BabyVox in North Korea

[nerdycub]

Even the singers don't want to be there. Just look at their faces. They are scared shitless.

[CatN123]

@nerdycub Wouldn't suprise me, i mean they are being watched everywhere what they doing there?

[yamum0433]

they have smile detectors installed

[oei17]

maybe the guys are thinking... "why m i here?"...

[runcart007]

so classical = =!

[kahalariodejaneiroba]

I think the North Koreans to remain silent during a presentation is a sign of education and respect the artist.

[yokel27]

I swear the reaction of the audience wad so OPPOSITE of mine :)

[yokel27]

So this is what YEH was talking about when she guess on Happy Together and she was right about the audience totally right..keke

[paulozero008]

What's the problem of the audience they have no reaction when BabyVox perform in the stage....

[69liberation]

@robbinorion wrong! north koreans escape their country while south koreans can go around the world freely. morth

[STFUDevotedSNSDfan]

Tht lady at 0:40 is just jealous she cant dance or sign awesomely like they can

[saitamaliving]

About the event: It took place on Oct 6th, 2003. It was part of the opening ceremony of the "Ryugyong Jong Ju Yong Gym" in Pyongyang. On Oct 7th a Unity basketball tournament was held. Participating South Koreans could enter the North directly on land. For this, Baby VOX cancelled a concert scheduled on Oct 3rd in China. SBS and KCTV broadcast simultaneously. Baby VOX was asked to use less revealing outfits. SBS chose "new pop generation representatives" for performing. BTW: Great performance!

[GisSlicknSmooth]

LOL. We have to understand that North Koreans are only allowed to sing about the "great leader" and the communist regime.... they mustve thought: "this is blasphemy"

[Ruzlix]

lol @ the audience

[kenjokenjo1]

Wow! Is this for real? A pop group from South Korea performing in North Korea.

Great audience they got there!

[relmnz]

is it real? In North korea?

[xDAZZE]

The men: Wow, real women.

[zephyrjyou]

Kan mi yeon!!

fierce.

[guitargeekette]

wow. o_o.....kpop ppl...stay out of N. Korea.

[jbp102887]

How the hell did they get into NK and perform their music? I thought the north hated the south, and they were forbidden to listen and watch anything not NK? You would think after the show the audience gets carted off to a work camp or be executed by firing squad? O.o

[WinterWonderland098]

i think they appreciated it, they may just not know how to respond to it, it's probably the first time they hear something like this

[choiseokyoung]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Kipling489]

I wonder if the girls said anything when they were back in S. Korea...

[Darkwolf787]

Nevermind i found out by myself cause i heard spanish when they were singing when the video begun o3o (baila baila bonita)

[Darkwolf787]

song name?

[BatasovArseny]

@Darkwolf787, "Accident"

[TheRunescapefan3]

@Darkwolf787 우연

[kcuf15]

if justin beiber plays in nk they will be like. WTF kind of music does the american imperlists lission to

[DAddictiveFragrance]

This is one of my favorite of Baby VOX's songs. Very stiff audience though; with the exception of one giggling female officer (oh no) Thanks for sharing :D

[StevenThammavong]

I bet the ajushi wants to tap that S. Korean Booty!

[Animefate]

This should be up on failblog. Effort wasted by BabyVox because the audience wasn't really paying attention to their performance, but instead the they are starring at the billboard that shows the Korean land.

[mikejung75]

LOL North korean guys having a boner but can't express their true feelings.

I know they wanna jack off LOL

[00kizuna00]

ITS BIT STUPID FROM S. KOREAN TO PERFORM POP MUSIC IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHO LOOKS LIKE N. KOREAN POLITICAL LEADERS!! LOL

[xxxNaruGurlxxx]

I'm glad everyone was enjoying themselves.

[getbored00666]

im suprised they didn't try to shoot them.

[AnarchistGoth]

North Koreans are not oblivious to K-pop. They get actually South Korean radio stations in N.K.

