Kim Jong Un, a popular North Korean leader, is praised as a “friendly parents” and “great innovator,” according to a North Korean propaganda song that has become a viral.
Seoul’s press regulator said the music videos, which has become a hit on TikTok since its launch in April, is a violation of the country’s National Security Act.
Seoul’s Korea Communications Standards Commission said in a statement on Monday that” the song idolizes Kim Jong Un and accolades and glorifies him.”
The Security Act penalizes behavior and speeches in favor of the government and blocks entry to the North’s authorities websites and press.
The commission announced that the committee had block twenty-nine variations of the Friendly Father audio video, but it would not provide specific instructions on how that would be done. The choice was prompted by a demand from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, it added.
The film, which was posted on a route meant to connect with the outside planet and primarily focused on formally idolizing and glorifying Kim, is “typical information related to psychological war against South Korea,” according to the regulation.
South Koreans have been piqued by the looming restrictions by responses they have left on the movie, many of whom have checked out the audio video since the news. Some people argued that the video should be made available so that more viewers could appreciate the joke.
The most recent in a collection of music songs Pyongyang’s propaganda machine has produced is Friendly Father, which is the most recent.
The vivid- tempoed, clever hit describes Mr Kim as “father” and” the Great”- terms formerly reserved for North Korea’s second leader, his grandfather Kim Il Sung.
” Let’s sing Kim Jong Un, the great leader / Let’s brag about Kim Jong Un, our friendly father”, it goes.
Some TikTok people claim the song accompanies them when they work out or do homework, while others claim the song has a retro vibe and is reminiscent of older Spanish and French roll music.
Since an ceasefire ended the Korean War in 1953, the two Koreas have been tense.
They are essentially also at war because they did not ratify a peace treaty.
Although Seoul’s National Security Act protection has gotten easier in recent years, offenses can result in up to seven years in jail. On the grounds of free speech, there have also been names to evaluate the rules.
