North Korean Song: Let’s Study (배우자)

“Let’s Study for Choson”

Time flows on without rest

So don’t look back and treasure each minutes and second like gold

Let’s study, let’s study for my country

Let’s study, let’s study for tomorrow

Let’s make a paradise in our own way 

 

This song has recently been covered by the newly formed Moranbong Band. Despite the attention received by their glittery outfits, short skirts, and jewelry, many of the dance moves remain variations on old themes.

Below is the Moranbong version of “Let’s Study”.

I’m still waiting for “Military-First Generation” (선군시대) as a northern rival to the south’s “Girls Generation” (소녀시대).
