North Korea's own "Girls' Generation" to boost army's morale

A North Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported that the North Korean army has a "girl troupe" to boost morale with song and dance. Koreabang picked up the report and posted it together with pictures and readers' comments. Netizens claimed that the article was pro-North Korea and that the troupe was nowhere in comparison with Girls' Generation. Another report said that North Korean soldiers prefered meat and alcohol rations to the entertainment from the troupe. This is a completely different reaction to the joy and excitement their counterparts in the South felt when Girls' Generation dropped by for a surprise visit.

The plainly dressed "regular" troupe performs for the army, while the better-looking "special" troupe performs for international events and guests.
