North Korea - Childrens Performance

[fuukiiin01]

子供の英才教育をなぜ国のために生かせないのか

独裁政権が足引っ張っているとしか思えない

[InfiniteUniverse88]

daww they're so adorable

[kuldkullake]

how disrepectful of the woman 0:53 to turn her back to the singers and pose...... horrible way of thinking! Just listen to the girls, they have worked to sound this good!

[EmiRozitu]

@kuldkullake I think she just wanted a picture with them? Nothing wrong with that. She probably thought they were cute.

[paulmattt]

Interesting, this video was watched all around the world, but not in North Korea...

[sebbivism]

Cute and talented girls! And to all of you who write negative comments about these kind of videos only because they're from North Korea I only want to say; At least these kids has got talents and have something to do on their days, instead of being greedy and lazy fat kids who don't achieve anything in life.

[bhutanlhayul]

Really nice! Really adorable kids :)

[fumix0819]

Oh, pretty girls, anyway :)

[vegajahaziel]

I wonder of those kids are really happy or not?

[Memkiss]

Did you notice that all performing people in NK were ALWAYS dressed the same? They're like robots, copies, units without uniqueness, pieces of a greater puzzle image. One piece is without importance and can be easily replaced.

Ok, but apart from that... these children are talented and simply cute :P

[CrAzySkittles98]

.. Didn't know they're THAT crazy about piano..

[gymnastgurl814]

OMG I JUST NOTICED THE KIDS PLAYING THE INSTRUMENTS IN THE BACKGROUND

[gymnastgurl814]

theyre too perfecct like damn

[jsnovais1000]

Yes, I support this regime, and you know what, I wish that all criminals wondering around freely in my and your countries were caught and treated the same way criminals are treated in DPRK: if that happened, all criminals that dragged our countries into bankruptcy and misery would pay for their crimes against the wall.

Thank you!

[taleofsixstrings]

@jsnovais1000 their dear leader is a criminal who intercepts food aid to the starving and preaches that he is god. is that how you meant criminals are treated in north korea? like gods?

[jsnovais1000]

@taleofsixstrings Their dear leader is a honest person who leads a country that does not need any help from USA neither from USA allies. When DPRK needed help, your hypocrite government imposed isolation to DPRK, and refused to help. You are all hypocrites; so keep your food for yourselves because DPRK does not need it anymore, and, may be you, sooner than expected, will need it for yourselves! Shame on you! If you really wanted to help, you would not need to use dirty tricks!

Truth and justice!

[jasoncrater]

@jsnovais1000 Which country are you from sir?

[planetaazulbranco]

Look the nice girl at 52 seconds!

[chunkyxsushi]

The little girl on the piano at 1:04 is SO PRECIOUS. They are all!

[EcksAddikMcAddik]

NK Tiny Talent Time? Why am I feeling a little... uncomfortable watching this? This is just too perfect.

[zuduzeye]

ahehehehe... lol.  :D

this is too cute and funny asian kids.

[bbbbbb222222]

holy shit this is so beautiful. such a great nation with an amazing culture!

[woopsxx]

My goodness, they are so cute!!! They're so formal too..

[DonkeyCupcake69]

Look at little Ching Ching Ray Charles

[scottishnationalist]

One mistake from one of these kids and they would prbably recieve a bullt in the back of the head.

[schizoidboy]

Reminds me of the Stepford wives, the only real thing in that shot was the one girl in red moving in front of them.

[juykim]

you know what japan and korea said about america. you guys are full of opions about free speak. I know it's good and all. Get your people striaght and stick with your culture and respect the older people in your family or anyone low class people

[BOHEMIACZECHKOS]

north korean children are more good than idiot american child so stop criticize north korea

[mactopolis]

The media of North Korea is one of the most

strictly controlled in the world.

The constitution provides for freedom of speech and

the press; however, the government prohibits the

exercise of these rights in practice.(just as in USA)

North Korea is one of the most literate countries in

the world, with an average literacy rate of 99%(better than most countries)

Health care and medical treatment are free in

North Korea(not here in USA)

[scottishnationalist]

Comparing NK to the USA in terms of liberty, Human rights and perosnal freedoms is preposterous and ridiculous.

Did you recieve your doctorate via mail order ?

......... Idiot !

