[Interview file] What is the song that General Secretary Kim Jong-un'encore' twice?

It is not a big news that influences the situation on the Korean Peninsula, but if you look at it, I will cover interesting North Korean stories.

General Secretary Kim Jong-un watched a performance with a married couple after a year on the so-called Gwangmyeong Seong-jeol (February 16), the birthday of Kim Jong-il, which is a national holiday in North Korea.

It was only 13 months since his wife, Mrs. Ri Sul-joo, appeared on the official statue, and this move itself attracted attention.

Information authorities analyzed that the reason they did not take public action for more than a year was due to concerns about Corona 19, and it was evaluated that they showed confidence in quarantine in that they broke the stealth this time.

However, there was another step that caught the eye as well as the couple.

This is an unexpected order from General Secretary Kim Jong-un that came out during the performance.

This is because I requested'Encore' twice for a specific performance song.

The video released by Chosun JoongAng TV clearly contained the appearance of Secretary General Kim raising his finger as soon as the song was over and requesting again, and requesting another performance after the performance is finished.

It is very unusual for General Secretary Kim Jong-un to order'Encore' twice in a performance after he came to power.

In fact, the cast members were also exposed to hesitation for a while as if they were embarrassed.

The chosen song is a propaganda song titled'Friendly Name'.

It is a common North Korean song that contains content that exalts Chairman Kim Jong-il when looking at the lyrics itself.

Why was this song?

First of all, it can be said that the appropriate song was selected as the performance was held to commemorate Kim Jong-il's birthday.

On the other hand, experts say that other evaluations are possible.

Dong-Wan Kang, a professor at Dong-A University, who has analyzed North Korean performances, noted that this song is relatively'exciting'.

When you watch the actual encore video, you can see the cast and the viewers being quite excited by singing this song.

You can even see them clapping and'singing'.

This is quite a contrast to the appearance of anger at the party plenary meeting just a few days ago, pointing fingers at the executives.

Professor Kang said, "(Secretary General Kim) urged the executives very much. (During this performance explanation), there is an expression like'after the achievements of the plenary meeting'. Now that it's a new start, I'm very pleasantly directed. "I did it."

It is interpreted that the performance of the executives has been strengthened through the 8th Party Congress and the plenary meeting, and this performance was directed to the start of a new five years.

In addition to the'Encore' orders, Kim Jong-un also showed a relaxed appearance by exposing the appearance of singing along with a song or smoking.
