Have you ever heard it? What do you think?

I personally love North Korean pop music, I really love the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble and the Unhasu Orchestra!

never heard any K-pop myself, though I understand it was supposed to be the next big thing.

I hope they are more capable at music than they are at developing a nuclear arsenal.

Love kpop but unsure of North kpop! Didn't even think they were allowed music in that country!

Yeah, I know K-pop quite well (hard to avoid it here!) but never heard any North Korean music.

Any links, OP?

To paraphrase the Simpsons:

"I went from North Korean rock to regular rock. You just
change "Glorious Proletarian Leader" to "baby."

I thought this was the sort of music heard in North Korea

"Happy Birthday Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il !"

Sums it all up pretty well, to be honest.

I absolutely love KPop and have for years but I've never heard of any bands coming out of the North. I can't imagine they would have much creative freedom which would probably make their music pretty awful.

It would be interesting to hear a sample of some of their music.

I suspect there's a number of North Koreans who would
secretly listen to non-NK music. After all, there were
lots of Eastern Europeans who would secretly listen to
Western music during the Iron Curtain era (Vaclav Havel
was huge Beatles and Frank Zappa fan). In fact, I used
know a girl from Croatia, who grew up in 1980s
Yugoslavia.Her father would bring them
over bootlegs of Kate Bush and Jethro Tull which they would
secretly listen to.

I do know that many North Koreans (especially the youth) secretly listen to South Korean music and watch S-Korean drama series and stuff. I think it's interesting to see what impact it would have in the near future.