[mactopolis]

Simply sweet,adorable and loaded with talent...my new favorite all girl ensemble...love the pretty pink outfits...nice dress for my ddung dolls

[wesherity]

They are so cute!!!^_^

[1999smiley]

no matter how much u fatten up an american, they are still stupid compared to a north korean!

[jasoncrater]

Thanks for your comments on my North Korea Video. Have you been to North Korea?

[DavidMcbadbad]

My grandpa escaped from it he said it was like a hell hole over there and was going to camp 22. cuz one of his family members stole a officers car and got shot by that officer and me grandpa made it alive though without stepping on a landmine

[rotorman13b]

Hey you almost fooled me there but I saw that jazz band playing behind the little girls. Makes me sad to see how young child labor runs in north korea, putting its young ones into show business at the youngest of age possible. How much more cruel can that commie kin jong ill be, make its elderly wax the tips of their nuke heads and brainwash them by telling them how lucky they are to live in such a backwards communist shithole .

[yuliakiss]

I just can imagine how these children are happy to perfom...they are sweet, bad luck for them to be born in NK

[TremcladClock]

aww

[snowflake1029]

Somehow this makes me sad..

[zvast]

Yes, those poor little girls have no idea where they are.

[Axmedkoole]

@snowflake1029 In the West, you would call it talent, but now it is sad?. Get real.

[dontobby89]

@snowflake1029 glad i am not the only one.i see these cute little girls and get sad,that doesn´t add up.but u just know they have to live in this terrible regime :(

[treetopbisho]

prodigies.

[skwinkle79]

omg they are so cute.

[jasoncrater]

erm, they were already in North Korea, i was there.

[lord69z]

I dony know why - but this facade makes me physically ill.

Anyone having flashbacks to the

"glory" days in Germany circa 1930's?

[iwsab]

yeah, facades suck. i especially hate the facades and propoganda of the west. America invaded Iraq to "help people" and the fact that oil was there was mere coincidence.

[ASIANBOYZPRODUCTION]

nice! talented kids!!

[Atomic440]

You have to admit. North Koreans are pretty good performers.

[dogyearrex]

well.... i mean... yeah when they lock you up and force you to do practice for 24hours 7 days a week?.. yeah sure. you should be good performers i suppose//

[iwsab]

2 b good at instruments and arts u gotta lock yourself up and practice no matter which country u r in. The west do it themselve only they suck compared to the NKs even after locking themselves up.

[LeehanSarang]

Yeh its true. You end up having no social life.

Just jokes.

But I recon music is harder than academic stuff.

I dunno just what I think.

Music is hard work. Not many people know that. o-o

[2emotional2]

omo soo cute .. the one playing piano in the back killed me ^^ kawaiiii

[kimjongil2009]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eddymulan]

communism propaganda...

[SarahLee1]

Ah, the lucky ones who get fed.

[jasoncrater]

Yes indeed...

[jamesthq]

is it just me or do those kids look bloody creepy?

[Raffy4GMik]

the girls are so cute but the people surrounding them are so stupid and insensitive...one stupid girl even took a picture in front of them while they're performing. They NOT objects!

[killbot86]

huh? what is wrong with taking pictures in front of them.........she wanted a picture with them in mind-performance......it is called admiring them, not treating them like objects......

[iCommando]

Oh So Cute

[wherethelightis92]

and they're not robots. they are doing a cute performance the same way any well trained performers would. just because most americans have horrible coordination skills.

[wherethelightis92]

ok the comments on this video absolutely disgust me. how did a cute video of little korean girls singing a traditional folk song turn into a a forum for everyone's ranting and crap-slinging on the koreas? i find it extremely offensive since i am south korean myself and learned this song when i was little (even being adopted.. yes, we learn about our culture contray to popular belief)

if you want to have political debates (and crappy ones at that) open a blog called "CRAPPY POLITICAL EFF"

[wangkon936]

Damn robots!

Poor brainwashed North Koreans...

[TheKoreanX]

They're not robots or brainwashed, idiot... They are children prodigies that just happen to be from North Korea which just HAPPENS to be communist... Big deal...

[iCommando]

Fuck your shit

[iceslala]

GOOD~~~^___^

[vj3tpride]

those girls so kute :D

[sugoiSHin]

was pretty...and scared me at the same time. ~_~

[eliasclarke]

that festival was delightful :) I'm going back this year :)

[Johny132X]

Are they all related?

