[chaoslavawolf]

@1thetkdmaster you know that they're tortured and forced to sing like this, right? :\

[69liberation]

how sad... the masks...from the very young age they already start to force themselves to be what theyre not.

[futuramaishot]

...don't get fooled...these people are being tortured and forced into doing these activities by the North Korea dictators...

[porcelainpretty]

Yeah, they have an adorable voice on them, and I just want to give them a teddy and a cuddle, they look so much older than what... 5-6? But they look so nervous, its not natural..

[BestHwanHee]

귀여운데 ...자유없는 아이들의 모습은..

[euroalbanian88]

American girl scouts are a misery compared to this

[Simon9634]

잘 합니다 . 그런데 못 먹서 모두 영양실조네요

김정일 위원장이 서민들을 모두 굼기는 모양이니...?

[jk3592]

Damn~ North Koreans are the future of robotics

[csmtotoro]

oh, wait, they're not using helium, huh?

[csmtotoro]

always smiling, smiling. not natural, ever. looks like an android. feels wierd, too. :(

[birth1117]

just too weird.

[JrSatan666]

The high pitch irritates my ears....

[joosangbai]

whatever they've got involved political social hazard, they are cute, someday they will be free of dictatorship.

[ifrit1780]

I think this is suppose to be cute...

[daeunoh3]

*rolls eyes* Im just saying my opinion. I am Korean and i like South Korean better i mean north korea is mean i mean seriously

[TheMegaRoflcopter]

@daeunoh3 north korea, is best korea

[pipaymataray]

@TheMegaRoflcopter live there so u will wake up out of your illusion.

[daeunoh3]

@daeunoh3 I agree with ya

[kimcheerose]

No mater what anyone says these girls sing beautifully. You shouldn't judge these kids performance based on the North Korea's politics.

[DysprosiumJudas]

Those poor, poor little girls. This video made me feel terrible.

[Catpain3311]

기엽내.

[Geistclan]

I thought there was a swarm of gnats buzzing around my head at first when those little mexican girls started singing

[PhamXuanNhi]

Scary as hell

[alwaysbehumble]

@TerminalSulcus

little children?

You mean gooky calves?

[sweetjanet008]

good ^_^

[Amigosdelmundo1]

Bonitas voces, pero sus gestos no son naturales.

¿Cuánta madera les dieron para que aprendieran a sonreír como muñecas de porcelana?

Yuck!

[Brunawesomefreak]

its like half a century ago, the video resolution, the form of entertainment that ppl so buy into.

[evangeline97]

Unexpectedly, creepy.

[MissBumblebee222]

This is pure propaganda for a completely pervertet regime who starves their children to death... sad!

[burbujaspy]

this whole thing looks so fake. I am not racist at all but Korean people are creepy as hell

[aeneasyang]

통일이 되었으면...

[ienjoiPanda]

[blahk04]

Disturbing.

[Shihan01011]

it's amazing how children in nk has to sing and listen to this kind of music while out of the country we listen to pop rock, rap etc.

[Tmanda1]

@Shihan01011 yes.. because watching half nude autotuned siliconed barbies rubbing on each other and songs about violence and drugs is so much better than the beauty of a culture. Id rather my kid listen to something like this than rap. not all rap is bad, but for the most part drugs/sex/violence play key factors on it.

[bananaPLEASE]

Fantastic. I think most people are "creeped" out because they know that these girls probably had little to NO choice but to do this.

It also makes me think that with dedication (forced or otherwise), any person or child could do amazing things.

[AleksandrsLV]

@bananaPLEASE This is one of the things with the DPRK which I wished I could learn and understand more. I don't even think they were forced, just they've known from such a young age about The Great Leader etc, that I'm sure they do it purely because they want to impress him. With no outside media to make them think otherwise, they don't know any better! Perhaps its the same as Christians who go to church on a sunday to praise God, they do this to please Kim Jong Il who will have watched this.

[peachbaby4]

Cute!! :D

[ronz0909]

why all of you call this performance creepy?? Bet this is something u dont see everyday on your american got talent of any of those crap show..

Those are talented kids, and you cant teach donkey to sing..

[lenamify]

nghe cam dong qua! hai co be giong hai thien than vay!

[medlinemd]

Creepy Creepy and a little more creepy!

[pCriistopher]

02:22

[ogbua]

such cute girls with a pretty voice....it's a real shame that they have to suffer because an ugly ass fanatic dictator, they treat leaders as gods when they are just creepy bastards

[alwaysbehumble]

these artificial smiles are so disgusting.

Hope Yankees wipe off those jerky gooks with nukes

[anonymity46]

@alwaysbehumble

"gooks" is an offensive term to all koreans, and I don' t think this situation warrants such an insult to South Koreans as well. and you have to realize... the people of North Korea don't all deserve to die; their dictator REALLY deserves to die. The North Korean citizens have no choice as to their lifestyle - it's forced upon them.

