How popular is K-Pop & BTS in North Korea?

AKP STAFF

On the latest episode of AYO, North Korean defectors revealed how popular K-Pop and BTS are across the border.

The two former North Korean citizens address rumors about K-pop in North Korea, reasons why North Koreans only clapped for Red Velvet during a concert, South Korean music shows up north, and the ways that being a K-pop fan can risk your life in the country. They also reveal whether BTS fans ARMY exist in North Korea and more.
