Missiles and music: For Kim Jong Un, they go together
TOKYO — North Korea’s successful intercontinental ballistic missile launch is now music to its leader’s ears — quite literally.
Kim Jong Un was feted at a concert replete with pop music and thunderous applause marking last week’s successful launch of his country’s first intercontinental ballistic missile.
Among the numbers performed were “Song of Hwasong Rocket” and “Make Others Envy Us,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agency reported.
Leading the bill at the concert was the Moranbong Band, an all-female ensemble that was hand-picked by Kim and serves as something of the “soft” face of his regime.
