On June 65438+1October 265438+1October 22, local time, Hyun Seung-yueh, head of North Korea's Sanchiyuan Orchestra, led a delegation to visit Seoul and Gangneung, the capital of South Korea, to set foot on the Korean art troupe that will go to Korea to participate in the cultural performances of the Winter Olympics next month. Xuan Shengyue's visit caused a sensation in South Korea and was broadcast live by the media. In the past, media fanaticism was often confined to domestic pop stars.
During the two-day and one-night trip, the North Korean delegation led by Xuan was surrounded by South Korean police, media and onlookers, and everyone's focus was on the same person-the head of the DPRK, Xuan. Why does she attract so much attention?
The whole body has become a hot spot in Korean media reports.
Although it is an advance team, the reception specifications in South Korea are not low at all. The New York Times said that for this visit, North Korea and South Korea temporarily reopened a road connecting the two countries. On 2 1, the bus carrying the delegation led by Xuan Chengyue and the police motorcade galloped on the expressway, followed by Korean TV staff for live broadcast.
On the morning of October 22nd, 65438/KLOC-0, Xuan and his party set off from Gangneung for Seoul by KTX to inspect the performance venues in Seoul. Just as the advance team arrived at the main railway station in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, a large number of photographers were already waiting here, and passers-by and people with smart phones tried their best to take pictures of Xuan Shengyue. Yonhap News Agency reported that although Koreans expressed dissatisfaction with North Korea's development of nuclear weapons, they could not resist their enthusiasm for welcoming North Korea's "Bel Canto singers".
According to the report, when the advance team of the Korean Art Troupe arrived in Jizhong Gymnasium by bus on the 22nd, a citizen group leader shouted "Warm welcome in the name of the nation". Hyun Sung-yueh used to show people only with a faint smile in front of the Korean people, but this time she smiled and waved her gloved left hand to the welcoming people. Before leaving Gangneung for Seoul, facing the onlookers, Xuan once said to the Koreans around him, "Seeing that Gangneung citizens welcomed us so much, I think the performance should be a success."
The fashion of Xuan's visit to Korea has also caused many speculations. Compared with the past, Xuan Song Yue arrived in North Korea wearing fashionable casual clothes instead of military uniforms or work clothes. According to the report, Xuan appeared in public wearing a long dark coat, a fox scarf around his neck and short boots.
The report quoted people in the Korean fashion industry as saying that Xuan's coat is estimated to be specially made. In addition, it is the finishing touch to choose bright buttons on the top and gold (color) matching on the lower body. At the same time, wearing a simple wedding ring on the left hand with a shiny headdress shows the fashion of this "head". In addition, the scarf around Xuan's neck can be basically judged to be made of fox skin from the silver-gray color and size.
Xu Yien, director of the Korean Institute of Image Strategy, told Yonhap News Agency that Hyun Sung-yueh chose a dark background that gives people trust, and with some embellishments, it not only makes people shine, but also makes people feel elegant with a fox scarf. Even her walking posture seems to have been adjusted.
The profound meaning behind the visit to the DPRK
In the inter-Korean talks held earlier this year, Hyun Song Yue, a member of the DPRK delegation, became the focus of attention.
Xuan's most well-known identity is the head of the North Korean national treasure band Mudanfeng Orchestra. This Korean women's group is the "facade" of North Korea. They often perform in miniskirts and high heels, and their singing style is mostly a combination of western pop music and patriotic songs.
Some analysts believe that North Korea's visit to South Korea this time is intended to make use of its dual identity as a woman and literary and art circles, so that North Korea can gain the attention of the international community, and at the same time, it also reflects North Korea's diplomatic soft power.
Jin Dongye, a professor at the Far East Institute of Han Guoqing Southern University, believes that the visit of the Korean Art Troupe to South Korea will help improve the international image of Kim Jong-un's regime, which is also an important means for Kim Jong-un to pursue his foreign policy, and improving the external image of North Korea is also one of the main tasks for North Korea to participate in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
In addition, according to media analysis, compared with men, women dressed in casual clothes have stronger affinity and are more likely to impress the Korean people, and strengthening non-governmental exchanges with South Korea is also a major purpose of North Korea's participation in the Olympic Games. Korean artists represented by Hyun Sung-yueh are obviously very popular in South Korea, not only for artistic reasons, but also to safeguard national feelings.
Some analysts pointed out that if the DPRK and the ROK can smoothly increase non-governmental exchanges, it will not only improve bilateral relations. More importantly, bringing a large amount of foreign exchange to North Korea is also an important means for Kim Jong-un to ease the pressure of sanctions, which may be the biggest purpose of Kim Jong-un's trip.
You are so beautiful.
