[Keilar:] North Korea's communist regime is rocking out to an all-female pop band. It's hand-picked by the country's ever- cool and stylish dictator. I want to go live now to CNN's Kyung Lah in Seoul. This is pretty interesting, Kyung.
[Kyung Lah, Cnn Correspondent:] Very interesting and gathering a lot of interest here among North Korea watchers. Whether Kim Jong- Un's embrace of some parts of Western culture might signal any sort of change of heart in the regime.
[Lah:] Welcome to North Korea's hottest pop band, Moranbong. A violin-wielding, high heel-wearing, Kim Jong-Un-loving girl group. Formed, according to North Korea's propaganda, by the supreme leader himself. At this concert a long-range missile launches on the big screen behind them. Frenzied fans on their feet. The music crescendos as the missile strikes a picture of the United States. North Korea's age-old message delivered by women in a communist version of a Chanel suit. It is a modern, powerful twist for the repressive regime's brainwashing of its people. While Kim Jong-Un has reportedly executed members of his own family and inner circle, he's pitching himself as an exciting young leader, says North Korean Studies professor Yu Ho-yeol.
[Prof. Yu Ho-yeol, North Korean Studies, Korea University:] He, Kim Jong-Un, is a leader who are familiar with such kind of a strange and new and otherwise cultural image.
[Lah:] It is a calculated departure from the propaganda of his father's era. At North Korea's only airline, Air Koryo, flight attendants ditching the staid, Soviet-era uniforms, and replacing them with this, the leggy outfits gracing this month's cover of North Korea's magazine. The new North Korea spotted on Kim Jong-Un's very own wife, Ri Sol-ju. She is North Korea'Kate Middleton, spawning a Westernization of fashion in Pyongyang, down to the high heels. But nothing happens by accident on the hermit kingdom's propaganda TV. No citizens on earth are as happy as us, says North Korea's announcer, as Kim Jong-Un takes a ride at this brand-new amusement park. Pictures on his private plane show him as a progressive leader cementing his people's loyalty. North Korea watchers saying updating its propaganda from this to something more modern, more outside world, does have some political benefit. But there is some risk to the regime. The ladies of Moranbong perpetually in praise of Kim Jong-Un clearly got some ideas from their enemy on the other side of the DMZ South Korea's K-pop bands. Let in some new ideas?
[Yu Ho-yeol:] They want to look beyond the screen. Maybe it's a risk to the regime itself.
[Lah:] A challenge not on a military front but one of human curiosity. Here is the head-scratcher in all of this. That South Korean band that North Korea is copying, well, it is the very band, that very same song, that they objected to being played on the propaganda speakers that South Korea had erected on the DMZ. So, Brianna, they are willing to declare war over the message from the South, the music from the South, but are copying it themselves. So it's really something that is quite curious.
[Keilar:] It sure is. Kyung Lah for us in Seoul, thank you so much for that great report. Coming up, frontrunner Donald Trump pledges allegiance to the GOP. He promises to support the Republican nominee, which he also promises will turn out to be Donald Trump.
