1. [+5,480, -177] Kim Jong Un's face is all red ㅋㅋ

2. [+4,195, -121] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It looks photoshopped

3. [+3,310, -334] Who's that Orochimaru in the back?

4. [+1,767, -103] Irene got to see the animal from her imaginations in real life

5. [+796, -89] Even that pig knows pretty when he sees it ㅋㅋ

6. [+835, -170] Joy not attending should've never been an issue. All we needed was Irene ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Imagine if Kim Jong Un set this entire concert up just to see her ㅋㅋㅋ so enough with the hate on Joy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+693, -59] Baek Ji Young nuna in the back looks ready to fight if he makes a move on Irene ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+525, -29] I feel like I'd get goosebumps standing next to him...

9. [+490, -25] Kim Jong Un's an Irene fan. Only she was next to him while the other three members were on the opposite side./

Article: Kim Jong Un shows high interest in Red Velvet... "even adjust his schedule"

Source: Mydaily via Nate

1. [+672, -23] He knows pretty when he sees it

2. [+501, -16] I bet he wanted to sing along ㅋ

3. [+471, -19] He was won over with the red taste

4. [+61, -8] You guys seriously think Jong Un gives a crap about Red Velvet when he has teen girls as sex slaves on tap? If anything, he would only care that he isn't able to have Red Velvet if he wanted them at all ㅋㅋㅋ He's a man who can smile like nothing happened after murdering his own brother, ripping apart his own uncle, and sending hundreds of people to rot in camps until they turn to dust. He's not anyone who you should be "honored" to have shaken hands with.

5. [+43, -13] Horny pig

6. [+39, -2] Should've known when he stood next to Irene for the photo opp ㅋㅋㅋ I bet he's experiencing a new world after seeing Irene compared to Ri Sul Joo ㅋㅋ

7. [+38, -3] Well he's an '84er so I'm sure he'd prefer Red Velvet over a signer like Jo Yong Pil

8. [+37, -1] Those reddies probably ajummas like Ri Sul Joo and Hyun Song Wol were the prettiest in the world ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ that is until they saw Irene

Article: Red Velvet, "We were shaking when we shook his hand... teared up at the reaction of the audience"

Source: Yonhap News via Nate

1. [+372, -8] Red Velvet isn't the only group that went to perform so why is all of the focus only on them... I want to hear what Jo Yong Pil thought too...

2. [+287, -68] They should've just kept it at "it was a great opportunity"... of course they're getting criticized now because they said it was an "honor" too

3. [+196, -10] I agree with the best reply. I'm personally curious about how Ali and Baek Ji young's performances went but the media hasn't even covered them. The media is being so biased right now and are too focused on putting out provocative articles about how Kim Jong Un is obsessed with Red velvet. I like Red Velvet too but I'm disappointed in how the media is handling this trip. Please mature a bit...

4. [+30, -14] If you think it's such an "honor" to have shaken his hand, then go stay with Kim Jong Un up there. You really think it's an honor to shake the hand of a murderer who makes threats with nuclear bombs all the time? He shot down his own family, that's how crazy he is... I'm disappointed in how they chose to express themselves.... words carry so many different meanings.

5. [+22, -10] How could you call it an "honor" tsk tsk tsk

6. [+18, -12] Not sure why they're calling it an "honor", like they waited their whole lives to be able to shake his hand ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+11, -0] Are there no articles about Jo Yong Pil or Lee Sun Hee... the media is making this sound like RV held a solo concert there

8. [+10, -9] To all of you who have a problem with the fact that they called it an honor... think about it. Obviously they didn't mean "it's an honor to be able to perform in front of all these superior North Korean officials"... they probably meant that it was an honor to be able to represent Korea and perform with so many great seniors at a national event... It's not like they're going to say in a public interview "it felt embarrassing having to shake his hand ㅜㅜ"

9. [+8, -5] Seeing him in picture is giving me goosebumps ㅋㅋ

10. [+6, -3] Shaking hands with that pig is an honor for you guys??

Article: Irene's picture + statement controversy... divided opinions

Source: Herald Econ via Nate

1. [+1,235, -59] Not sure what the problem is...?

2. [+1,140, 5-3] What point is the article trying to make ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+1,065, -55] The journalist is baiting for a controversy

4. [+31, -8] They were told to go perform in North Korea so they did, they were told to shake his hand so they did, they were told to stand there for a picture so they did... what's the issue here ㅡㅡ

5. [+23, -8] The hand shake isn't the issue... the issue is that Red Velvet's maknae called the hand shake an "honor"...

6. [+18, -3] I don't think the younger generation these days knows what heinous things North Korea did in the past...

7. [+17, -3] He's the heinous grandson of the man who caused the 6.25 war. He kills anyone he doesn't like, including his own uncle and brother. Meeting a man like him is an "honor"? An "honor"? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I get that they're idols with empty brains but come on... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+15, -2] I'm thinking it's best stars just sit out on political events like this ㅋㅋ it's great if you do well otherwise you get stuck in political arguments like this with one wrong move

9. [+9, -2] None of you honestly think she wanted to be there standing next to him, do you?

10. [+8, -2] Not sure why any of this would be controversial?