And also, a big nuke would affect China, South Korea, and other areas as well. the North Koreans wouldn't be the only ones affected.

[Qelser]

kurwa nic nie rozumiem :D

[3SRBIJACCCC]

Perfection is part of the Korean people.

[nicksum29]

@3SRBIJACCCC There's a difference between perfection and automatism.

[3SRBIJACCCC]

@nicksum29 You do this, just because they are from DPRK?

[nicksum29]

@3SRBIJACCCC No, there's just something very... robotic about it. It reminds me of acrobatics, military precision, or coordinated exercises. It lacks that individualism that is such a vital part of all the arts. It is a sad shadow of what Korea was once able to do before the war - a distant echo of more creative times.

[3SRBIJACCCC]

@nicksum29 So, they should be fat pigs who only know to eat and to repeat CNN's propaganda. I like more Korean style. you see, they are not spoiled like Americans and other puppet states of USA.

[nicksum29]

@3SRBIJACCCC OH - you are one of THOSE. The propaganda anti west, ant rational, anti everything CNN crown. Sheep.

[3SRBIJACCCC]

@nicksum29 Everyone normal and not-brainwashed is anti west and anti CNN. Only if you support exodus,death,imperialism and things like that.

[nicksum29]

@3SRBIJACCCC Yawn. Go and live your life.

[slacjack]

@3SRBIJACCCC go fuck yourself you bitch

[Tmanda1]

@nicksum29 im guessing north korea also has a tight hold on how you sing and perform. its quite sad that they dont have the opportunity to be as free as us.

[bert4a]

@nicksum29 "Perception is everything", one of my managers used to say to me ...

My current girlfriend works 23 yrs in child- and adolescent psychiatry : the only reason that makes sure she understands me, is that when she was a kid, she's been through worse than I was . The thing that allowed me to move on is: one is an individual, and even in adverse circumstances, it's better t go with the flow and not think too much and afterwards do your best when you're in a position to do something

[electrifieddaze]

@nicksum29 It's heartbreaking.It really is.

[Sookie0911]

If any of you actually believe this to be the norm for young children in the DPRK, you've got another thing coming to you. These are the children of the minority elite.

Breaks my heart and creeps me the hell out.

[Slawnikowic]

Śpiewające chomiki

[chusei365]

懐かしのコッピンヌンサルコ

[glipa]

Fucking creepy nasty things singing. Hate everything north korean.

[Maasdam1993]

@glipa I thought so looking to you're profile US. They are children and this song is also sung in South Korea. It's just a old Korean song...... nothing wrong. If I look at the little miss elections in the US I'm disgusted by that.

[jungminale]

que hermoso cantan estas nenas kyaaa

[mikeborja1]

that girl in the right is going to look like a model when she is 20

[MusiCareer]

@mikeborja1 zZ.. IN a vid like this its about their voices.. not their looks -.-

[ballnikka2]

North korean kids kinda look odd....... surreal even... i cnt seem to point wuts odd about it but when u compare it to the singers with same age in other countries , its not the same. These girls look like they are in a trance or something.

[vijayamohanan]

@ballnikka2 Just as YOU are (doubtless) under the haze and hallucination of drugs! You are just another brainwashed slanderer even against kids! BY THE WAY, NOBODY IN DPRK CARES FOR WHAT THE 'OUTSIDE' WORLD RAMBLES ABOUT THEM OR THEIR COUNTRY. THAT SHOWS HOW INDIVIDUALISTIC THEY ARE!!

[Sookie0911]

@ballnikka2 Propaganda. Living, breathing propaganda. Like the good little robots they are.

[banjony]

I know they are not japanese, but I am pretty sure they are calling for Mothra to come

[AppleSouffle]

The lyrics go:

We love our Communist paradise! We live in peace and harmony. We have plenty of rice, peaches and chocolate, you capitalist pig dogs, fighting each other for scraps.

I'm kidding. They really are adorable girls with hauntingly beautiful voices.

But their Communist sound system does need an upgrade.

[vijayamohanan]

@AppleSouffle : What is "communist " (!) sound system?? I didn't know such a thing exists!! Pity you, for applying "communist" label even to the sound systems! Perhaps, in the decadent and abysmal 'west', they even apply such labels to shit!!

[crasshater77]

@AppleSouffle Eat shit, brainless jealous pig!

[terbangnova]

their face full of peace... ^_^... my heart is touching listening this..

[cadyrain]

i dont understand the lyrics of the song but i was crying while listening to their song...

[ZarathuPower]

@cadyrain This is the most famous Korean song. The lyrics is about one being reminscent of his old home town where he grew up, the place near a mountain where beautiful flowers blooming in spring and weeping willows near a stream dancing in summer by cool breeze blowing gently from the south. All Korean cries listening to this song.

