North Korea's latest launch to boost Kim Jong Un's image wasn't a missile, but a song and music video all about the 'Friendly Father.'
Tokyo — In North Korea , the release of Taylor Swift 's new double album was completely eclipsed by the surprise drop of another brand-new song, complete with an elaborately produced music video. There were no tortured poets in sight for the release of 'Friendly Father,' an energetic pop-style piece of state propaganda praising North Korea 's dictatorial leader Kim Jong Un .
The video, featuring cheering soldiers, beaming children, amped-up pop singers and an ecstatic marching band, was professionally shot and edited. Analysts say it's part of a push to recreate and reenergize the leadership cult around Kim, whose family has ruled over North Korea since the country's founding in 1948.The happy utopia it depicts, however, is a cruel lie, and it likely won't fool many people inside or outside the Hermit Kingdom.
