K-entertainment has infiltrated North Korea. It's reported the Big Bang leader's latest solo work, the 'Kwon Ji Yong' EP, is receiving great love in the North.�

The reporter asked, "Is G-Dragon really that popular among teens and young people in North Korea?"

One of the panelists�responded, "Oh yes, with the hallyu�wave heading over to North Korea many young people are singing along to the latest K-pop songs. It's quite an astonishing fact." A report from North Korea stated, "In the 90s, they would often sing along to Kim Bum Ryong's 'Wind Wind Wind', but teens these days are singing to idol star's tracks like Big Bang and G-Dragon.'

Another panelist�mentioned, "They praise and rave over these idol�stars.�Psy's 'Gangnam Style' is a given but they've all watched Korean dramas," and explained how the K-Pop culture has dominated the country, experiencing much change in terms of politics and economic factors.��
