On TikTok, a song endorsing North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un has become widely popular.
The song “Friendly Father” declares, “Let’s sing Kim Jong Un, the great leader,” according to News. “Let’s brag about Kim Jong Un, our friendly father.”
One TikToker joked, “Is this a single or where can I get the whole album?” “It’s so dystopian in the catchiest way,” remarked someone else.
“I don’t really like Kim Jong Un but he was really cooking on this song,” a another individual stated.
Western music and South Korean pop, or K-pop, are outlawed in North Korea, and several defectors have claimed that listening to outside music illegally was a contributing factor in their choice to leave the country.
