North Korean dancers welcome New York Philharmonic

[kimcheerose]

spectacular performance! I think North Koreans kids are the most musically talented kids I ever seen so far. God bless the kids

[IanHunedoara8]

I love our beloved leader and Ju-che philosophy. Now feed me pounded barley gruel and some fried mudfish.

[yakchirscarlson]

i was waiting for them to set someone on fire...

[jsnovais1000]

@yakchirscarlson What the hell! —This guy is crazy!... Will you shut-up!?

[Mereo110]

This is a korean (North and South) dance that needs to survive! It's nice to see!

[crackerjack113]

lol now in south korea it's all about DBSK, big bang, snsd, and all that k-pop stuff

not that it's bad.. but

[dongsoola]

well.. capitalists and pro-Americans say communist soceity can not do things well because its not competitive like capitalistic society.

Capitalism days are over already when Bush gave this huge money to banks to save whoever ass.

[princeofbohemia]

Watching all those movements in the dance makes me feel tired.

[jsnovais1000]

@princeofbohemia Tired? you, 17 years old, and get tired with those movements?...

—Hey, man, go and get some rest, or just close your eyes, and don´t complain!

—Come-on! Are you a man, or what!???

[princeofbohemia]

@jsnovais1000 First, why are you commenting on some random remark I made a year ago?

Second, how was that exactly a complaint? I was just commenting on how much physical exertion it must take to dance like that, as someone who wasn't a fan of exercising until recently. I didn't literally mean I was feeling tired just by watching a video.

[jsnovais1000]

@princeofbohemia My friend, I like all comments, even if they were made one hundred years ago.

Don´t worry; no bad comes to the World if I comment on it. You know, I am having fun, and I love it!

[jhops89]

This my favorite North korean dance~~~~!!

[AnubRu]

whats its name?

[applecidermix]

called non-ack.

means celebration of good harvests.

[sujesn]

its not north korean....its just korean.

[jhops89]

South Koreans would never be able to dance as good.its true

[Agomongo1235]

@jhops89 You must be retarded bet you have never seen us dance. Stop spreading propaganda.

[jsnovais1000]

@Agomongo1235 ... did you hear this? — You @jhops89, whatever, don´t spread propaganda!—Did you hear me?

— Now, we are going to enjoy some Agomongo mongo dancing!

—WOW!

[Agomongo1235]

@jsnovais1000 ... That's a lot of commas. I didn't really get what you said use less commas instead

[dahwang12]

holy crap, they seem to perform much better then south koreans i seen. (don't get angry at me, my parents from south korean) anyway, every single north korean performances i've watched is like... freaken crazy.

[h255172]

they are trained so freaking hard and crazy UNDER THE DICTATOR'S RULE... That's why. BTW i agree with you. North Korea has been kept the Korean tradition even better than South Korea

[IanHunedoara8]

@dahwang12 You would perform as well if starvation and beatings accompanied any manifestation of disloyalty to beloved leader and his philosophy.

[jsnovais1000]

@IanHunedoara8 You know! you have just awaken me up!

—Today, before lunch, I was feeling like dancing, and my wife asked me: "... are hungry?".

—Now, I know why she asked!

—... about that philosophy of My be-be-be- ... sorry....I´m feeling like fading! Jesus Christ! what´s going on?...

[Agomongo1235]

@dahwang12 They were probably threatened =/ to dance good or they would be shot. But I am sure there are better performances of this =/ in S. Korea that you just haven't seen.

[jsnovais1000]

@Agomongo1235 Yeah! Though your talk stinks, I must agree that, being some americans around there, there must be some pistols in hiding in their pockets, in the background!

[areufkingkiddingme]

they clap too much

[h255172]

In korean performance culture, clap from audience is a part of performance.

[ButherLi55ett]

It's a great example of why culture is such a nonsense and part of capitalist social relations. The Koreans here don't actually have good harvests so instead they artificially represent what they would do 'in real life' perhaps even 'historically'. To 'perform' in this manner is an indictment of capitalist social relations which remain in Korea and remained in all 'Socialist' states. But this is not just an attack on Korea, equally different capitalisms are forced to play exactly the same games.