[eaudefrancois]

North Korean's straight face. :|

[Ortheos2006]

North korean audience: "WTF is this shit?"



[gothicfuneral1]

na na na na na na na north korean face.... na na na na (singing to the tune of Lady Gaga- poker face)

[destined2bebossy]

omg i'd love to see their reaction to a group like 2ne1.

[beatnix99]

What a rowdy crowd... XD

[sskcn]

Oh the audience -.-

[ZakLikesTuna]

and not a single f**k was given that day

[witch1622]

north korea?!



[4s0uthkorea]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[maximuszen]

Thank you Spice Girls!

[rykal100]

daumbass people there are not bored......its just because their in NORTH KOREA

[crissvera8721]

those girls are breaking the stage but people looks like bored....

[bishophime]

Wouah...you can see how much N.korea and S.Korean are different...

[countess22]

audience are not affected by the catchy song of baby vox....

[adum50]

This is really weird....... is it real???

[arvinlucero09]

audience,audience,calm down

[stphtn12]

I love Yoon eun hye!! Cutest of all of them.

[TheElleprincess]

@stphtn12 me too

[FilipH86]

the woman who smiled will go to a concentration camp now

[HoLaiMei]

@FilipH86 Thats only if she is lucky. She will most likely be executed.

[BatasovArseny]

@FilipH86, may be not in a concentration camp, but sleeping all life she will be in standing :))

[zephyrjyou]

@FilipH86

she was the same one that frowned and expressed boredom in shinhwa's perf

[CincinnatiGifts]

Something isnt right with the video: At he very beginning, it shows an enormous indoor stadium with seating for a couple thousand. But throughout the rest of the video, all you see is the suited-up old men in the elevated stair-step rise seating. Was this video some sort of propaganda from N Korea? And the looks on the faces of the people in the audience: they are completely petrified to show any emotion whatsoever. The only woman who broke a smile did so because she saw herself on camera.

[sirtalos]

wow very scaRY

love baby vox though

[tokyokurisu]

of course theyre like that, theyre shocked!

its the first song these people have ever heard that has nothing to

do how great their country is and their leaders are! Im surprised the NK Gov

didnt make them change their lyrics. I wonder how'd they feel if Katy Perry goes up

there spraying whip cream out of her breasts.

[hugoelpelotudo]

que gente mas enajenada, enfermos diria yo, parecen muertos o de palo..

despues de ver las barbaridades que cometen muchos de esos con traje que mirar a estas privilegiadas en minifalda, solo puedo decir que dan asco...

montón de locos mirando lo que mas odian, hipocritas!

liberan a ese pueblo! genocidas.....

[Dancingqueen2700]

@hugoelpelotudo Shut up.

If you're going to diss them then atleast speak in English.

[19dec1981]

i love the fashion the men display.

black suits, white shirts with a hint of dictatorship and opression

[ShadowsMasquerade]

@19dec1981 lol you're funny, but I know what you mean, they look exactly like that.

[michosso]

AHAHA the Public is so serious

[darialois]

look at the communist business men's faces : (*____*)

bet they wish they didnt have to keep a str8 face

[redfoot21]

how about snsd in north korea? haha

[superjunior1596]

this is kinda.. scary o__o

i wonder how they felt when the performed... prob very nervous.

thanks for the video :)

[DarkMoonCreations]

Just imagine if Michael Jackson actually did a concert in North Korea... It just wouldn't have worked.

[TenshiTamagoKidd15]

uhhhhhhh why the hell are they in norh korea? i would have been scared shitless

[kaykentucky]

the thing to watch is not the entertainers, but the stoney faced audience LOLOL!!

[benitoyao]

in north korea, there seems to be no kidnappers, hold-uppers or people that are considered as bad elements in a capitalist nation. they also don't seem to engage in gambling or anything else just for money.

