my first ever shinhwa post! =D i saw this vid while searching for dbsk vids to download. (for the record, i havent listened to any shinhwa song. i only like shin hye sung's the island). it's a performance of Shinhwa in *drum roll* *tananannan* in North Korea =D well, they're from the south so performing in the north is something else! haha it was really something else considering the reaction of the audience =D Shinhwa is a well-known boyband all over asia and even in the west and to be accepted this way by the audience must be sooooo memorable for them XD see the vid below to know what i mean hekhek this happened just last year, 2006 i think. the men are wearing suit and the women are in their traditional korean costume. i dont know much about their history but the north probably would want to preserve the korean culture while the south accepted more of the western influence. (btw, baby vox performed there too) the songs performed were handpicked by the north korean party to especially check on the lyrics.
i wonder what they [audience] were told before the performance. no offense meant but i find their reaction weird. i always believe that music can break any physical boundaries but this video proved me wrong :( but iv'e read that north korea is a communist country and they don't really like western music. they only have a certain genre which is the traditional korean music.
maybe the audience thought:
1.) ohh that's Shinhwa! they're not that special. they just dress the same with our men!
2.) errr i can dance better than that!
3.) haha he's wearing a suit and a cap! what kind of fashion is that! O____O
4.) they should'nt move so fast. i cant see their pretty faces LOLLL
5.) DAMN IM TOO LOST FOR WORDS! THEY'RE GREAT! I CAN'T EVEN MOVE MYSELF! NOT EVEN MY HANDS! =D
