We should all strive to emulate their example.

So much better than today's South Korean poop I mean pop music.

[@trakfactri]

South Korean pop music is about selling consumer products, and to do this the videos present an illusion of individual self-empowerment and autonomy. The message of this song, however, is that the young worker does not have to sell herself, because she works for the good of her community as a whole. She's not a "brand," i.e. she's not a commodity, so nobody needs to know her name.

[@elliottlastnameblank7916]

Trakfactri the South Korean market is oversaturated with sexual imagery and sexualization of young girls turning their bodies into market commodities, the K-pop music of South Korea isn’t even very good, that’s why I prefer this music video.

[@alicesenz6374]

Being humble is a very important value in North Korea, both because of traditional Korean culture and communist collectivism. "Don't Ask My Name" is about being humble and telling others to focus not on one's individual but the collective, which is why the video is filled with scenes of the woman refusing praise.

[@lyricrogersofficial]

I think this song is about a woman who wants to remain anonymous even though people keep asking her what her name is; especially a guy who is absolutely in love with her. She wants to keep it a secret because of her family in the North. So the part about "Our Party" is totally irrelevant to the rest of the song.

She doesn't want to tell her name, because she thinks that it's not important. She thinks that only the name of the Party matters.

[@EmilyElizabethxox]

I'm glad to hear that she's alive and well but don't act like my curiosity is ignorant when you know as well as I do 12 popstars in the DPRK were executed when Kim Jong Un came into power. Not that Ri Gyeong Suk had any connection to the group...

And I must also admit this was made before the " Arduous March", the time when the Soviet Union fell started to hit hard, and Russia could not support the DPRK anymore. Before the Famine outside of the Gilded Gates of Pyongyang. The DPRK was never self sufficient, and the Soviet Union collapsed from within. The Arduous March started before US Sanctions to the DPRK. It started when Russia abandoned the DPRK. Self sufficiency... and Clinging to the no more existence of the Soviet Union, and the DPRK still clinging to the Soviet Atheist ways, no matter the Cost to it's own People outside the Beautiful City of Willow Trees, Pyongyang.

This is a song about the special period after the fall of the Soviet Union. The song is about a girl divided between her feelings and the commitment to the country and the party.

After all is a propaganda song, but a good one.
