South Korean Pop In North Korea

The following is a clip of the South Korean boy band, Shinhwa, performing in Pyongyang. I found it interesting to note, that usually their fans go crazy during their concerts. There are reported rumours that South Korean pop has a strong underground support in North Korea, but viewing this clip it seems dubious. The North Koreans look at Shinhwa almost in a disgusted manner. I was particulary suprised to see that even the young people are not entertained at all. Talk about conflict in cultures....
