I'm sure America's vassal state is always 100% honest and reputable when it comes to reporting on the nature of it's communist, northern counterpart. I'm also sure South Korea's wildly conservative and deranged social structuring plays no role in this sort of 'reporting' either.
lol, I saw the
thread this morning. So many people just accepting it without issue. 
https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1dqte4a/north_korea_executes_man_for_listening_to_70_kpop/
ok so i think the real reddit users in there were the ones being racist 'id rather die than listen to foreign music hyuk hyuk' and the ones rolling their eyes at the credulous belief of the story
everything else was astroturf. i need to believe this for my health
You’re probably not far off with how heavily that site is astroturfed. Their attitude on domestic politics, Russia, and Israel differ too much from the average person
Dude in the comments saying this is fake like most North Korean stories but goes on to say he's not defending the horrible regime???
Show
K-pop to me is like the musical equivalent of extremely over-processed cheese. It's so corporate I feel like I can hear the execs jacking it to CP in the background of every track.
From what I understand of the k-pop industry, most of those execs have been inside the artists themselves
I'm trying to think of who would be this Kim's Dennis Rodman lmao
I was thinking him or Robert Christgau, but I haven't really kept up with music in the past 5 years or so lol
Same here. Once I got past 35 I just stopped actively seeking out new music.
I saw this on the front page of reddit and someone who said they don't believe this got called a tankie instantly lmao
Isn't Kim Jon un a kpop fan? I know that north korea has hosted kpop concerts in the past where Kim Jon un even shook hands with thr singers. North korea also produces music that is in the same genre as kpop. There was even that recent Kim jon un theme song which got popular in south korea lmao.
Kim Jong Un is a massive Reveluv and his bias is Irene from Red Velvet
I hate that i understood this
Even if real, still better than the south specialty of death from overworking
