Winter Olympics: N Korean cheerleaders in 'Kim Il-sung mask' row

North Korea's famed cheerleading squad had found itself in the middle of a controversy over masks they put on during a women's ice hockey match at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Some local reports have said the masks resembled Kim Il-sung, the country's first leader and the grandfather of current leader Kim Jong-un.

Conservative groups in South Korea said this was an attempt by North Korea to use the Games for propaganda.

South Korea's Unification Ministry has sought to play down the incident, saying the photo was just a "good-looking" man.

P!

They are slaves of Satan.

South Korea's Unification Ministry has sought to play down the incident, saying the photo was just a "good-looking" man.

So they're admitting that Kim Il-sung's not good looking?

[MNDude]

I bet the cheerleaders lives are not as happy and cheerful as they like to portray themselves.

I'll bet they are.

We may never really know, but they are obviously highly conditioned, watched, controlled and manipulated.

In return they get to wear clothes and eat food that no one they know does.

Being at the Olympics is Disneyland anyway, but imagine if you live in a dreary nation that doesn't allow pleasure of any kind ...

People that study mass persuasion, hypnotism, psychosis and the like should be studying this with increased intensity.

I’d gladly take in the cheerleader pictured as a refugee.

The first defense SK gov and NK delegation gave is that it is the picture of some famous N. Korean actor. It turns out that he played Kim Il-sung in NK movies, and has very close resemblance to Kim Il-sung. So what's the difference between Kim Il-sung’s and the one who is essentially his double? Almost nothing. It is really the picture of young Kim Il-sung.

I have a question. Why did those cheerleaders wear MASKS at all ?

"I’d gladly take in the cheerleader pictured as a refugee."

If she's actually from North Korea you'll have to get her to start taking meds for the worms and parasites.

I wasn’t sure whether it was a man or a woman

All the bleeding hearts are captivated by these silly cheerleaders. Idiocy.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I’m watching the Olympics...the recorded highlights and muted. The athletes doing their amazing feats are worth watching. The commentary and hype are not necessary. Nor are they necessary to view the amazing athletes.

“If she’s actually from North Korea you’ll have to get her to start taking meds for the worms and parasites. “

She’ll be ready to adopt in 6-8 weeks. Will still need to be fixed.

“Why did those cheerleaders wear MASKS at all?”

Because they were told to. And it’s another political game mentally-ill is playing in a public forum. He’s stretching his 15 minutes of fame. The little toad loves to see his name in the paper.

Their cheers must be interesting...

Wonder if they include Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmm like the Obama Youth / Obama Fedeyeen cheers did?

If you look closer, you will sense clear overtone of mass hysteria. In this case, a regimented mass hysteria. At times, almost desperate. As if they were going to die if they didn't do it.
