The minute they made it to South Korean soil they became citizens of Sk meaning if a Nk soldier tried to harm them it would be seen as an act of war from the Nk side of it all. And Nk wouldn't risk all that just for 2 defectors

The way this company is like I’m gonna debut them in the west, so lemme give them classes on cultures and - like I’ve never heard of this company. They can do this but these bigger companies can’t? Anyway, I’ll be looking out for these kiddos and am looking forward to their debut.

CEO’s name is Michelle meaning she probably grew up or was born in the West. Not saying other companies shouldn’t follow suit..but it’s different than those who grew up in the homogeneous country like South Korea which has only recent seen a surge in immigrants.

@Niki91-HR

I mean it kinda makes sense since they are very sheltered in NK and practically know nothing about the outside world so they kinda need to be taught. S. Koreans can easily use the internet if they are interested enough about these topics....although the same goes for some people in the western countries. But you would also assume that some things are also taught in school. Most companies though still dont target the West a.k.a just the US for debuting groups there. Their primary market is still their own country and the rest if they are lucky enough to get international fans they will maybe include them in tours. And if they even luckier they will end up in western charts. Social media in that regard is a big help for artists these days.

@@nasirjoneswifey North Koreans defectors aren't immigrants, they're refugees, and are technically citizens of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) according to its constitution. Plus, North Koreans are ethnically Korean, just like South Koreans, so it's different than a Mongolian or Vietnamese person becoming an idol.

I live in In San Diego California USA and I just want to say I am proud of the boys who are achieving their dreams. I am looking forward to their debut. I believe your songs will inspire many people around the world. You have my support and wish the best for you.

@@in00n Of course the same rules apply in this regard as for any other story based on real people - however, in most countries those differ for people who are already in the public eye vs private individuals. Sure, it could be done more loosely, and it usually is for dramatic purposes anyway. Eg The Glory was based on a real case of school bullying. And there have already been many movies and dramas about defectors. Or maybe if they were asked to contribute they would even welcome the publicity.

Thanks for the story.

I read In Order to Live which is a memoir by Yeonmi Park about her life in North Korea and becoming a defector at a really young age. It was a very traumatizing story all throughout but I've learned more than any Google Search I've could've made. North Korea is no joke and defecting it is a very challenging feat. My utmost respect to these people and admiration to anyone who made it out. Congratulations ❤

The headlines for this group keeps being 'North Korea Kpop idols' and I was shocked to see the support, because I thought it was an attempt from North Korea to breach the world's entertainment industry and try to look 'better'.

There's already been DPRK-Pop bands out there for decades, like Pochonbo Electric Ensemble (보천보전자악단) and Wangjaesan Light Music Band (왕재산 경음악단). Moranbong Band (모란봉악단) was called "North Korea's Blackpink". (sorry, I'm just really into studying the DPRK). There's also been North Koreans defectors who are famous, or at least well-known on social media, in South Korea for years, like Lim Ji-hyun (임지현) and Ri Chol-eun (리철은), and Kang Na-ra (강나라).

God bless them. I wish them well. Hopefully, if they do debut in America, they are welcomed with open arms and minds.

Why especially girls? And, most North Koreans who defect just want to have the chance to live a comfortable life, and ensure that their descendants won't be born into some dystopian hellhole.

Ever since I started listening to Kpop I've always wondered if I was ever going to see North Korean defectors debuting in Kpop, I'm glad to see it finally happening. I usually pretty much only listen to girl groups, with a few boy group songs sprinkled here and there but I'm very excited to see where they go and will support them

Looking forward to their debut 🩷 hope they'll have a successful career💞💓

this is the first time I'm hearing about them, but this made me cry. I will make sure to check them out when they debut.

Oh i feel they're going to be big idk i just feel it

Thank you for this story❤❤❤❤ I can't wait to see them debut❤❤❤

I’m excited to see what they can do and also a little nervous for them. We’ve already seen how political and xenophobic K-pop fans & media outlets can be towards foreign idols especially K-pop idols of Chinese & Japanese Nationality. I hope the company can keep them protected and secured from that negativity.

This definitely seems to be an amazing and inspiring story. I’m hopeful they will be treated decently. I pray they will be supported, treated respectfully and protected. I also hope that they will be sincerely welcomed by ALL. I will try to support their debut and future musical projects. 🙆🏻‍♀️🙏🏽

I will be tuning in that’s so cool! I really like Kenny on Asia Super Young

Bless their hearts. Looking forward to the group's debut.

I hope one day both the Koreas- North and South emerges into one single country.

When I read the title I thought they are still living in North Korea. That would be a real surprise, but then, I can't imagine a North Korean group without Kim Jong Un as the face, center, main vocal and, of course, leader of the group (not so sure about the main dancer, though).

I hope their debut goes without a hitch. Super proud of them for breaking the mold and debuting as a N.K. Kpop artists. I know its going to either go super well or super badly. I hope its the super well. If they do debut in the US I am sure they will gain a lot of fans because we tend to support the underdogs in things. Knowing the ones who struggled the hardest can produce the best results.

Wish them a very great future ahead and I really hope the obsessed fans don't get under their skin.
