Set up by Chunhun, a woman in her 20s, she and her friends recreate performances of North Korea's all-female Moranbong band - a pop group handpicked by Kim Jong-un himself. They also dress up in look-alike uniforms, share North Korean food and go over their dance steps, ready for performances in public. The women have been accused of being spies for, or defectors from, the reclusive country, and have been harassed on social media.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/north-koreas-female-fan-club-11454430[/url] TIL There are North Korean weeaboos

[QUOTE=butre;52885122]this is a complete stab in the dark but it might be one of those joke idol groups like bbg48, just a whole hell of a lot less obvious[/QUOTE] apparently the leader of the group has been doing this since at least 2013 and she got into it because she liked the art in the NK propaganda posters, she says they as a group are just into north korean aesthetic/culture and don't support the the NK government. she has also said things like this though (quoting from the japan times article) that make me wonder if they are really just a very dedicated joke group [QUOTE]“Even if I have a really tough day coming up, I can easily switch into a very aggressive mood when these songs encourage me to ‘annihilate enemies’ or assure me that I have the ‘Great Marshal’ on my side.”[/QUOTE]

Imagine even joking about it would stir some people up.
