A North Korean propaganda song celebrating dictator Kim Jong Un has gone viral — and has been dubbed a pop banger by Gen Z TikTok users, according to a report.
The synth-laden earworm, titled “Friendly Father,” lavishes praise on the Hermit Kingdom’s dictator, with lyrics describing Kim as “warm-hearted like your mother” and “benevolent like your father.”
An accompanying music video for the two-minute hit released last month drives home the message conveying the power-hungry tyrant as a benevolent leader.
In one scene, Kim hugs a child before kissing her on the cheek, while in another, he is mobbed by a group of giddy women. Other moments in the video capture smiling military troops and bus riders of all ages singing along to the lyrics.
On the Chinese-owned app, the song has racked up millions of views, including from many Gen-Z users who are oblivious to the song’s lyrics that shower adoration on the same man who this earlier year promised to “thoroughly annihilate” the United States and rival South Korea if provoked, the BBC reported.
