Mind Your Own Business
You may stop food aid from coming in, but “The Wave”? I don’t think so
The popularity of South Korean pop culture or South Korean Wave is reportedly getting stronger in North Korea. A wave of recent South Korean movies and soap operas made their way into the Hermit Kingdom. Among them was the movie ‘Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.’ A line from the movie – “It is none of your business” – has changed into “Mind your own business,” becoming a buzz word in the North. This is a clear testament to the fact that pop culture from the South is all the rage among North Korean youth. North Korean authorities are reportedly beating their brains to stem the flow of pop culture.
Mind your own business could be more than a buzz word, it could be the a sign that many people are telling to lay off the Juche. Whether this will translate to something better in future, we shall see.