[GuimarasManga]

Angels everywhere, even in North Korea.

Love this song, video. Thank you!

[countrychloe]

@GuimarasManga Yes, Angels everywhere. :)

Very sweet Hyun. Thank you for sharing with me. :)

[GuimarasManga]

@countrychloe yes, when the day we reunite comes, i'd love to see them in person ;) you are welcome Vicki! ^.^

[countrychloe]

@GuimarasManga I wish for

everything to turn out to the good.

This is what it should be. :)

[dominusmecum]

Maybe music will bring Spring to N Korea, after the great leader croaks! Hope the families will find each other after Liberation! We have to help and not close all doors.

[LeeKelly94]

oh wow, they're AWESOME :)

[LeeKelly94]

oh wow, they're AWESOME :)

[copark52]

어린이들의 목소리는 천사와같과 손짖 몸동작은 곱기도하구나

[carolalex12345]

What beautiful little children!

[harale8]

i read some comments and OMG people, how brainwash and dumb you really r. the whole "free" world is walking with fake smiles on their robot faces and you dare to discuss these children)))

it sounds a little racist btw.

[TokyoFreeze79]

Jonbenet Lamsey is sooo ronenry rahchin' this from heaben. She schray, "I bahnt birst prace too!"

[EkinChung]

Hey NORTH KOREAN, STOP making Nuclear Bomb and focus on your talent. When will you wake up?

[harale8]

@EkinChung like your country does not have the Bomb)

[OmarDakhane]

@EkinChung North Korea is not the only country that should stop making Bombs and focus on it's talents, your country should stop that and also reduce it's budget deficit, don't you think that Mr. MinumemWage-Homeless-SocialAss­?

[fedexsdd1]

잘부른다 ㅉㅉㅉㅉㅉ

[mietinmiksin22]

How beautiful! Sounds like a Christmas song. North Koreans are also human

beings...but our Interests-possessed "leaders" dont see it that way. It's a cornered country because they dont bend to THEIR commandments...Or isnt it so? Yes, we're lucky to be Americans, and grateful too, Grateful to HIM who gives us all we have, and to HIM we Owe it to be accepting and generous with

ALL His Children. It's Love what gets you a good friend or a life-long lover, or

an "ally" country in this case.

[MsOtomoKichisa]

マンチキンみたい。

[baldusray]

Those are look like not kids. why so pitiful

[RosellaRo]

just letting you know, but this song isn't widely sung in South Korea...

[ndog37]

@RosellaRo LOWL

[SuperBonsoir]

@RosellaRo yes it is...

[freakout704]

aha they're soo cute :) but.. on the other hand, i feel bad ....

[JBK093]

they are amazing at singing for their age...cute/pretty too! :D

but their smiles do creep me out also.. T__T;;

[Eunhyex3]

do they have to be so fake like this... how sad.

[RosellaRo]

@Eunhyex3 not really

[PopStar2408]

@Eunhyex3 i know....i feel bad :( its like they know no matter how well they performed...something happened that their gonna get scolded for.

[alcgda]

smile is so fake....god help them.....why do some people deny that they're faking it? just because there's no evidence? newsflash:NORTH KOREA.....enough said.....can't yousee their smile and the way they're in such unison? it takes forever to ven get my niece to sit still, moreover wacth these kids sing so well and yet not be like justin bieber's videos under "100,000,000 views"

[pedomohd]

@alcgda it's part of the choreograph asshole just like the caucassian performances

[vijayamohanan]

@alcgda : And, who cares a shit for what the lunatic, slandering, brainwashed 'west'(!) raves and gibbers about them? I have lived in the DPRK for 11 years and I know what an abusrd, fallacious and wholly ridiculous cock-and-bull image of that country is projected by the tenth-rate media whoremasters ( like the shitty CNN, BBC, Fox News, NYT, WP etc; these are good for just wiping my ass!!) in the 'west'. It is the stupid paranoics in the west who are brainwashed right from birth to death!

[thevoiceofreason94]

@vijayamohanan maybe you need to slow down a bit. You lived in the DPRK for 11 years right? i understand there would be a large feeling of loyalty to your mother country but lets face facts. Theres a larger world out there and the most accepted fact about north korea is that it is indeed in poverty and we barely badmouth them unless the north koreans bring it on themselves. Point: the sinking of our broken country's military ship killing many navy men unprovoked. We are not brainwashed but, --->

[thevoiceofreason94]

@thevoiceofreason94 rather we like to jump to conclusions.Democracy is not a bad concept but it is flawed. Communism has its upsides but once again it is flawed.No government is better for anyone. it is up to the individual what type of govt they support, you like communism?fine, but dont go spouting hate about the "west"just because of what you think you saw.I honestly feel bad because i am a citizen of a broken country. I fear korea will never reunite in my lifetime. All that matters is unity.

