What Would Be The Backstory To This?
On YouTube, it is entitled, "North Korea children playing the guitar. Creepy as hell." The top commenters said, "Forced to play 18hours a day from birth doesn't really make me jeolous.." and, "There good because if they miss a note, they don't get fed." (Verbatim, including the spelling)
I don't know how I'd perceive this if I didn't first see the YouTube title setting the tone. I know very weird stuff goes on in North Korea , but I'd be curious to know more if there is a specific story about these children that these commenters are referring to. These kids are extraordinary guitarists, whatever the story behind them. My toddler, innocent of the political and cultural baggage that burdens adults, enjoyed watching them and protested when I tried to switch to another video.
