TRANSCRIPT:
(Talks about music being played over the border of South Korea and North Korea)
The speakers have been blasting not just news about Kim Jong-Un but also, and this is true, South Korean pop music.
Now they haven’t said exactly what music they’ve been playing, but I hope it’s some of their better kpop stuff… (he named some korean singers) or maybe TVXQ, but of course, before Hero Jaejoong left, cause I think we all know that after that the whole band’s sound went to shit. I didn’t need to google any of that. That was all up here *points to head* and in here *points to heart*“.
