One of their most adoring fans [is] North Korea’s usually stoic supreme leader, who was caught on camera leading the applause, even though he’s banned his own people from listening to the same songs. Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, once a singer herself, greeted the band offstage. But now, there’s growing evidence this kind of music, called K-pop, is becoming a threat to the dictator’s regime. A recent survey by South Korea’s Unification Media Group says more and more defectors now cite music as a key factor in how they became disenchanted with their government. KIM SUK-YOUNG, AUTHOR, “ILLUSIVE UTOPIA: THEATER, FILM AND EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE IN NORTH KOREA” [The] North Korean young generation find many creative ways to access foreign media. Especially South Korean pop culture has been phenomenally popular in North Korea for the past 20 years, and it’s really starting to impact the way they conceive the world as well as to reflect upon their own lives in North Korea. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT North Korea’s first couple are such fans of that style of music themselves that they have their own girl band: Moranbong—Kim Jong Un’s handpicked troupe of young women in tight dresses—who sing Korean pop songs and tributes to their boss. But one defector says that’s about the extent to which young North Koreans are allowed to consume pop music. KANG NA RA, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR (VIA INTERPRETER) North Korea is such a tightly-controlled society, and the style you can follow is very limited. Ri Sol Ju or Moranbong band members are our only permitted role models. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Kim’s regime forbids the influx of any foreign media content unless it’s heavily censored, but still, it gets in. Hyun Lee defected from North Korea five years ago. The son of a top financial official for Kim’s regime, Lee had access to South Korean K-pop, which was smuggled in by friends, while he lived in North Korea. He says any young North Korean hearing South Korean K-pop for the first time is struck by the difference. What does that music have that their music does not have? HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR So, North Korean music doesn’t have any emotion and [or] feeling[s] of love and then, their freedom of society, but South Korean music emphasizes emotion [and] love. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Hyun Lee says the tide of K-pop is so enormous and the black market for the music and videos is so strong, even young people still inside North Korea know about “Gangnam Style,” the song by the artist PSY that was the first YouTube video ever to reach a billion views. But it’s a tide Kim Jong Un is trying to hold back. Analysts say North Korea’s crackdown on the consumption of K-pop by its citizens has intensified under Kim. Defectors say there’s a feared unit of Kim’s security services called Group 109—a roving group of operatives searching for banned CDs and USB drives. HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR They basically do search your body and search your home at any time, at everywhere. Once [a] North Korean’s caught by 109, so the seria [serious] punishment was [is] execution. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT It’s not just listening to K-pop that can get the average young North Korean in trouble. One young defector told the Washington Post that after seeing some K-pop videos, she wanted to emulate their clothing style. She put on a pair of jeans, she said, and went to a local market. She said authorities there made her take the jeans off right there, and they burned them right in front of her. CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 這是個出人意料，且對許多北韓人來說很刺眼的景象：一支在南韓和全球各地都大受歡迎，名為Red Velvet的樂團，受邀於二○一八年春天在平壤的一群菁英觀眾面前表演。其中一個對他們最為傾心的粉絲就是通常不苟言笑的北韓最高領導人，鏡頭捕捉到他帶領大家鼓掌，不過他卻禁止自己的人民聽相同的歌曲。 金正恩和他的妻子李雪主在表演結束後接見了該樂團，李雪主本人曾是名歌手。但是現在有愈來愈多證據顯示，這一類稱作韓國流行音樂的音樂，對這位獨裁者的政權而言漸漸成為一項威脅。 日前一項由南韓的統一媒體集團所進行的調查指出，現在有愈來愈多的脫北者說音樂是他們對政府感到幻滅的一個關鍵因素。 《飄渺的烏托邦：北韓的戲劇、電影和日常表演》作者 金淑雲（音譯） 北韓的年輕一代找到很多有創意的方法接觸外國媒體。過去二十年來，南韓流行文化在北韓受歡迎得不得了，而這確實已經開始影響北韓人對這個世界的認知，以及反思他們自己在北韓的生活。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 北韓的第一夫妻本身是那類音樂的熱衷粉絲，因此他們組了自有的女子樂團：牡丹峰，也就是金正恩精挑細選、穿著緊身洋裝的少女團體，唱著韓國流行歌曲和對他們老闆的頌歌。但是有位脫北者說，那差不多就是北韓年輕人被允許消費流行音樂的限度了。 脫北者 姜娜拉（音譯）（經由口譯） 北韓是個受到如此嚴格控制的社會，你能夠追隨的風潮非常有限。李雪主或牡丹峰樂團的成員是我們唯一被允許追隨的模範。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 金正恩政權禁止任何外國媒體內容流入，除非經過嚴格審查，但還是滲透進去了。李賢（音譯）在五年前脫北。李賢是金正恩政權下的財政高官之子，他住在北韓時，經由朋友偷偷帶入而得以接觸南韓流行音樂。他說任何第一次聽到南韓流行音樂的北韓年輕人，都會因當中的差異而感到震驚。 那種音樂中有什麼是他們的音樂所沒有的呢？ 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 北韓的音樂不帶任何情感或愛的感覺，再來，也沒有社會的自由，反觀南韓的音樂重視情感和愛。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 李賢說韓國流行音樂的浪潮是如此巨大，加上這種音樂和影片的黑市需求是如此強勁，就連仍在北韓境內的年輕人都知道〈江南風格〉，那首由藝人PSY演唱的歌曲是史上首支達十億次點閱的YouTube影片。但這是股金正恩正設法壓制的浪潮。 分析師指出，在金正恩政權下，北韓對其人民消費韓國流行音樂的取締增強了。脫北者說，金正恩有個令人喪膽、叫作一○九小隊的安全勤務單位，那是一個機動式的行動小組，專門搜尋遭禁的CD和隨身碟。 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 基本上他們會隨時隨地搜你身和到你家翻箱倒櫃。一旦有北韓人被一○九小隊抓到，嚴重的懲罰是處決。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 會讓北韓一般年輕人惹禍上身的不是只有聽南韓流行音樂而已。一名年輕的脫北者告訴《華盛頓郵報》，她在看過一些韓國流行音樂的影片之後，想要仿效他們的穿著風格。她說她穿上一條牛仔褲去到當地的一個市場。她說地方當局逼她當場脫掉牛仔褲，然後當她的面把褲子給燒了。
