A Notable Change in North Korean Cultural Propaganda
|
Seunghee Ha, Professor at Dongguk University, has analyzed that the lyrics of recent North Korean songs have shifted from 'our country' to 'my country.' She interprets this as a result of a change in strategy by the North Korean authorities, who now appeal to individuals' emotions rather than to their sense of loyalty through collective slogans. However, Professor Ha suggests that this strategy indirectly reinforces the political system and cult of personality by encouraging personal love for the country. |