[naffteri]

DPRK FOREVER

LONG LIVE COMMUNISM

[INEAS]

Thank you, Jason, for posting this video clip. We see little to nothing on TV or youtube about North Korea. The industrial west and its propaganda is to blame. I did not appreciate some of the insulting remarks posted here about North Koreans, especially about the cute and talented children. Did you perform in a festival there? Watch our two video clips from the S.Korean Peace Festival.

[jasoncrater]

yes i performed in the bi-annual festival last year, and also next year. It was great and they are so grateful to have visitors :) and....as a musician, i am able to address 2000 North Koreans in concert, not even an Ambassador is allowed to do that....

[maychen]

CUTE! In a scary, trained monkey sort of way.

[INEAS]

why scary and monkey way? This is insulting. They are adorable. Where in the entire industrial west you see a group of talented dancers AND musicians totally made of young children, majority females? You only find this unique and great talent in Asia.

[ondeemia]

Visit any church in the west and you will most likely see a youth choir with children who can sing their butt's off.

[INEAS]

Not in the quality of this Korean performance and not the vast majority of church singers are girls. I have visited many churches, they do mostly boring singing unless African churches. Additionally, there is no dancing at boring white churches. Your comparison between singing in Churches (in general) and with this Korean festival singing was strange and somewhat funny because they are incomparable.

[barry4929]

cute litte girls, what are they singing about?

[Endrato]

FREE NORTH KOREA!

[INEAS]

To Endrato: Free N. Korea from USA interferance and protect them from her bombs and may they unite with S. Korea soon whether the USA likes or not. To the other US person who posted earlier, "cute children in an uncute country":

N. Korea did not go to war with people around the world, bombed infrastuctures and killed millions of people the way the USA did since Vietnam and Cambodia passing by Latin America, Japan, Korea, Somalia and ending in Afghanistan and IRAQ. So which country is uncute?

[ondeemia]

North Korea invaded South Korea and killed THOUSANDS of South Koreans. The North and the South will unite only when North Korea is free from communism and China's influence. North Korea wish they were in South Korea where people are free and live longer/healthier lives.

[INEAS]

ondeemia; u live in the USA, so your exaggration and pro-capitalist thoughts are the reasons for your comment not because your statement is based on merit & fully true! S. Koreans are not free because they are dictated by USA policies and have large US bases there. When I asked few S. Kpreans about their villages and traditional life, they answered that the Japanese destroyed them all, yet they don't mention the USA's role in dividing Koreans and killing them! They mimic the USA in many aspects.

[HyperHowie]

@INEAS I've lived in S.Korea. No sane SKorean would willingly live in the North! US & SK are not perfect, but they can DEMONSTRATE against their gov't & PUBLISH FREELY opposing views! They can visit other countries & there are no food shortages. And they don't have ONLY ONE radio/TV station. East Berlin & even the Nazis weren't as oppressive. If u truly love Korea, u will not support this TERRIBLE & OPPRESSIVE REGIEME led by a cult figure that was NOT freely elected by the people. FREEDOM 4 NK!

[jasoncrater]

Thanks for your very interesting and intelligent  comments...

[INEAS]

If you,ondeemia, acknowledged the list I've written of countries that the US bombed since Hiroshima and Nagazaki and then mentioned what North Koreans have done, I wouldn't have considered your comment as propaganda. Freedon is when you are independent and free to choose. S. Koreans, therefore, are not because the ape the US in nearly everything including sending their soldiers to IRAQ to help the US in its destruction of this rich and ancient country. Shame on S. Korean policies.

[troublemaker1973]

Crap

[Maku808]

howd u get into North Korea?

do you need to be invited by Kim Jung-Il?

[jasoncrater]

Not personally, but by the Government OR you can join a tourist group from Beijing, but expensive.

[ultimatespider17]

omg!!!!! those kids in the back know how to play piano wow at that age amazing never seen anything like it.

[miirandaaaaaa]

soo liefff

[jasoncrater]

ja, thanks for the comment!

[XSailorMarzX]

They're cute and a bit scary how trained they are O.o

[JHPrince]

wtf is wrong with that tourist

[junkie4vids]

A cute bunch of kids in an uncute country.

[jasoncrater]

Yes i know! Wherever we went, she was there getting in the way....

[senantiasa]

She thinks she owns the whole show

[Todoja]

The Sutupid rude tourist taking a picture infront of singing kids didn't even finished!!