[thevoiceofreason94]

@thevoiceofreason94 if i misunderstood anything then feel free to correct me. i'd be glad for the feedback. If there is anything confusing feel free to point them out.

[Naiis92]

@thevoiceofreason94 But a democracy and a communistic country is two different things. In a democracy, it is the people that decides what kind of ideology will "rule" the country, and the country can be communistic. If a country isn't democratic, it is so close to become a totalitarian state, which North Korea is. And a totalitarian state is seldom good, because the freedom of speech is dangered and if you have other opinions, you are dangered. German and Russia were like that, North Korea is.

[thevoiceofreason94]

@Naiis92 thats why i worry. Korea will never unite at this rate because the assimilation, the education, the ideals are all so different, it'll be anarchy before any peaceful conclusions can be reached. but, the thing is totalitarianism itself is seldom good but that doesnt discount the fact that some people do support it. some people like being told what to do and where to do it. anywhoo yeah thats my two cents on this

[inspiratationNYC]

We are same human. Why don't you think of them as your own child? Their talent? Their highly developed educational level? Little kids to get to that skilled level, all their freedom must have been taken away. We must stop them.

[inspiratationNYC]

It is not their culture. How can you call their caged life a culture... I feel really sorry for them. Can you imagine how much they had been abused to get to that proffesional level?

[matthewlopez7]

@inspiratationNYC No, I can't imagine because that's far too speculative.

[vijayamohanan]

@inspiratationNYC : Who cares for what you think? IN ANY CASE, WHAT DO YOU KNOW, OTHER THAN EAT UP THE FUCKING SLANDER PUT OUT BY YOUR TENTH-RATE MEDIA WHOREMASTERS, WHO ALWAYS REVEL ON COCK-AND-BULL STORIES ABOUT ÌMPOVERISHED`AND `ISOLATED` NORTH KOREA AND THEIR `HUNGER`( BUT, THEY HAVEN`T DIED OUT EVEN AFTER DECADES!)? THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ONLY TOO WELL ABOUT THE SHITTY LIES AND NAUSEATING RHETORIC YOU ARE BEING FED BY THE IMPERIALIST AND IRRATIONAL `NEWSPAPERS` AND DERANGED TV CHANNELS.

[redom1607]

i can feel that kid not smile from inside.

[socinvietnam]

wow, North Korean girls with traditional costumes. they keep their cultural identity effectively. My admiration!

[vanthanhnguyen]

That's we call children with gifted mind....So well presently i wish i were there.

[tonilourdes]

@koreanxforever123 They are not forced to smile you brainwashed idiot, people are not forced to smile in North Korea, sometime they smile and some times they dont, but its very common that artists smile during acting everywhere in the world... You are just another lowlife who knows nothing about this country but pretend you do and that a god prof of a brainwashed nut...

[koreanxforever123]

@tonilourdes Im sorry.. My bad.. I heard somebody said that.. Just rumors I guess.. Well they are cute anyway ^.^

[yvette74731]

@tonilourdes They are forced to smile, some artists smile naturally, but they dont

[slacjack]

@tonilourdes fag

[jonahmoffatt]

[XxKulturxX]

sweet

long life north-korea and his craft

[dorgodorato]

Are these videos still coming out of North Korea? Or are they all too hungry to sing by now?

If they are someone should break the trade embargo and get them some high end AV equipment!

[watsupzzful]

cute

[Deutschland596]

Love the song <3 You people complain but if it said South Korean you'd approve. Dumb amis.

[azza654]

oh my!!! they're too skinny...

[Nathansgirl1989]

@azza654 They don't have any food because the "president" uses all of their money and resources for himself.

[XxKulturxX]

@Nathansgirl1989

a fuck

new-world-order make brainwahs with all isnt other guy

North Korea have more patriotism as your capitalism country

[lateblossom]

Can anyone translate it for us, what they are singing?

[remotecont888]

@lateblossom these kids are singing about the "home" they left behind; admiring and missing it its beauty. . .

[alswn1860]

@lateblossom the song is basically talking about their home town how beautiful it is

[myongsoon]

Actually this is very sad song if anyone is wondering about what they singing. They sing beautifully though....lovely girls.

[LTDPoker]

it purifies my soul..calm and beautiful

[johnkim100530]

N. Korea should upload more of this kind of artistic songs than political propaganda praising the great leader.

[Mandravedere]

I find these girls very cute just the way they are.

[ayanuhito]

stylish. wish nk launched a satellite tv for overseas.

they have something outstanding.

[Maplygloby]

these girls would lok so pretty if a little chubbier

[Danny699]

Beautiful
