Moranbong Band - Burning wish (불타는 소원)

모란봉악단 - 불타는 소원 Music: Jong Chun-il (정춘일) 2012 Lyrics: Hwang Song-ha (황성하) Vocal solo: Kim Yu-kyong (김유경) Saxophone solo: Choe Jong-im (최정임) Recorded: Mokran Video DPRK Here Kim Yu-kyong sings about how the hard work labor put on marshal Kim Jong-un might have influences on his health. To a westerner these personal concerns about a political leader might seem strange but the idea that the leader takes care of his people and they in return take care of their leader goes deep into the culture. This is pure Confucianism which still plays an important role in north Korean society. And, if you doubt the band’s sincerity about this, just watch how the violinist Sonu Hyang-hui silently sings along right at the beginning. She wouldn’t do that if she thought the lyrics were rubbish.
