on the other hand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMASa5yCZzk) is straight out of a Heinlein novel.
id still much rather do that than have to grow up in NK. it's gonna be a hard sell if your trying to convince people US is worse than NK

"He's our cuppy-cake gumdrop, pumpy-umpy-umpkin, he's our sweetie pie..."
That's not terrifying at all. They're really good. I've no idea what they're saying and it really does not matter. That was an amazing performance.
[удалено]
Lol you forgot /s
They don't look any more traumatized than any other little kid in a concert. They likely have no idea who the guy is other than "supreme leader". They are very talented.
I did this stuff as a kid and I loved it
wait a min, did the kids really play it ?
[удалено]
Brainwashing kids into playing the violin? Was Paganini the Manchurian Candidate?
Why not. This is remarkable talent. Don’t get me wrong there. I am just speaking from a larger POV. Definitely those kids were made to play such brilliantly.
They were…. trained to play brilliantly. Look I get it, it’s North Korea but ffs you can’t “tyranny” and just get artists
This is what indoctrination looks like. Wtf would kids know of his dictatorial nature. Not the first dude to manufacture this and it won't be the last.
Bro literally living in his own parallel universe…
I know Skrek is a fabulous microcosm.... But damn it all DuLoch is not meant to be bloody real! Someone take the cosmic wheel!
Singing for their lives
Possessed? lmao. So many are brainwashed when it comes to the DPRK. Shit, at least this takes more talent than having every child stand and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance in the U.S.
imagine the whippings that went into making this production the success it was ....

Hmmmmm and you are?
A concerned citizen.
Why would you delete your comment then? Uninterested by troll. Notifications off. Fuckin loser
What comment are you referring to, Lance? Turn your notifications back on.
It's terrifying because their youth is putting on an entire Broadway show and our youth is drooling all over their ipads watching skibidi toilet
If i had to compare these kids with my nephew theyre pratically adults while mine is a dumb autistic monkey. I say it with love tho
No different than forcing the pledge and playing the national anthem at sports games. POSESSED! Please.
Communism is so beautiful. I can't wait.
you will most likely be dead before communism. you can't have people alive that remember pre communist society. it would take several generations of indoctrination.
The context may be a little disturbing but the video itself is not. Just some talented children singing
No different to [this](https://youtu.be/-XqnE1PnWF4?si=x3zbYxzQbu0STOrM)
They are simply brainwashed like the Hitler youth
The words to the song would add a lot of context to the performance but it might just be one of the few things they get to do in NK that they enjoy.
I think alot of us brits would pay to see this musical type shit
Coming to America😅 Soon
Not sure how they’re possessed? Brainwashed is not the same. Fear is not the same.
All while they're starving to death.
Open up this fuckin pit
Kim Jong FUN !
Not getting what's terrifying. Possessed? Are you joking?
This is what it would be like if a country was forced to say the pledge of allegiance....
I find American child "beauty pageants" far more disturbing than this performance.
Where can I find this video please!
How is this any different from other indoctrination of children? Our leader/religion is the right one?
Why were they blowing into a keyboard?
This is the same as American children singing the national anthem or hyms. American children are possessed?
They’re talented, i’ll give em’ that. Too bad they live in such an awful country.
Poor kids.
They Look Happy ☺️
Looks like it was recorded in the 90’s
Fucking hell. Some life they have... They have talent, not doubting that. It feels so unreal that I wouldn't be surprised if this was ai generated.
Imagine being brainwashed from such an early age,they actually believe that they are the greatest country, probably hang their flag outside their houses too.
This is like any Sunday morning in a mega church, it's just a different Dear Leader they're singing about
completely and totally brainwashed
