According to the New York Times, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has referred to K-pop, a South Korean music form, as a “vicious disease” that is destroying the country’s youngsters. Kim Jong Un and the State media from North Korea have gathered against South Korean pop culture in the last months, including films, K-dramas, and K-pop videos.
State media in the North have warned that North Korea “would fall like a damp wall” because of increasing pop’s effect on youngsters, what it calls the “anti-socialist and non-socialist” effect.
Kim has seemed lately to have proclaimed South Korea war of culture, as the leader in North Korea feels that the popular South culture is influencing the youthful “appearances, haircuts, speeches and conduct.”
