A five-part girl band founded by North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un are belting out state-sanctioned pop songs as part of a larger initiative to bring citizens of the nation together.
Jong Un hand-selected the five slim, attractive North Korean female musicians for The Moranbong Music Band in 2012.
The all girl band has already performed for the Supreme Leader on several occasions, including last year's New Year extravaganza, singing songs like "Let's Study!" and "Our Dear Leader!" the New York Daily News reported.
According to a release earlier this year by the state-controlled North Korean media, the surprisingly hip formation of the band is part of a new century of the DPRK's "Juche Korea."
With synthesizer, strings, guitar, and some impressive five-part harmonies, the five women dance around onstage in glitzy, sequined costumes.
The band has been called an amalgamation of classical, light rock, 80s pop, with a dash of 60s girl band choreography.
