Q: Why did the NORTH Korean girl band 'Moranbong' return to Korea after just arriving in China?

Shortly after arrival in china for a concert at Beijing, the all girl band 'Moranbong' canceled their appearance

and flew back to Korea before even the first musical note was played.

Does anyone know the reason?

It was supposed to be a goodwill tour after Korea's and China's relationship has been rather frosty.

Word around the campfire is the band was asked to change some lyrics - one line if I remember right -and they refused.

 

I suppose some fragile egos got bruised on either the Korean or Chinese side.

Indeed, that is also what I have found out and is mentioned in the European press.

I believe they were from the DPRK.  Probably had an urgent appointment back home that they couldn't knock back and which relieved them of their despair (lives).

Yes, they were from the DPRK and I just forgot to mention that.

This girl band is really very good but, as another person here mentioned

there was a disagreement with the China's functionaries about changing

some lyrics and the band refused. So, they went home again.

This article sums it up.

 

The Chinese gov was supposed to send a top official to one of the concerts but scrapped that idea after the whole H-bomb situation unearthed itself.