[loveholics2]

this was like 10 yrs ago

[Changkim00]

They, North side of Korea, just need time and motive for changing their aged living life. Looking at their face appearance, I felt something new and interesting flown through their inside heart. Even though you can see the same reaction as Radio GaGa' audiens, anyway it will be not the same.

The most importance is our offering to open their closed gate and giving the chance to connect the outside world.

Because We are one.

[wingegia]

The crowd looks really unsocial, same expression throughout the song, no one even seemed like they were having fun.

[westernbaconburger]

I want CL & Minzy to perform Please Don't Go in North Korea!

[xktwnxl4zlx213]

I know for the fact North Koreans loved S.Korean styles. Its just kim jung il didnt let em enjoy the show because you will get shot after....

[kabukigang777]

yoon eun hye get fucked by kim jong ill thats why she is fuckshit if the war in korea will start i think her job is sell her self to kim jong ill so she dont get kill fuck you yoon eun hye

[Anne20081997]

@kabukigang777 Shut up !! you don't know anything about her , she's a great actress , she can sing and dance and she have a good personality that why eveyone loves her !!

[kabukigang777]

@Anne20081997 gay she is just making fake things if you know her i thimk she is weak

[Anne20081997]

@kabukigang777 Dah , im wasting my time talking to a freak like you !!

[irongirl02ify]

@kabukigang777

are you crazy ...? You love My Yoon Eun Hye very much right ...? Please don't be pretending if you don't like Yoon Eun Hye to get attention from people ... Okay ... bye ...

[MHasrul]

Yoon Eun Hye-shi ^^, brave girl u r!!!!! <3<3<3 why the people so bore looking??? are these girl were invited for some reason?

[ShadowGKCP]

why are all of the viewers in black costumes??

[moisheham]

North Korea is just mad cuhz they don't have Starcraft 2

[Ranthaar]

They don't need it, their real life is like Starcraft.

[laurayu70]

Ew no Justin Beiber. :/

Love this song :D

[POMEVOLUTION]

people looks so enjoy LOL

[RosellaRo]

south koreans are dumb. they should've sent someone who focuses on traditional korean music, not modern pop. what would the north koreans think of the southerners now? in north korean culture, women wearing tops that expose the shoulders or skirts that expose the legs too much are considered inappropriate.

[Gille87]

@RosellaRo ha whatever! The North are still stuck back in the 50's, while the south is present day! And those skirt are not short at all dumbass! they clearly got told to not where to modern clothes, and they where not allowed to sing or perform whatever!

[johnlewisy]

@RosellaRo

The South Koreans probably wanted to give the elite a "cultural shot" in the head.

[zenTiFied06]

atleast they we're paying attention

[Cheatmaster22]

Ji Hae-nam (1993–1995 in Kaechon concentration camp) was imprisoned on disruption of the socialist order, as she sang a South Korean pop song and was denunciated by a neighbor. She was sentenced to 3 years in a prison camp, but released after 2 years and 2 months...

[VIPDERFUL]

I dont get y they sent baby vox

They shud have sent finkl or ses

[alwaysfariza]

You need subtitles for the girl at 0:38 to 0:40, come I'll do it for you.

"My gosh, I want to kill them (Someone does some cute/hot on stage, cuz her mouth was like "omo, omo", wait do N.Koreans even do that?) HAHAHAHAHAS, that was so funny! Ouhkae, now I'll kill them"

:D Kidding kidding.

[Caimingchang]

BTW, North Koreans don't scream and shout during a performance or concert coz they think it's respect to the performance. However for us, silence means the performance is boring. So we gotta make noise to give the performers respect.

[Caimingchang]

Were they killed after the performance?

[NodameSpecial]

@Caimingchang No they probably wasn't As i know Shinhwa is still alive . They didn't die. babyvox was still fine after this .

[M2GTJ]

I'm finding the Justin Bieber comments interesting; maybe someone will be nice enough to toss a grenade this time instead of a bottle? I'm sure we can count on the North Korean throwing arms to be quite accurate =)

[sakgaa]

Es cosa mía o tiene mensajes subliminales en español? xDDD

[gorgeouscfso]

perfect silence...

