Girl Bands to Take Part in "Psychological Warfare"

It is stranger than fiction sometimes.  Even stranger that I think it is a good idea.

The Defense Ministry is apparently minded to use songs and music videos by manufactured girl bands such as Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, After School, Kara and 4minute in so-called psychological warfare against North Korea.

An official in charge of psy ops at the Joint Chiefs of Staff said no decision has been made so far. "It will take months to set up the big screens to use in psychological warfare operations and a wide range of contents will be shown," the official said. "I don't know whether songs by girl groups will be included, but there is that chance since pop songs were used in the past." But he added the content of propaganda broadcasts will not be limited to girl bands.

The JCS official said he is unsure how effective the work of girl bands will be. But the revealing outfits worn by the performers and their provocative dances could have a considerable impact on North Korean soldiers.

Brilliant!  Get those surgically engineered freaks of nature out on the border in their hooker heels, hot pants, and midriff shirts.  Those North Koreans boys will be shooting each other to get across the border to attend a SNSD concert.

Seriously though, I do think this would be effective.  I read an article once about a North Korean defector that made it to the South.  He said he was convinced that North Korean propaganda was a lie because the South had randomly airdropped some literature once and he found a brochure containing pictures of South Koreans wearing clothing with bright colors.  He rejected a lifetime of brainwashing and was willing to die to make it to the South just because he knew people down here had bright colored clothing.

Do not underestimate the power of KPOP!
