The Laibach group will be the first foreign music group to perform in the otherwise hermetically sealed North Korea, where on August 19 and 20, 2015, two concerts are promised in the capital Pyongyang. He will be there as part of the Liberation Day Tour, and the date of the performances coincides with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese occupation, which divided Korea in half, so that even today they are seen as dog and cat.
Group Laibach will be the first foreign group ever to get permission to performance in North Korea. Which is understandable in its own way, since in this case it is about two people who are often misunderstood in the world. On one hand music group, accused of fascism, on the other a country with the same stigma. News about a turning point it also attracted many foreign media, including major ones BBC.
It is the door of a hermetically sealed country Laibach opened by a Norwegian director Morten Traavik, who joined forces with the band from Trbovel for the music video for the song Whistleblowers, and enjoys great trust from the Koreans with whom he works regularly. It is interesting that the Korean authorities did not get stuck in the group's controversy Laibach, because they took the Norwegian's word for it that this notion is false, for what it is BBC gives the example that the Poles would certainly not have invited them to Warsaw on the 70th anniversary of the uprising against Nazism if they were fascists and believed in totalitarianism.
