Kim Jong-Un Has Sent This Band Out to Promote North Korea

December 11, 2015 Alan Cross 2 Comments

North Korea, everyone’s favourite goofy H-bomb-armed state, has decided they need to improve their image with China, their neighbour and most important patron. To do so, hair fashionista Kim Jong-Un has ordered his best girl group, The Moranbong Band, to tour China with their DPRK-friendly messages.

Their setlist features songs such as “My Country is the Best,” “Our Beloved Leader,” “Let’s Support Our Supreme Commander with Arms” and, bizarrely, the theme from Rocky.

I will say one thing for this group: they’re very, very tight.

If you’re burning with curiosity to see what else the Moranbong Band can do, go to The Muse.
