Three North Korean Soldiers Detained and Sentenced for Performing BTS Choreography

Kapanlagi.com - Recently, three North Korean soldiers in their 20s were reportedly arrested due to being influenced by South Korea. They were arrested while on their way to Mount Baekdu with North Korean soldiers. Currently, they are awaiting their punishment for the crime of performing the choreography of Blood, Sweat, and Tears popularized by BTS.

According to a source from the DailyNK news outlet, this incident occurred at Sokhu Station in South Hamgyong Province on Wednesday (5/8/2020) night. Similar to the scenes in the hit drama CRASH LANDING ON YOU, the train heading to Hyesan from Pyongyang suddenly stopped due to a power outage during the journey.

As reported by Allkpop, three soldiers from the air force division were dancing inside the train during the entertainment event. Suddenly, members of the Defense Security Command (formerly the Security Command) dragged the three soldiers away.

1. Turns Out This is the Reason

The atmosphere inside the train became tense when a security unit was sent to escort the three soldiers. Based on the decisions of the General Political Bureau's propaganda officers and the Security Bureau director, the reason the three soldiers were detained is because they were influenced by "decadent South Korean propaganda".

The unit is also said to be in an emergency situation because their soldiers have a "completely rotten mindset" and the three individuals are exemplary soldiers in their service and training.

During the investigation, the soldiers confessed that they were unaware that the choreography they performed originated from South Korea. They stated that they learned the choreography within their unit and merely imitated a dance known as the "Fun Scout Dance" that is popular in North Korean society.

This is a difficult situation for North Korean soldiers as the incident occurred while soldiers from another unit were watching. Additionally, senior officials from the General Political Bureau and the Security Bureau are also concerned about it. It is rumored that this incident will be reported in detail to higher authorities.

3. Netizens Wonder

Upon hearing this news, some netizens became curious. They questioned how North Korean soldiers could know that it was BTS's choreography. BTS.

"How can North Korean security officers know the song of South Korean singer Blood, Sweat, and Tears just by watching their movements without ever watching or listening to the song?" a netizen asked.

However, it was revealed that there is a special department that watches external videos, including K-pop videos, for three hours a week at that security office.
