How did SK's entertainment delegation do in NK? Did Zico, Ailee, Ali and the magician perform? If so, how come no footage is available. They did perform in front of KJU on the evening of their arrival. No footage available yet except for Ali at Mt. Baekdu

But Ali (blonde hair) sang under poor acoustic conditions on a windy mountaintop and performed well. She belted out "Jindo Arirang" which is the regional version of Arirang that's known all over the world. KJU seems to be fascinated by her performance
Why sing Jindo Arirang? Because the plain vanilla version is too bland. It's like singing, "See Spot Run. Run Run Run." Doesn't quite deliver the tonal and plaintive quality in the vernacular. You're supposed to make up new lines when you get to the end
Someone captured rapper Zico perform in front of NK elites. Members of NK orchestra gathered are still as statues while Zico tries to introduce hip hop to Pyongyang. They apparently just stared and stared: "They really didn't know how to react to his act"
The guy being interviewed above re Zico is the 3rd son of KDJ who served 3 years in jail for bribery involvement: "They seemed to be under a bit of stress and wondering how they should respond. They're just not used to it. It must have seemed bizarre. Wasn't easy for Zico either"
