Eurovision Song Contest is forming an Asian version of the competition. South Korea's already signed on. Having the North join and try to dunk on the South Koreans would be hilarious.

> purging South Korean cultural influence from those under 30 Lol considering how strict the NK authorities are, it's already a big failure for them if SK is even able to have a cultural influence in NK. Haven't they even [executed people for watching SK TV series](https://news.sky.com/story/north-korea-executes-schoolchildren-for-watching-squid-game-13504047 ) ? > Young people who had previously encountered South Korean dramas or music were to be encouraged to come forward voluntarily, confess their exposure, and undergo an ideological “cleansing” process. "I confess that I listened to BlackPink; forgive me for my sins, Father"

It’s hard to tell what’s going on in NK but it seems that year after year South Korean media is becoming more available and popular. These actions show it’s a problem.

They been doing this since the 50s and the young up north still escape to the place they so desperately try to erase.

Or, more likely, "erase young people whose minds are on South Korea". They already execute people for watching South Korean media - I'm sure they'd be fine with dialing that up to 11.

Sounds like young folks in NK are becoming more enamored with smuggled in SK media. They wouldn’t launch this campaigns for no reason.