[mysky103]

韓國和平演變朝鮮

[rosypeou18]

Sooo scary.... lol.. Go Baby Vox! Kim EZ smiles shouldve won them over@!!

[rosypeou18]

Sooo scary.... lol.. Go Baby Vox!

[adelavirginia]

OMG look at their faces...what a awkward moment for both sides...what would NKoreans have been thinking about those gorgeous women singing and dancing like that?..i wanna see what happens with reunification...will NKorean women will be sexy as SKorean women are? Interesting!

Will see, i hope soon...the first thing to do after reunification is feed NKoreans & create more infrastructure so the economy of Korea won't collapse, then more sexy shows, as Romans said "Bread and circus" :)

[hanko287]

They may look uninterested but at the back of their minds they want to pussy pop!!!

[ddrluver]

lol I enjoy Yoon Eun Hye's eyeroll at :30. icu snarkin girl.

[namjanamja7]

then north koreans would think all american women look like ugly pork

[keopera91]

That had to be awkward for the performers. I feel so bad for N. Koreans. :(

[airrunwesker]

Babyvox had to perform there becuz SES was busy doing better things with thier time!

[barbarash]

Well that went down as well as a Pork Pie at a Jewish Wedding.

[shakeyourbody246]

no emosion :p

[jannesaJMidol]

if suju,snsd,bigbang,WG,4minute,s­hinee were there,i dont think they will still have that facial expresseion..i mean,maybe they might not control their emotions for donghae...aaaaaaahhhhhhh...btw­,y are they there?

[ddrluver]

@jannesaJMidol Uh...yes, they would. Because they fear for their life in NK for expressing affiliation for capitalist SK. Your silly biases won't do anything to change that.

[Archejoiyo]

Those are their formal clothes, right? Not that they go out dressed like that... right?

[fbelize]

빨갱이 간나새끼들 침흘리는것좀봐라. 에미나이들은 질투의 광선이 눈깔에서 나가네

[dokkiro]

@JXJ1326 It's a long story. Starting from a planned outdoor mega concert in NorthKorea with more than 50 bands from all over the world attending it. It was cancelled by a British planner(strange excuse he gave) and it wasn't NorthKorea who backed out of it or 50 bands who wanted to go.

[arvinlucero09]

the people seemed bored.

[kinla123]

next yoon eun hye will get fuck by kim jung ill

[marvelous211]

Why did SK send these teen bopper singers to NK?

[afewminutesforyou]

They must have been saying among themselves "Is this what blasphemy sounds like? Glad we're allowed to shoot those indecent low-borns here at home" or the likes.

[wikipediafornoobs]

This is what they're thinking: "those low-born are allowed to sing such lewd garbage in South Korea?"

[DaFawky]

:39 I wonder what she was thinking... like, either pretending she doesn't like it... or "wow this shit is so lame"

[dokkiro]

@DaFawky Well She must thought it was funny the way singer(s) acted. She is probably bit of a entertainer herself just like all girls are. She may have imagined herself dancing the ways performers did on the stage. But she does like the song and so did the majority of the audiences.

[russianspetsnaz191]

yay justin bieber for north korea!

[DaFawky]

@russianspetsnaz191 i voted

[kinla123]

@russianspetsnaz191 no paris hilto and britney

[KoreaWandering]

The spectators are in a kind of awkward position. It is amuzing none the less.

[ThN11]

i feel bad at 0:43, she looks so nervous >_<

and LOL at the Beiber to NK thing. I WANT TO SEE

[CurkJ]

JUSTIN!! YAY!

[WTFp0s]

Justin bieber we love you! Can't wait to see you <3

[Crozic102]

lmao looks like someone took footage from a different even and just cut it together

u can tell its not tho

[rushianokun]

its so cool justin actually put aside his differences with Nkorea and decided to pay a visit to all of his fans =')

[vava54own]

Lol, looks like if they got lobotomised.

