What happened to the idea of Moranbong Band doing a concert tour throughout China? Here's an idea: Discuss with Hyon Song-wol the Moranbong Band selecting a combination of DPRK hit songs, Classical pieces & Western hits that have zero

2/military content - lyrically or on the Jumbotron visual/light show. DPRK hits include “Dash to the Future”, “Let’s Study” and “Campfire”. Peruse their videos on YouTube, and you and Hyon Song-wol can select the right song line-up.

Moranbong Band touring China's major cities will be become news that echos around the world! They'll pack concert halls. They could do just Classical music pieces as in the above video, or throw in their

11/own DPRK hits like “Dash to the Future”, “Let’s Study” and “Campfire” that will surely resonate with CPC members for their socialist themes.

How am I coming up with this idea as an American, right? It's just my gut sense. Moranbong Band is poised to be North Korean emissaries