[ps3live47]

justin in korea i kant beleive ir :)))))) im so happy

[swiftmpc]

RIP Justin Bieber

[Deziky]

The reason they were so stolid is because if they displayed any body language that showed happiness, they'd be shot in the arm and dragged into the army.

[wikipediafornoobs]

@Deziky they thought only vulgar low-born would listen to such insane and disgusting music.

[NeoQBirdie]

The audience appears to be at a business meeting.

[Anna24243]

cant wait to see justin beaer in my favorite korea!

[IjUiCEl]

Beave going to Korea...so I heard

[boomhss]

omg J. Biber come to korea plz i love you ;)

[mec567]

Just wait till Justin Bieber goes to N. Korea...

[abearwithshades]

Anyone heard about the justin bieber concert in North Korea?

[CandyManCriminal]

audience = dead

[LatestUFOSightings]

All the men are probably getting boners for seeing naked legs.

[kittycat13542]

i really hope that north korea gets freed from kim jong ils rule and join up with south korea....

[RedStormProduction]

They already booked Justin Bieber for next year's concert

[lws19831207]

南韓應該多辦幾場這類的交流演唱會才是

一群可憐的北朝鮮人民~



[barbarash]

lol the audience is so wrong for this... this would be like my grandparents going to a Slipknot concert!

[zerogod420]

@barbarash

english do you speak it?

[barbarash]

@zerogod420

Indeed I do sir. Why do you ask?

[zerogod420]

@barbarash

get the fuck out of my trash can k?

[barbarash]

@zerogod420 Your trash can is clearly more interesting than you.

[elrendado]

To me, it looks like a ill-willed montage.

[watermix125]

north korea people are so sad and miserable

i dont know why north korea limited all TV programes and all network

they just have internal network so they cant search any information or using utube and facebook...thats why north korea people is so silent. they never know what this world will be.

They cant watch "2010 world cup live"

they just can watch the record version after three days each match.

why this country like that ??

[jnovais2]

@watermix125 Sad? Miserable? Who told you that? — your dady?

They are much better off without your internet shit values and without vouselas mass games in direct than with it.

Wake up, man!

[O8Lai]

一群沒有反應的觀眾

[acaftermath]

@O8Lai

hahha, Nk is so funny, best friends with china!!

[aeyara]

imagine what the North Koreans would think if Lady Gaga performed for them (aside from the fact that she's American)...

[Zoilaluz13]

@aeyara They would have a serious heart attack. Lady Gaga would be like the second coming of jesus XD

Kidding.

[MrChinesehero]

That would historical for an American Singer going to North Korea

[xDAZZE]

North Korean men thinking: "wow finally some real women"

[sherminkiller]

Wow talk about a solemn audience, why aren't there any teenagers in the audience? :\

[qqg17178]

freezed uppppppppp lmao

[schizoloft]

btw, what would martian think about this?

For any self righteous bananas out there, everything is relative so try to be careful when you compare.

At the worst, the issue remains to be an internal matter.

[schizoloft]

Looking at the blond, they are thinking "we need more map" for the world peace.

[zyf3715797]

They didn't even smile??

[jasminehks]

LOL...after all these years this video is still as amusing XD

i still have no clue why Shinhwa and Baby V.O.X were chosen and had to sing their most uptempo songs...i mean we love them but N.Koreans looked so painfully uncomfortable XD

[FilipH86]

that woman at 40 sec mark was probobly shot for enjoying the song

[jackbandit22]

@FilipH86 Enjoying? She's laughing at how ridiculous it is.

[fahrudingoz]

@jackbandit22 yeah man i love how those guys just dont give a shit about those jewish ways of manipulating with young population :D they so cold man they so awsome :D here in Turkey all morons would start jumpin around and behaving like animals..

Jews use music, films, news and that is what controls country.. its not the president or who ever... N.K. is just dream country of mine.. altough there is brain washing every day... at least people know how the system works...

here ppl dont!
